I'm getting a foster Mom and pups on Friday

Beautiful girl. You can't really see the pups well in this pic. I guess I'll have to wait until Friday to see them better. There are only 3 pups, we don't know if they found them all. She was a stray to the shelter.

Thanks Mini...you're a wonderful person. Good luck.

Good luck in parting with them when they find a forever home.

Send us some pictures in a couple weeks.

By the time they are 8 weeks old, I think I will be ready for them to leave. I'll post more pics when I get them.

She has light eyes like a Weimeraner, but also looks Rhodesian ridgeback, or chocolate Lab. I'm sure she'll bloom when she feels secure in a stable environment, and can focus on her pups. Thank you for helping them!

She looks so sad, but I'm sure she is such a good girl, and her puppies are precious.

That is really a pathetic photo. I am sure you will be able to do better when they are settled in.

You are doing a wonderful thing by taking in four dogs to foster.

You have my thanks and my admiration for saving these kiddos! Without fosters, many more would be killed in shelters. It is because of people like YOU that more are saved!

Per the vet, they are between 2 & 3 weeks. Looks like they just opened their eyes. Stay tuned for pics when they get here.

She is really good about people handling her pups, she just wants to be babied herself. Loves getting pets and giving kisses
