My Foster Dogs

[Candy317]

This is Hope and her seven male pups. She was pulled out the 'E' list at the MDAS, not sure what the E list is exactly, but she didn't have much time. I believe if she came in pregnant, that pregnant dogs are euthanized at the shelter. MDAS is a very high kill shelter in S.FL.

If you know anyone looking to adopt in the S. FL area and are interested in Hope or her pups please do it through saveadeathrowdog.org as they were the ones who rescued Hope and her pups. Hope is very sweet, housetrained, has nice leash manners, calm, doesn't bark, and would snuggle and watch movies with you all day. The puppies are two weeks old and will be put up for adoption along with Hope in 6 weeks. I'll update in pictures as they grow up.


Look how thin she is! Any breed guesses? She's about 25lbs-20lbs, up to my knee in height, so I'll say around the size of a cocker spaniel I think?






Lets see if I can do this without the help of google...Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, and uhh going to cheat on this one, Happy!


First pup to open his eyes today.

Adorable and thank you for fostering! I would say she is Beagle/Lab. Such a pretty girl. I would feed her some satin balls and don't forget to feed her puppy food as well as those pups will take a lot out of her and she needs extra calories. I would also have puppy milk on hand incase she stops lactating. Are you working with a rescue? I would have them help out with puppy milk, but do NOT get Hartz.

Good for you for fostering Candy! Hope and her puppies are adorable. I hope they find great forever homes.

Thanks for the advice! She's been real finicky about eating too.

Oh turns out E list means euthanasia list.

No problem! I expect more pics as they are growing.. they probably sleep right now a lot.

Bless you for taking in Hope and her babies! They are among the few lucky ones.

I only learned about MDAS from FB. They receive in 100 dogs PER DAY! And euthanize as many as they just don't have space. It is very sad. (I don't have info on cats, but it is equally bad.)

Sadly, many rescue groups, like the one I am with, are banned from pulling dogs there! They insist they must do a home visit, and most times we don't have a local foster home opening for the dog; we would fly it to an open home.

Uggh that sucks, they have SO MANY purebreds, small breeds, puppies, its insane, last time I checked they had over 300 dogs currently at the shelter. I know it would be ideal for areas were shelters that don't get small dogs/puppies alot and have requests that they would ship these dogs out! So many rare breeds come in too like filas and even english bulldogs and once I've even seen a french bulldog and an afghan hound!!

I mean I would volunteer for the kill shelter in my own county, but its SO bad there, I decided to help out for that shelter. Even the rescue group I got the fosters from are located in my county, this shelter needs as much help as it can. Even rescues are overwhelmed with pulling dogs from there, even the small breed rescues like yorkies, chihuahuas, ect. They don't even have ac/heat for the dogs! Then they don't even vaccinate the dogs that don't have pending adopters so illnesses spread quickly there.

I tried to get my friend to adopt a pit bull from there (since he's from the county I'm from where pit bulls aren't banned unlike Miami, so they don't adopt them out to Miami residents) but was discouraged from all the sickly looking dogs they had, which I don't blame him, he ended up adopting a pit from a shelter here....he also said he didn't even see the pit bulls, which they keep away from the public that goes in a different ward

Are you apart of a bichon rescue? They get soooooooooo many bichons but label them poodles. I can image rescues that have more requests than actual dogs would love to pull from this shelter, they get a huge amount of dogs from almsot every breed imageable!
