Not sure if this is the correct group to start this in...but here goes:

If you know anyone in Houston who is looking for a puppy, then I got them!!

Mother is Australian Cattle Dog (small) and was picked up by Animal Control on Saturday. They had been living in an abandoned, burned down house. If no owner claimed them, they would be put down after 3 days. I called, and no owner had claimed them, so I went and picked them up.

There are 9 puppies, and they all are healthy looking and moving around. I have no idea what the dad is. Possibly choc lab, as there is a male that runs around in the neighborhood. (See thread about long dog-napping story! I have a history with dogs...some weakness in me that I have a soft spot for animals over people.)

The mother was given rabies shots at Animal Control. She has an old, weathered collar around her neck - so at some point she belonged to someone. I put pads down in my kitchen and over the night she used them, so she is trained or very smart. Or both. She lets me pick up the puppies, and put them back. I sat in the front of the cage for a while, and she just watches. She's timid and scared, but not aggressive.

I am trying to find a home for all of them, mother included. The puppies are only about one week old, so when they are ready, they can go to a good home.

Thanks...and if this is the wrong place, then Mods, please move to correct location.

That's a wonderful thing for you to do. You have such a big heart. God bless you.

My soft spot has always been children and animals (not always in that order, some kids are just evil lil shits ROFL) I used to foster cats and dogs (mainly mommy's with pups/kittens like you are doing now) I paid out of pocket many times to have full litters spayed and neutered before they were adopted out. I miss doing that but I have a house full of pets as it is right now, one being a special needs dog (he loves other dogs but we don't trust him around them long term). So right now I am concentrating on my pets and family.

Good on ya !! I am glad people step up like you are doing.
