I remember seeing an old beat up truck driving slowly down our road, but they didn't stop or anything....so I don't know, and I haven't seen that truck anywhere before.

I had to put the other three dumpee's into another pen. and I was able to catch the 9 puppies, but the momma dog is stark wild. Its obvious someone was really mean to her. You can see where her collar was, and it must have been too tight, she has scabs all around that area.

I guess they threw her out of the car with the babies, and took the collar off so I wouldn't find out who they were.

I fed the babies, and left some food out for the momma dog. The puppy pen is short enough that she could jump in it with no problem, but the babies can't climb out.

Only problem is that every time I try to catch her when she's in the pen, she hops out and runs off.

I'm gonna have to get my friend over, he has white tail deer and keeps a tranq. gun just in case one's injured, escapes, exc....

I don't have a choice, but I don't like that rought either.

She's in bad shape. Skinny and mangled.

I'm guessing they are shephard/terrier....about a med. size dog. The puppies are all diffrent colors!

What am I gonna do now? Oh lordy. I pray for the day I have no strays, dumpee's, and rejected pets from abuse or neglect.....

I'll try to post photos when I get a chance.
I don't know what to do!

I just can't consive how someone could do this! I know I say that everytime a new dog, puppies exc, come my way, but everytime I can't help but think to myself, what do they do to their own family? Throw them out when their tired of them?? What if their daughter gets pregnant, throw her and the baby out on the side of the road? COme on! These babies are precious. not even a 1/2lb each!!!!

I just..ugh! you know, if they can't care for them, why in the hell did they get them in the first place? Because it was a cute puppy???? "aww look honey ( or mommy or daddy) ain't he cute??? Can I have him..PLLLEEEESSSEEE!!??" Then bring them home, neglect and abuse them, and
*WHAM* back to square one!

They are older than I initially thought and doing great. Hopefully this weekend they can find homes.

The three female pups have all found wonderful homes!!! I'm soooo glad.

There is another lady, that has set up a spay and neuter program in our area. If you donate $20 she'll pay the rest to spay them.
I think its a great idea, and I've been taking the females (that are old enough) to them. There are a few vets that work with this program. Any one that adopts a puppygets a card to remind them, and tell them of the program.

If you want donate puppy supplies thats great. Just email me and I'll send you some info!
