Not the desperate housewives yet
The HSSC currently has five wonderful dogs in our shelter that are looking for homes. (Please don’t take that the wrong way – all of their dogs are wonderful and they are all looking for new homes.) What makes these five dogs so special? They all are recent moms brought to our shelter with their five litters of puppies.
Five nursing moms were surrendered to the HSSC with a total of 26 puppies who all needed homes. One owner was moving and couldn’t take Hazelnut and her five puppies with them. Missy was surrendered with her nine puppies because they couldn’t afford their care. Black Jack and her seven puppies were surrendered because it was too many animals to care for. Sheena and her three were also surrendered because of having too many animals. And last but not least is Mama Mia, who came in with her two puppies that were actually trying to nurse on her as their owner walked them in the Receiving Department. Her owner could also not afford to care for her and her pups.
The good news is all of the puppies have found new homes. Twenty five homes – one wonderful adopter gave a home to two of Missy’s puppies. Fantastic! All of these amazing people opened up their hearts and their homes to these adorable babies.
The sad news is Sheena, Black Jack, Missy, Hazelnut and Mama Mia are still hoping for their special families to come through the Adoption Department door. Until that time comes our wonderful staff and very dedicated volunteers will spend time with each of the ladies every day. They will take them for walks, play fetch with them, feed them and clean their kennels, make sure they have a nice blanket or doggie bed to sleep on and they will give each dog lots and lots of love. These caring people will give them everything they can so these dogs will be ready for you to adopt each of them.
The rest is up to you. The girls aren’t “Desperate Housewives” yet, but are really hoping to be able to sleep in a loving home every night and wake up each morning to the same smiling and caring face. What do you think? Are you the one for Sheena? How about Black Jack? Missy or Hazelnut? And then there is always Mama Mia!
Please come by and ask to meet the ladies! We are located at 2331 15th Street in Sarasota. You can call 955-4131 if you have more questions.
