Last week someone dropped off their pregnant chow in my neighborhood. She ended up in my yard, so I took her in until I could find her a home. The last thing I wanted to do was let her run around considering we live right by a highway. Anyway, she ended up having her puppies outside in my other dog's kennel. She had 6 adorable little ones....3 black, 2 white, and 1 brown. Today they are 4 days old. As of right now she and the puppies are staying in my spare bedroom, but I can not keep her. My boyfriend and I are moving next week and we have too many animals as it is.
I am from Sumter, SC and have called Pets Inc. in Columbia. They don't have any available foster homes right now and can not take the mom and puppies until they are 6 weeks old, old enough to be adopted. My other option is the SPCA here, but they want $10 for the mom and $5 per puppy. I really don't have a good feeling about taking her there, cuz I know they won't TRY to find her a home. She is a VERY lovable dog and seems to be house trained. She has not used the bathroom inside at all and when she has to go out she lets me know if I haven't already taken her.
Is there anyone in the Sumter area or within driving distance (I will be willing to meet half way or more) that can provide a permanent home or at least a foster home until the puppies are old enough to be adopted?
All help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, Krystal
