It all started over three yeas ago with getting an email about a mom and pups in Greenville, SC at animal control. Could we save them? Yes, we
would rescue. In the meantime, another rescue stepped up, pulled them and transported them to NJ to a rescue up there. However, the mom looked so badly --she had hair loss and was very thin -- that they refused her! So, the whole family came back to Greensboro, NC and we were contacted again. Could we take them now? One of our volunteers drove 2-1/2 hours to Greensboro and picked them up.
They were brought back to our shelter where our volunteers really went to work and started supplementing feeding the pups goat's milk twice a day to help mom out. Mom got a special diet, also, to get some weight on her. Our volunteers made schedules out as to who was coming in to feed these pups. Once the pups were of weaning age, foster parents took them home and went on a campaign to find all of them wonderful homes. Some were placed locally; some have ended up in FL and another in Alpharetta, GA.
A family that adopted one of the pups found out that mom was still at our shelter, and came back and adopted mom, too! So, they have all done well for themselves.
The owner of one of the pups had a birthday party for the entire litter on January 29th. All the dogs got along with each other – toys and treats given them, and a buffet for the “people” along with a birthday cake. It was great!
