Puppy Spam

After a brief hiatus to deal with the height of kitten season at the clinic, we are back to placing puppies at an alarming rate.

We got four pups in late last week. They are about 12 weeks old. They look a little lab/vizsla/golden-y, but who knows. Three girls and a boy. The littlest one was very shy when they first arrived, but she's getting friendlier by the day.





There was another litter of four just before that. Two of them got adopted before I even met them. The two remaining are a little girl named Clementine and a little boy named Star.

And, just when we declared the farm 'full', we got a desperate call from PR about four tiny, tiny pups that had been dumped in a box outside the vet clinic. They were very small and very weak and they were worried they wouldn't make it. Of course they came in too. I think they may be pibbles! They're only five weeks old so it will be a while before they're ready to be adopted out, but I took pictures of them anyway.





And, of course, there's still Cano, the adult male that was found living at a gas station. He's probably lab/corgi or something similar. He's sweet, obedient, and good with people and animals, but as an adult, he's going to take a little longer to place.

The shy girl.







This one can come home with me.

  2. Puppies!

    For what it is worth, I think the young pups have too long of fur to be actual pit bulls. They may very well be something like a pit/lab (or something else with hair) mix though.

    1. I certainly didn't think they were ALL one breed (pit or otherwise).

  4. Love the lab corgi!

    The trick is to make up a designer dog breed name.

  5. Ahh so much puppy want! My Vizsla is a year now .. that's long enough to wait for your second, right?! I don't think those first babies have too much Vizzy in them! Are they common where you are? It would be SHOCKING for a Vizzy mix to turn up here ..there's only 3 on the island& all are spayed LOL!

    1. These pups are from Puerto Rico, not anywhere near where I am. I don't know if they're common down there or not, but we had a littler of half vizslas earlier this year, so it's not unheard of. A lot of the pups we rescue come from tourists who bring their unfixed pets with them on vacation, so it's not necessarily dogs who live on the island so much as dog breeds that visit the island. We see a LOT of lab mixes and a lot of chihuahua mixes, mostly.
