My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Date of Birth November 14, 2023

***NOTHING LINES UP ON THIS LITTER and we are guessing at BEST - What we are sure of is their temperament and they are 100% SWEET & TRUSTING***

Those of us in rescue have animals that hurt our heart on a deep soul level...such is the story of Joplin and her brothers Ozzy and Hendrix. These puppies were being given away for FREE on Facebook the beginning of the year and a board member reached out to owner to bring into our care. Thank goodness she did. The post said the pups are Lab/Pitty mix and 10 weeks old. Upon arriving to the rescue they looked very sickly and 6-7 weeks at best. Our hearts all dropped as these three babies were nonengaged with their vacant little stares. We quickly weighed them and they were between 3-5 pounds with rotund worm bellies.

Sick babies...off to the vet they go and all begin immediate treatment. Vet ages them at {7} weeks based on teeth but breed sure doesn't line up with their size as a {7} week old Lab/Pitty pup should weigh anywhere from 10-15 pounds...and they are 3.25 to 5. Joplin is the smallest of the three and just the sweetest little girl. She is cuddly and trusting - and makes me cry to think if we hadn't rescued these pups when we did - I really don't think they would be alive today - one week later.

Joplin is sterilized and up to date on her vaccines/deworming/flea preventative. I promise you a darn near perfect pup in this special little one.

NOTE: Janice was 6.2 pounds at time of sterilization (1/18/2024) - DNA test run 1/19/2024 and we are anxiously awaiting results
