Vega

Vega is a 3 month old Australian Shepherd mix looking for her forever home.

From vega’s foster mom:

“I’ve been sick the past few days and this little one has been by my side giving me all the puppy snuggles to help me feel better. Her personality is starting to flourish. She is spunky, happy, feisty yet loving. She is getting better at potty training and hasn’t made a mess in her crate the past few days. She now knows how to sit and will take treats easily from you. She doesn’t know just how small she really is. Tries to run with all my big boys 😂”

Meet the absolutely sweetest cuddler, Carina.

She can be a little shy sometimes but once she loves you, she'll be your best friend. This little girl is gaining strength and weight after a tough battle with parvo which is allowing her smart, adventurous, and brave personality to come out. She plays hard and naps hard (preferably on you if possible but definitely near you). This little aussie mix is working hard on mastering potty training. She's also learning the basics such as sit and having a recall. She's fought hard to be here and deserves the best forever home. Could that be your home?

Vega

Sour patch, baby shark, might tiny— just a few of the nicknames this little girl has acquired within the past week of being here. Heart of a lion, size of a mouse. Strong willed and independent. She knows what she wants and is fully determined to do anything to get it. Sassy comes in all sizes— including hers! She plays hard but snuggles even harder. Loves playing with stuffies and tennis balls. Is learning to sleep through the night and no accidents in her puppy crib (she whines when she needs to go out). Working on potty training. Sometimes she lets you know, others she’ll use the potty pad I have indoors. Starting to work on basic commands- she’s a quick learner! Food motivation is wonderful for her. Still trying to teach her manners, but she’s slowly learning. ❤️

Vega is around 3 months old and is guessed to be an Aussie mix. She will be medium size.

Stella is looking for her forever family. She is around 16 weeks old, potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. She loves to play and nap. In fact, I’d say her favorite thing to do is cuddle up on the couch and take a nice, long nap. She likes to nap in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening 😂 Give her a comfy couch and she will absolutely take a nap. Did I mention she likes to nap??? 🤔

If interested in meeting Stella, please fill out an application today: https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162

Princess Stella got some great news yesterday! She has 90% of her vision in her previously clouded eye! We expect the rest of the cloudiness to disappear as well.

We desperately need your help. It’s been ten days in hospital for these babies. Somehow, they have all survived, though two of the girls have given us quite a scare a few times! We are looking at nearly $5000 each right now for this litter. Parvo is no joke, it usually kills. Vaccinations are much less expensive than fixing what could have been prevented. But here we are. $5000 times 6. Ugh. We literally got these babies just in the nick of time. It’s doubtful any of them would be alive today had we not committed to them - unknown to us we were walking in to this horrible, heartbreaking and expensive mess. By Friday, we should know whether or not four of the puppies can move into their foster homes this weekend. The two young ladies who crashed earlier this week may need more time to stabilize. They aren’t out of the woods by any stretch. Ourselves and their whole medical team are hopeful all your prayers will keep them moving forward! But $5000 each for their two weeks stay is draining us. Any amount donated is appreciated! They deserve a shot at life! CLICK HERE TO DONATE: https://gotgm.networkforgood.com/projects/244056-mopups-with-parvo

We have news on Ferguson. The large spot on the back was a fatty tumor. More than likely caused by ingrown hairs. The other mass was indeed a Mast Cell. They have clean margins, and it is not one they see spread very often. Ferguson is living large and having fun with his foster dad. He is not going to let him go anywhere ;-)

Ferguson just enjoying life. Gotgm.org

Rocky's foster siblings are working hard to teach him how much fun it is to be a dog. Rocky is picking up on training really well. He is crate trained and walks well on a leash.
