PUPDATE 11-06-2015: If there was an award for the 2nd most stunning puppy we have ever brought in-- I would give it our precious Raine as her brother Indigo wins 1st. Raine is channeling her Boxer side more than her brother and is a bit more bouncy. Like Indigo she is very food motivated and so trainable. I can totally see Raine going into a good working agility home. She will grow to be around 60lbs and with the nicest temperament. She deserves only the bestest most loving family especially with how scary her start in life was. New photos in her Facebook album. I LOVE this little girl.
PUPDATE 10-09-2015: The puppies are doing AMAZING!!! They just had their 2nd puppy vaccination and our vet was so complimentary of how healthy they all are. Seriously this is probably my favorite litter of the 7 we saved this year. I am partial to bully mixes as I've had a bully/pointer as my BFF the past 13+ years. Like my Buckwheat-- these babies are going to grow up to be loyal, loving affectionate dogs and also like my sweetie-- they will probably bark at passersby out the front window. I can't get over how beautiful their confirmation is and how gorgeous their coats are. Their gums are nice and pink showing a healthy blood flow and as long as we find open minded foster to adopt homes-- these puppies are going to live long and healthy lives-- just like my baby.
Raine is such a sweetheart. She is so friendly and affectionate. She is going to be such a great companion with the right family. She already loves kids and she also loves to play. The best home would have a secure fenced in yard and couch privileges. She has already done well with leash training too.
PUPDATE 9-12-2015: The puppies went to their first official meet and greet and were AMAZING!! They are kid magnets and LOVE LOVE LOVE to be held and snuggled. I was nearly in tears the whole time at the event-- seeing our precious babies doing so well. Here is their Facebook Paw on the Path Album.
Raine is getting so big-- what a sweet sweet puppy!!
PUPDATE 9-1-2015: The puppies had their first vet exam and vaccination and they are doing very well- nice strong hearts and growing like weeds.

RAINBOWS VIDEO
We heard about Rainbow and her 7 puppies in early late June. They were in danger of being put to sleep in an over crowded shelter near Birmingham, Alabama. By the time a care taker was found for them- 3 of the puppies had died. Rainbow was emaciated full of heartworms and other intestinal parasites, suffering from mange and we are sure several tick borne diseases. As soon as she started on antibiotics her nursing puppies started to get stronger. Sadly they are also going to be infected and some are also dealing with the immuno compromising mange- but are also doing so much better now that they are taking oral meds as well.
We know that Rainbow has had a round life. She is timid, and as she does not play with her puppies, must have had a very sad and scary puppyhood. She is very trusting of her new foster mom and in time and with a lot of TLC- she will learn that there are more kind people out there then evil ones. We need a loving caring patient foster or foster to adopt family for her as she is currently in our heartworm slow kill treatment program. Our dogs do so much better with this treatment plan which just consists of twice a month heartguard and antibiotics to weaken the adult worms and also to treat the tick borne infections. With her immune system getting stronger- her mange is slowly clearing up. When you look at her videos- you can see the sadness in her eyes but we hope to get her smiling soon.
