This sweet, sweet lady is formerly an expectant momma. She is at Heard County Animal Control, and has given birth, so far, to nine adorable puppies on the cold shelter floor. She has a rescue that has said YES to her. Only one problem. They are all the way in South Carolina, all the way almost to the North Carolina border. We need a volunteer or two!
Can you:
- Drive from Franklin, in South West Georgia (an hour and a half west of Atlanta) to northern South Carolina.
- Bring a passenger with you to look in on the pups, and periodically make sure no one is rolled on or no one gets crushed, etc. They are only a day old!
- Have an SUV or station wagon, where you can lay blankets down. A crate is not appropriate for them, as the pups could pressed against the sides, and there is so man of them.
- Provide water for mom, and a little dog food just in case she cares to eat.
Alternately, we can break this up into two different “teams” to each drive halfway, though it would be best for momma and the new family not to have to be moved.
If you can do something like this, you can save a life! Actually, about a dozen lives! Wouldn’t that be a great feeling to know that those little tiny puppies whose eyes aren’t even open yet won’t contract a disease in the shelter, but will be able to grow up in a loving foster home. They will be raised up and then adopted into loving homes. Mom will get a second chance to.
It is an unfortunate result of many people still not getting the spay and neuter message. If mom had been spayed, her people wouldn’t have felt overwhelmed with the idea of little mouths to feed and may not have dumped her at the shelter.
If you can help mom, please comment on this blog and I will get in touch! Also, if you cannot, but may be able to drive a different route sometime, please let me know. There are plenty of opportunities available!
