We wanted to take a moment to properly introduce our newest Speaklings - the Camelot litter - and to thank all of you, for the incredible support you show our rescue. We also want to extend a huge thank you to our volunteers who acted fast. Without that quick response, these puppies may not have made it, especially Merlin, who arrived extremely lethargic and constipated. And it wasn’t the cold that posed the greatest danger, it was what was happening in their tiny 2-lb bodies. These babies have been battling a severe infestation of intestinal worms. Most puppies are born with some worms, which is why they must be treated every two weeks. When they aren’t, the parasites multiply to dangerous levels — stealing nutrients, causing anemia, stunting growth, and in severe cases leading to blockages, organ failure, or respiratory distress when the worms migrate to the lungs. So, while we are sharing some adorable pics of these puppies, just know this week has been far from “just cute.” It has been a week full of round the clock care.
Introducing: Arthur (m), Gareth (m), Gawain (m), Merlin (m), Guinevere (f), Avalon (f), and Laudine (f). Both Merlin and Guinevere are deaf and the very best sleepers!
They are not yet ready for their forever homes, but we are accepting early applications for those who want to be considered once they’re healthy and ready. You can apply at:
