Believe me, she's been reported hundreds of times. That's why she left Kelowna, because the neighbors kept complaining. She'd have a dog tied to every vehicle in the driveway. The spca said that because she took them to the vet when they got sick, there wasn't a problem. She got reported when she moved up where she is now, but the spca wouldn't do anything because she lives in the middle of nowhere and there are no laws there apparently.

I'm so sorry. This is a tough situation. I know you feel bad for the puppies and their mother ... and also for you grandma, whom you obviously love. This is a no-win situation. Hoarding is a disease, there are no easy answers. You are caught between a rock and a hard place, that's for sure. Do what you can, and don't beat yourself up over what you can't do.

This is a very bad situation for everyone. It is so sad that the pups have to be taken from their mother at such a young age. Try posting on Petfinder. How about a few signs at the vets in your area. This is a very bad time to sell puppies. People buy dogs for xmas gifts and after the holidays, many of these gift end up in shelters.

Best of luck to you and your mom. You are good people for trying to help out.

I sure hope everything works out!!!

Christmas is coming, why don't you try to sell them for $50. I normally wouldn't suggest this, but if Nicki needs to get spayed then it's the only way. If they don't go for $50, then reduce the price. Sylvia is small, but her spaying is going to cost $110. Maybe you should try to call more vets. Sorry this isn't the best advice, but it's a tricky situation.

i think that is tootally messed that your grandma would let her dog go around unspayed..

[My Peanuts]

I don't blame your grandma. She grew up in a different time. It is irresponsible and bad for the problems of homeless animals, but things were different in the past. I don't think anyone should say anything bad or pass judgment. Wolfsoul is trying to help the problem and get Nicki spayed.

That's true, things were very different back then. There weren't as many animals in shelters, that's for sure. She's have maybe 15 or 20 dogs at a time. She'd have lots of small dogs and would often get litters of shih poos or pekignese mixes and such. She sold them for 20 each. Nowadays they could be sold for hundreds.

yeah my mom and dad were talking to me about that the other day, they said when they were teens their dogs were never on a leash they would run in pavcks and always know who was the learder, and none of them were spayted or neutered, and they would have the run of the town. the pound had a hard time trying to catch them too, they were very street smart, my dads dog saved his life and I believe he was a kees hound labX he wasnt neutered and he probably bred all the time.His dog would walk him to school everyday, and then would go off and do its own thing.. The dogs would have a curfew like humans did, they would have to be home by 10 and my grandma would usually call for my dads dog *snoopy* and he would come a runnin... I am glad life isnt like that anymore though..

Me Too! Man, I hope you find those puppies homes, and get that dog spayed........while your at it, have a little fun with those puppers! I can't believe people let their dogs run around

unspayed It makes me so mad. Our local pound just said on the radio they have Christmas puppies. Why all of a sudden? Do you think somebody dumped them, or do you think the pound bred them on purpose to sell them for christmas?

[wolfsoul]

I don't think we are getting the puppies tomorrow. My mom can't go anymore, but my aunt can and she won't drive in the snow. Well, it's supposed to snow tonight and all day tomorrow. Pray that is doesn't!

We've already got a home for one. But this person isn't paying because he's my grandma's friend. He's really upset because his dog was just killed by a bear a few days ago. He was a really cute rotti/collie mix.

He's going to take it before I can even see the puppy lol. He lives down the trail from my grandma.

I don't want to go in front of stores...people get suspicious, and on numerous times I've heard about the spca being called and taking the pups when people sell them from their trucks at the mall.

[*FlatCoatsRule*]

Really? That's how I've seen our spca sell puppies before!!! Poor babies..........hope they all get homes.....is there any way you would keep one aficially? Or would your mom not let you?
