As many of you may know, we got a call about a doberman mom and her puppies yesterday and we had to act F-A-S-T! I picked up mama and 6 pups yesterday afternoon. Absolute sweethearts!! I took them to one of our primary vets, Deerfoot Animal Clinic. The pups are approx 11 wks old, averaging 11lbs each and have never had any vaccinations yet. We got all of them vaccinated asap and started deworming. They are staying there to be quarantined for 7-10 days to allow their first booster vax time to help and to monitor and make sure they are healthy. So far, no signs of any health issues.
Mama (Gwen) is scared but quickly bonds with you if you are baby talking and loving on her. She shows signs of being mistreated and her poor crop job someone did on her ears is sad BUT it's who she is now and we love her! She IS unfortunately heartworm positive but other than that seems to be a healthy girl. Gwen seems of great temperament, very loving, alittle while to trust, but very quiet and docile. So far from what we have seen she is great with kids and other dogs. Not sure about cats. She is getting a very much needed bath today and then going to a temp foster today. Updates on whether or not we'll need another foster to follow...
Mama's name is Gwen and babies are Brandon, David, Dylan, Brenda, Donna and Kelly. :) We will be getting pictures of each and posting them ASAP.
We need fosters and/or donations!
All Donations are tax deductible!!
1) Monetary donations can be sent to:
Peace Love & Dog Paws Rescue, Inc.
PO Box 43501
Birmingham, AL 35243
2) PAYPAL donations can be sent to our email address; "SEND MONEY" to PeaceLoveDogPawsRescue@gmail.com
3) Our vet will take donations by phone also, we need for someone to tell us they are donating by phone so we can keep up with everyone if they need a donation acknowledgment for their records. Deerfoot Animal Clinic 205-661-9680 (just let them know you are donating towards the Doberman Mix pups)
WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE THEIR SPAY AND NEUTER CERTS ALL DONATED!!
It was urgent that we rescue them and luckily they are safe!! We were full before these babies so boarding will be costly until we can find foster homes. We may have a rescue in South Alabama, A Stray Love Foundation, who will take two of the pups BUT we will need help with transporting them from Birmingham to possibly the Evergreen/Midway exit (halfway from Summerdale, AL). If you think you may be able to help in transporting 2 of these pups sometimes next week they will not be available to leave our vet for atleast 7 days, then please email me potts_alison@yahoo.com or peacelovedogpawsrescue@gmail.com and we can discuss details.
If you are interested in fostering for us, please go to our website and complete a foster application ASAP http://www.peacelovedogpawsrescue.com/app_foster_adopt.html
