Tiny and Vulnerable ... Yet Abandoned

     They are so vulnerable and tiny.  They can’t fend for nor feed themselves; they won’t survive alone.  Someone who has a female dog, allows her to get pregnant, to go through the whole process of giving birth; to start raising them and then when they are just shy of 2 months they take her babies away from her and dump them somewhere not knowing or caring about their fate.  The dangers are numerous. 

Puppies, Puppies Everywhere!!

This little guy was abandoned a few days ago with three little sisters (below).

     This time of the year is the worst for abandoned puppies.  Over the last few weeks, we have been faced with trying to accommodate 29 puppies, ages from 2 ½ months or less!! We don’t have a shelter; we are volunteers who find space in our homes and yards.  To start, if they are in a dangerous spot we move them somewhere less dangerous.  If our homes are full we start asking people we know if they can help in any way.  If our friends can't help we have to find a place to put them away from cars or people that might harm them until something better can be found.
