Feast your eyes on this darling litter of 11 this fall!  The "Leaf" litter is perfect example of all the various colors of foliage on the trees this autumn season!   The pups were born in rescue on September 27th and have been expertly raised by their Momma (Autumn Leaf - also available for adoption and photo included for reference) and all in the same foster home!   The 3 girls and 8 boys are now 9 weeks old, weigh between 9-11lbs and are ready to spend a calorie-free Thanksgiving with your family.  Every color, coat type and personality are represented and you'll be flipping a coin to choose your favorite because each is wonderful! They have been in foster with other dogs and even the fosters' resident cat!  We recommend training for all our dogs!     **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived into rescue without either parent. **Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance.
