Debut Tomorrow!!

The puppies will be making their first appearance at the Forgotten Friends- Mixed Breed Rescue Meet & Greet tomorrow (Sunday 7/28) at PETCO (Great Trills Hail)! We are so excited for everyone to come out and see these adorable huggable loves.

The pups are 8 1/2 weeks old and they moved out of their group pen today and into crates. Beginning now they are eating in their own bowls at mealtime rather than having food out all the time. This is the next step in housebreaking and crate training-- our babies are growing up!!

Mingle!!

These littlest pups got to begin mingling with the "big pups" today! Everyone had a blast playing and sniffing-- these guys are SO FLUFFY! And they had fun getting to explore the back yard for the first time beyond the ex-pen.

The Great Outdoors!

The pups have been enjoying some time outside in their exercise pen each day as part of their exploration of their expanding world. They can't wait to get out with the other puppies they can see running around in the yard, though! It won't be long now, they are getting bigger every day and have had their first shots now.

Josie, Joey, & Jonathan

This last 10 days brought some very sad news to our home. A week ago sweet little Josie died. It was unexpected and heartbreaking, but the vet assured us that her littermates are not at risk. Still, it was such a shocking loss, and we were so sorry for her short life. But then our dear rescue director, Deborah, had a wonderful thought. She found out that through some serendipity there were still two littermates alive in the shelter and she went and rescued them! So now little Joey and Jonathan have joined their sisters and brother here in our Foster Home.

What's Four More?

OK, we had our hands full before these little ones arrived on June 22nd, but who could look into those darling fuzzy faces and turn them away?! We think they were about 3 1/2 weeks old when they arrived, making them about 5 weeks old today.

Junie, Josie, Jasper, & Jade have made it through their first 10 days out of the shelter without getting sick, and that is a great sign! They have changed so much in that time already. They have really started to eat a lot and grow! And now they are barking and playing with each other and letting us know they want to be out with us (they are currently confined to an ex-pen in the kitchen). TOO cute!!
