Ruthie (Rayne 10-059)

Profile

Rayne is 4 weeks old and has 4 brothers. Her momma is Molly 10-058.  They arrived from Missouri on Saturday and were welcomed to our crazy pack of dogs and people!  Winston, resident dog, is loving the pups.  Buster 09-298, my other foster, is not quite sure what to make of them.

They arrived very healthy and shall we say, chubby!  They range in weight from 8-9 lbs, which is quite large for 4 weeks.  They’re already eating soft puppy food and still enjoy nursing from momma.  I think she will start weaning them in the next couple weeks or so.  The pups will receive their first vaccinations in 3 weeks and then the following week (end of March) they will be spayed or neutered.

Did I say how adorable they are?? Momma appears to be all Golden. Dad is said to be part black lab and coonhound mix. What a combination!  They have received many visitors and have enjoyed the attention. Thank you everyone who has donated newspaper, paper towels and blankets to them.  We sure go through a lot of paper products! 

More info to follow later this week. They will not be able to go to their forever homes until after their spay/neuters, which would make them available to “go home” the first week in April.

Rayne – Rayne (or Rayna, as we call her) is now 6 weeks old and she had her first bath today! She is quite the feisty girl, but is also very sweet. She plays hard and loves to chase her brothers around, but also give great puppy hugs. She is the smallest, but holds her own with four brothers! The litter is currently weaning off of Molly, so Rayne has spent the last few nights without momma and has been doing great. She is ready to meet her forever family!
