We are not spreading their poop during the 2 week quarantine period. They have been treated with big time meds, but all sorts of nastiness was in those poops. Don't want it in my yard, or near my own dog.

These pups (as most of the rescues we get at WTAR) would not be alive if not rescued. They come from rural Mississippi where they don't treat their animals very well. They don't spay or neuter nor do they see a vet. Litter after litter are just dumped to fend on their own. Alot get hit by cars, eaten by coyotes or end up in a kill shelter if they don't get rescued. My two pups, at age 4 weeks old when they were rescued, were so flea infested they had infected sores, and they had every kind of worm you can think of. Poor little things only weighed a few pounds. We are working on healing up the wounds and fattening them up. My main job is to just keep them alive for the next few weeks. When they are strong enough they will be spayed or neutered. We'll also get them mostly housebroken, crate broken and socialized.

The picture of the 14 pups I posted earlier lived in a dilapidated back yard and only had a bucket of dirty green water with a few pieces of dog food floating in it to eat. Our Mississippi partner goes to these places and talks people into releasing their pups to her so that they can go have the good life in Virginia. Most of these MS pups have never been inside a house before.
