What happens when a backyard breeder no longer wants to breed a certain type of dog?  They put them out in the back yard until they can get rid of them.  Such is the case with Lil and her five sons as well as two other adults.  Needless to say that Saturday when these babies came there were all sick.  They are three weeks old.  I was so totally unprepared to get so many sick dogs and especially the number of pups that I got.  But I called the Board of Directors for the Sanctuary and the hard working group they are they found some liquid amoxycillin for all the pups and drove the two hours from the city of Fort Lauderdale to my place in the sticks and delivered it and other goodies for some of the other animals.

Lil is emaciated and sick herself.  Jess brought everything up here and helped me get them all settled and fed and spent the afternoon helping with many things.  These babies will make ti thanks to the dedication of the Board of  Directors and the wonderful soul in Georgia who got these babies away from the breeder so we could get them.  Although we had to pay dearly for them we also know that without Patsy and her never ending days of finding backyard breeder dogs needing us and shelter dogs needing us these pups might not have made it.  They may not be out of the woods yet but they are much closer than they would have been and have a great chance of making it.
