Eight Doodle Puppies Need Your Help!!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

 

 

These 8 10-week-old labradoodle puppies were relinquished to DRC volunteer and rescue partner Elizabeth Gunn of Gunn Dogs Rescue by a BYB in Arkansas. The DRC and Gunn Dogs are collectively caring for them.

There are 3 chocolate girls and 5 boys, chocolate and black.

 

These babies are severely malnourished, flea and worm infested, have various skin conditions, eye and ear infections, diarrhea, and giardia. They have never seen a vet. 

(Their parents also have never been seen by a vet. Gunn Dogs and the DRC were unable to negotiate the release of the parents with this "breeder".)

 

These puppies were starving, dehydrated and lethargic when they arrived. Initial vetting indicates that they are Parvo free but they need to be closely monitored for symptoms over the next few weeks and fecal tests will need to be repeated with or without presentation of symptoms.They all required sub-cutaneous fluids and they are being treated for all the various infections along with the worms and giardia. Elizabeth is also providing them with electrolyte supplements and high calorie puppy food.

 

 

We are in the process of finding suitable fosters/care-givers. Needless to say, the task ahead of us is huge, but I have no doubt that the day will come when all of us here will smile at photos of 8 healthy, beautiful doodle puppies, going to their loving forever homes.

We need your help to make that day a reality.

 

Please make a donation to the DRC on behalf of the Arkansas Puppies. Any amount will help so much. And thank you, DK Family, for your generous and caring hearts, from the bottom of mine.

The puppies thank you, too!

Looks like they are into eating. How are they doing?

[Camilla and Darwin]

So glad they are doing better, But WOW, This picture shows just how skinny they are. Thank heavens they are being so well taken care of now!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I think these photos are probably from when they first arrived at Elizabeth's place. She is so swamped with dogs, many of them needing special care, not to mention the day-to-day emails, etc (and trips to neighboring states to pick-up and drop-off dogs), that she hasn't had a chance to get updated photos. But the word is that they are all doing well!

I just made my donation. If any are transported to anywhere in Texas I want to help!

I am glad they are doing better. This breaks my heart. Will keep up prayers, good thoughts and donations.

I saw that these sweet doods are officially up for adoption - they look so much healthier on their petfinder ads!! I love their unique coloring - some families are going to be very lucky :)
