We are not sure of their mix, at first we thought they were German Shepherd mixes, thus the German names! But some seem to have black mouth cur in them, Shatzi is all tan with a black muzzle, and sweet Eva looks like she has some heeler in her. We do know that the puppies are a delight— they have been having a grand time playing together at the rescue and then snuggling in a big puppy pile to nap. All the girls have all been spayed and given their vaccines and are ready for loving homes. They are around 35 pounds, they were born in mid October. They are friendly and loving and will make great family dogs. Wags is a struggling 501(c) 3 where one woman in rural Mississippi takes care of about 150 homeless and stray dogs.
