Dear Mandy,
Just for the short time I had the puppies here, I saw what havoc they
wreaked in my house! The shelter took them in to the vet today and they are
very healthy and they got their first shots and were wormed. Today one of
the shelter workers came across a guy putting a sign up at the store
offering "free puppies" so she asked him about it and I am appalled by this
but he told her the puppies were "already" 10 days old and he was trying to
place them now! The shelter worker told him they were WAY too young to be
away from their mother so then he said, oh well, then we'll wait another
week or two! Can you believe this? Happy ending, though. She enlightened
him about how long the puppies should be with their mother, she got his
name, address and phone number, he agreed he will keep them until the
puppies are at least 8 weeks old and then the shelter will take the puppies
(6 of them) and Adopt-A-Pet will spay the mother. I guess I'm just shocked
at how ignorant people can be. Those poor puppies could have died being
given away so early.
