Sometimes when we offer to help, we don't know how dire the situation is until afterwards. We offered to help take in a few puppies. Later we realized the puppies were only 5 weeks old and asked about the mama. The woman was willing to give us the mama and later we found out there was another puppy. So today, we thought we were getting 5 puppies and a mama.
Once our transporter arrived, she found out that originally there were 7 puppies! I died, and the woman was keeping 2 to give to someone. She begged and pleaded for the puppies to stay with mama, but they would not give up the dogs. We found out that mama had 5 litters to date! Poor girl is exhausted. Our transporter said it was horrible conditions for dogs and humans. All the puppies and mama were covered with fleas. We spent 2 hours bathing and flea combing trying to get them all off. 2 of the puppies had white gums when they arrived, probably from fleas and intestinal parasites. We have seperated them from the mama to monitor and watch for hypoglycemia. Mama is a little aggressive towards the pups with food, apparently they were feeding her cheap Walmart kibble (equal to eating Fruit Loops every day as all your meals).
We are hopeful that these dogs will be okay. At least they are clean and safe and away from the irresponsible pet owners/backyard breeders. We can only pray the 2 puppies she would not surrender get the help they need.
We were told mama is named Birdie, so we named her babies after birds. She is a good mama, and we are happy that this will be her last litter. We believe she is a long hair chiweenie (papa looked like a chihuahua/terrier). We will continue to update on their health.
All dogs will need to be fully vetted before they go up for adoption. We assume mama is HW positive, but won't know for sure until she is vetted. They need medication, food and supplies. Please help us by donating.
