On April 18th we got a call from our friends at Always & Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary about a momma dog in really rough shape and her 7 puppies that she could no longer care for. We were able to make sure their mom, Esperanza, was stable before sending her to Blue Pearl for a blood transfusion and emergency surgery, but then we were left with 7 hungry puppies on Easter weekend. A lot of fosters were already leaving town and these babies needed help - our staff stepped up! Dr. Gibbs, Dr. Stafford, Melissa, Peyton, and their families kept the babies over the holiday weekend and they became just a little bit "ours." We named them after the characters from Encanto and got to show them how great people can be. They went on to their new fosters after that, but we got to see them grow up for their vaccine appointments, pre-surgery bloodwork, and then, today, that journey is finally coming to an end. "Our" beautiful, healthy babies got spayed/neutered and get to be officially adopted into their forever homes! π
