What’s happening behind the webcam?
If you’ve been watching our PuppyCam,
then you’ve gotten an up-close and personal view of our Momma Dorey and her
five sweet puppies! But what’s going on that you CAN’T see?
Our sweet family is living in the
office at our director’s house! Dorey has a large maternity suite set up where
she has all the comforts she needs: food, water, toys, and even a separate bed
to hang out in if she needs a break from the puppies.
Each day, the puppies are examined for
any obvious problems or concerns, and then they are weighed! What matters right
now is that they are gaining weight – any amount of weight. We want to see
daily gains, so that we know that each puppy is nursing and getting enough!
Right now, our job is to make sure that
Dorey is healthy and happy. She’s living full time with her puppies in a quiet
space so that she’s stress-free. We let her out to potty often, and we spend
quite a bit of time with her in the nursery, but she’s not interacting with the
resident dogs or accepting visitors.
Dorey is being fed as much as she wants
to eat. She needs to keep up her energy levels to nurse five babies! She has
constant access to puppy kibble, and she’s also being supplemented with canned
puppy food and high protein/higher fat foods. Her favorite is a custom omelet
comprised of one scrambled egg, shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, and a hot dog!
Keep watching our puppycam and our
social media feeds for updates on this adorable little family. You can always
find our puppycam streaming on our YouTube channel

the puppies grow!
Puppies are fun and
exciting and watching them is so much fun, but we in no way want to glamorize
pregnant dogs, breeding, or litters of puppies. We are so grateful that we
happened to save Dorey, whose pregnancy was a surprise. But for every Dorey,
countless other dogs aren’t rescued. Countless other mothers are having
countless other puppies, and those puppies are ending up in shelters, on the
streets, breeding and making more puppies, and so on.
Please. Spay and Neuter.
