The dog and 5 puppies have been retrieved from the backyard of the home! After numerous calls to Animal Services, someone finally came out yesterday BUT the officer failed to catch the mom.

This was actually a good thing because in the meantime I was working the internet and got connected to a man who offered to come help out. He showed up today and I met him there, with my two-year old in tow. He got the mom quite easily and I fished the 5 adorable, chubby puppies out from a crevice against the wall. How they got around, I'll never know. Anyway, he took them off to the shelter and he's going to network with some rescue groups to get them out of there and adopted out. The mom too.

I am so happy about this ending, my heart is going to burst! The hero in this story is working on starting his own rescue group and I'm certainly going to be a donor!

Good luck to the little mom and her 5 adorable babies!
