Unfortunately there are no homes available; shelters and fosters are already overloaded. So, after surgery, this little one was returned to the parking lot where we found her, where she lives with her two brothers and her mom (the second female we were after). Wish we could find her a family :(<br /><br />Thanks so much for the visit, Marcy!

(For the better, too.) <br /><br />Thanks for the kind words on the rescue... Yes, at least one of these girls won't be suffering through gang rape and pregnancies and having her puppies killed or lost, and those puppies won't have to suffer any of it at all. That is indeed a good thing :)Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115660076832707211.post-71787119447754958972016-05-01T13:01:04.047-04:002016-05-01T13:01:04.047-04:00100% success in one of two goals...
