Story
Rocky fka Squirrel (female) blue eyed Bottle Baby
Delta Dawn’s Valentine Litter
Born: February 12, 2026
Breed DNA on sibling shows 63% Border Collie; 14% American Staffordshire; 12% Great Pyrenees; 12% Mastiff, but it could be different for each pup (father unknown, but judging from her look he may have been a Shepherd or Malinois)
On February 12, 2026, Delta Dawn delivered 11 beautiful puppies by emergency C-section.
Their start in life has been anything but typical.
Shortly after surgery, Delta suffered severe medical complications that required additional surgery and intensive emergency care. During her hospitalization and recovery, she became critically ill and had to be transferred for advanced treatment. Because of this, her puppies were never able to nurse or bond with their mother. They have been bottle-fed since day one and lovingly raised by humans around the clock.
While they are thriving, they did not have the benefit of learning early dog-to-dog communication from their mom, but have been getting instruction in their foster home. They have learned the word No, they come to their names and are starting to work on basic commands.
About the Puppies
• 11 pups with a wide variety of colors and markings
• Mom is a Am Staff & Border Collie
• Father is unknown —
• Personalities are beginning to emerge — playful, curious, affectionate
Squirrel is one of the larger pups from the litter ranking around third or fourth.
Given their unique start, these puppies would benefit greatly from a home with a stable, tolerant adult dog who can help teach them appropriate canine behavior and social skills. While they are well-socialized with people, having a confident older dog role model would give them an important advantage as they grow.
Only time will tell how large they will be or which traits will shine through — that is part of the beauty of a true rescue mix.
