It is beyond us how a new Mom and 5 two week old puppies end up at the shelter as "Strays", but that is what happened.

Samantha is a new Mom and you can see the sadness in worry in her eyes, and for good reason.  She and her FIVE puppies, just barely 2 weeks old, their eyes not even hardly open yet had found themselves in the shelter.

In case that was not heartbreaking enough, they were all fighting two battles - the clock was ticking down for how long the shelter could hold them, and every hour that Samantha's puppies spent in that shelter almost guaranteed that one or more of them would not make it out alive, even if that chance came.

Shelters are no place for puppies to be and the rescue office tries with all their might to get them out as quickly as possible as they have almost no immune systems to fight off the never ending list of illness in the shelter.

It sadly, was almost a question of which way were they not going to make it - shelter hold, or illness.  

The call came directly to President Pam - would we help?

We saw the look of worry in Samantha's eyes and her little ones with so many things stacked against them.  We were their only chance.

We placed our hold and Samantha and her new family will be headed straight to PAWS where they will be met with love from Dr. Riff and her team along with clean beds, soft blankets to snuggle, and most importantly, Samantha will have the proper food to nurse. 

We are back again to ask your help in making a miracle - or 6 as it might be.  This is heavy lift as puppies take A LOT but we could not turn them away and we hope you agree their lives were worth saving.

As always, all it takes is $1 to join the hardest working team in rescue.  Do you have a few dollars to spare to help save 6 lives?
