Two of the Katy 34 get a home together!!
In January, we were called in by a church group in Katy. One of their members had suffered a heart attack and would be hospitalized for quite a while. She was a breeder of shih tzu and there were 34 little dogs at her home with no one to care for them. The church people were avid animal lovers and were begging for help.
We were already overwhelmed - dogs coming in from everywhere - but as I thought about the situation, I couldn't in good conscious turn these people down. I went over just to look and inventory the dogs so I could formulate a plan. When I got there, I could see that the dogs were all living outdoors underneath a shed and there were several with injuries. And there were a new litter of puppies.
Our LSSTLAR foster parents rallied! We were able to take in all of the dogs and got them into good foster homes. It took us quite a while to get them all vetted for two reasons - funding, of course, and also the time to get them through the vetting process.
Above are two of the little dogs that are now adopted. These two will be Socks and Sophie and will live together with their sister Maggie. Lucky little dogs.
Here is a LINK to the original story about these babies. We cannot do things like this without our wonderful, generous supporters and our compassionate volunteers!!
