Today I picked up this very thin mom plus her 5 very fat pups from a shelter way out in the desert. Poor mom was so thin, I don’t see how she was nursing, but she was. The pups were just plump and happy, so she must be. The pups appear about ready to be weaned so poor mom can take a much need break. They all are going to a great rescue and will be well cared for. The mom was so sweet, but frightened. She settled right down when pups were placed back with her. Now it’s her time to rest.

All were pulled from a severely overcrowded shelter, that many more need to be saved from, but that’s all we could save today. Are they all cute and cuddly? Sure, but so are many others that were left behind. In the coming days we will try for a second group to get out. Don’t know for sure if we can, it depends on whether the rescues have room for more. But we will try; that’s all we can do.
