From someone who does rescue, THANK YOU,THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU! Thank you for saving those pups and mom. I'm glad you kept the mom,she is adorable(as are the pups). If it makes you feel any better, rescues screen their applicants stringently (well, LEGITS do) and the pups will have super homes. They will get healthy, be brought up to date on vaccs,socialized, and fixed when old enough. Any other medical needs will be taken care of as well before adoption. Just be patient wiith mom and she will come around, usually when you least expect it! And then she will become the most loyal dog you've ever owned. Thanks for getting hetr spayed, you may have saved her from reproductive cancer down the road as well as a lifetime of puppies had she stayed where she was. People do not understand the consequences of their actions when they become backyard breeders and something goes wromg. All they see is $$$ when breeding, and one medical incident can wipe out recovering any money from puppies. Besides, dogs should only be bred for the betterment of the species, not by people who don't know what they are doing!!!!! Sorry, just venting, as you can tell, it's a hot button for me! But anyway, thanks for all your time and effort, it will be well worth it! :)
