Retriever Mix Mom and Puppies

Bellingham WA

Description

I rescued a mom and her 3 puppies from being euthanized at a shelter in San Antonio, TX. I managed to get a rescue to tag them for me and I flew down to get them the day they would have been euthanized and drove them home. Because the rescues have all been so full I have been fostering them on my own the last few weeks until the puppies are old enough to be adopted. They are currently almost 6 weeks old and will be ready to be adopted by around 8-10 weeks. The mom is still nursing her puppies and they are in the process of being weaned. While I would love to keep them all, I am not able to care for 4 more dogs plus my own dog who prefers being an only dog. Now that they are safe, they are looking for their forever homes. These 4 girls are survivors and have their whole lives to look forward to now. Short description of this beautiful family: Mom (Lily) - 2 year old female Retriever mix. Had 5 puppies recently (2 of her puppies were fostered in TX) and is naturally protective. She is house trained and very loving when she knows you. She loves to give kisses and be pet. She gets very excited when she sees other animals but I don't know how she would do with other animals in the house since she is a retriever and likes to chase. She will bark at strangers but once she is introduced she will beg for affection. She does have a medical issue which she is being treated for. She just wants someone to spend time with her and shower her with love. While she is house trained, she does not know any commands yet so she does need basic training. Currently 46 lbs. White and black puppy (Violet) - Violet is the biggest of the bunch and most assertive. She is the alpha female of the 3 puppies. She is adorable and playful. Currently 3.5 lbs. Brown and black puppy (Daisy) - Daisy is the calmest of the puppies and likes to sleep. She is very affectionate and quiet. The vet said that she is anemic and has low blood sugar which could be why she is more subdued. We are going to deworm them all to see if that is what is causing the issue. Currently 3 lbs. Black puppy (Rose) - Rose was the runt of the litter but that did not stop her! She is a feisty little girl who likes to play rough and tumble with her sister, Violet. She loves to get into mischief and has a lot of energy. Currently 3.5 lbs. There is a rehoming fee of $200 to cover the cost of spay. Depending on how old they are when they are being adopted, I will do initial vaccines but you would be responsible for second vaccines. I am currently deworming them. Please contact me via email to inquire more about any of the dogs and I would be happy to send more pictures and answer any questions or set up a time to meet them.
