Orphan pups

Two little tiny litters were found in the wooded area of the reservation during the recent Mn Snap clinic.

One litter of 4 tiny husky sheps were about 2 weeks old and thankfully we had lots of help to bottle them every 2 hours and keep them healthy until the clinic was over--but then what?

Caring for orphan bottle pups and kittens is a full time job and the Red Lake Rosie's shelter does not have the manpower to provide optimum care for the orphans.

Well, Second Hand Hounds volunteers were at the clinic and they took full charge of the pups and got them safely to the metro to foster care.

A second tiny litter of 4 pups were found in another area of the reservation in a wooded area but they were a little older and able to lap milk and eat soft foods. This litter was taken by Animal Ark into the care of Linda as their foster mom.

We are so happy we have foster homes and rescues willing to take these bottle babies into their care.
