Found 7 stray puppies

[sumbirdy]

I agree they need to be neutered and have their shots. Which is why I am hoping that the shelter I called has a foster program. They are supposed to call today or tomorrow so I'll ask. I'd be happy to keep them here until they find homes, it's just that I can't afford all the things that go with them. Especially since I have two 5 month old pups that I am getting spayed and neutered pretty soon. I just could not leave them at the dumpsters. I have a little money right now put back that will take care of shots, wormer, and food for a little while. But it's not going to last forever. I'll update everyone after I talk to the shelter.

I would also make sure the people who adopt these pups research hounds and not adopt them just because they are cute.. they are not for everyone and end up back in the shelter system because they start acting like a hound and people aren't prepared. So I would require experience and or research because they look like they have a lot of hound in them more than anything.. maybe lab/coonhound. Best of luck.

Aren't they sweet! Bless you for helping them, Sumbirdy!

Good news! The shelter called back and I am now the foster parent for the puppies. I just sent pictures off to them so they can put them on their website and in their paper. They will provide food, vet care, etc...
Also, we found a home for one of them (Chaos). My mother has a man that comes by about once a month to deliver medical supplies and he had his girlfriend with him today. She held the puppy and fell in love with him. So now it is 6 little puppies. The funny thing is dad was out talking to them and giving them the puppy while I was uploading the pictures in an email to the shelter. So I had to go back and delete Chaos' picture off of it. Nathan already misses him.

This is wonderful news. I hope that the other puppies will also find great homes quickly too.

Thank goodness you have some help with the puppies.

Can you post the phone number or website for the shelter; I would gladly make a contribution for the care of these pups. You and the shelter are so wonderful for helping them!

The puppies had their shots, flea treatment and de-wormer today. They should be getting neutered in early October, but the details are still being worked out. They are up on the ARK's website www.arkofmccurtaincounty.org so hopefully they will be finding homes soon!

Awww....they are so cute!!

The shelter may have found a home for one of the pups. There is a woman who has a chicken house and she wants a dog who can go in the chicken house with her but not bother the chickens, so she wants to get a puppy so it'll be easier to train. I think that she'll be meeting them the 8th or 9th when I bring them to the shelters clinic to have them neutered. I'll know more Wednesday, but hopefully one of the pups has found a home (or maybe she'll take 2! ) Everyone cross your fingers that one of the pups finds a forever home with this lady and that the others find their homes soon. It's going to be so hard letting them go but I know that they will be so much better off with someone who can take care of them and provide for them for the rest of their lives.

Oh, good luck! Sounds like some pup will get an important job!

Fingers and paws crossed here for the pup to get adopted!

Jack is going to his new home on Saturday after he gets neutered. It's actually going to be a trial run to see if he and her older dog gets along, and if they do then the lady will keep him. So hopefully Jack minds his manners and is respectful of the dog of the house. It's going to be hard seeing him go though...

[MoonandBean]

Aww...Good luck Jack!!!!! I just fostered a kitten and it was hard letting him go at 12 weeks but he is sooo happy in his new home and getting the attention he deserves that I couldn't give him. Thanks for fostering them after you saved their lives

Well the lady decided she didn't want a puppy after all. All of the pups were neutered today. They were good little boys as they waited their turn. Everyone did great exept for Cosmo. He lost a lot of blood and they had to give him blood and he came out with a big bandage around his rear. He has to be on atibiotics for a couple of days. The good thing is he doesn't seem to be in pain or anything but the bandage is driving him crazy.
