Story
Momma was found in a crate with another dog on the side of the road in Wilkes Barre last May. My fiancé had called me from work and said he was bringing them home because of the poor conditions they were in. After emergency vet care we found out that Momma was having a litter of puppies and was used just to breed. In August of 2024 we welcomed 9 beautiful puppies(which brought our total of dogs to 13) We were able to rehome every puppy and the other dog that was in the crate with momma. My fiancé and I decided we were going to work with Momma so we were able to keep her. In May my fiancé was arrested and has been in jail since. I work 12 hours a day and it's unfair that she's locked in a cage 13 hours a day. I have made the decision based on her best interest to give her to someone who has more time on their hands and can afford her. Moneys tight at the moment and I just want the best life for her after the horrible life she has lived since birth according to the vet.
