Our time at the Shelter...

While we were in the Devore Shelter, we didn't have the best life.  I had my one week old puppies in a large swimming pool, and I kept them as happy and warm as possible.  People walked by me in strange uniforms and cleaned out our kennels from time to time.  It's pretty horrific to be a momma dog with babies in a loud noisy cage.

I made sure to give kisses to all those passing by... I had hopes that our rescue would come so that I could leave this place they call the Devore Death Camp along with my babies.  There are so many dogs there and so many smells that are not so friendly.  I was very scared to see the dogs taking the walk and never returning.  That is a road I did not want to go down.  So I continued charming those passing by, and it is so hard to impress people when you've got six puppies to take care of!  Finally, when my time was almost up, someone came to save us!  A rescue had came through...

When I first left my kennel I was so terrified I peed on the floor... I am actually quite embarrassed by it.  My rescue crew did not seem to mind that I was afraid, which made me feel better.  I was concerned that my babies weren't taken out with me, but I heard the humans saying that they were getting pulled with me.  I did not really understand that word, but I'm assuming that meant we were being saved!

On my way out of the shelter, they told us we had to go to another boarding place.  The ladies who saved me loved and hugged us all and told me it would all be ok.  We went to a vet clinic from the shelter and spent the night there.  It was alot nicer of a place but it still was not a home.  I just don't understand what I did to ever end up in a place such as a shelter. 

The people at the General Dog and Cat Hospital place were very kind to us.  They gave us a warm comfy area to sleep in and the night was long, but much less noisy compared to the other place... I can only hope for a brighter future than this... more to come soon!

Love,
