June arrived in our care from Tennessee in mid-December.  She was found stray in a field, no one claimed her.

Upon examination, she was found to be underweight, pregnant and tested positive for heartworm. She was at serious risk in the shelter and we were asked to help.  We have always treated the dogs prior to coming to their foster homes, but this was not an option due to her advanced pregnancy. Given that it is winter and there is no risk of her passing heartworm into the mosquito population at this time of year, we were comfortable bringing her into rescue.

June gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies on Boxing Day, and sadly was rushed into emergency for a c-section to have a 6th puppy removed. Sadly that little one did not make it, despite the ER team’s best efforts. June was then take back into emergency when her incision started to open. The incision had to be re-opened, flushed and close a second time, and now appears to be healing properly. To say that she’s been through a lot in the past two weeks is an understatement. June has been a truly wonderful mom, and her puppies are thriving.

The puppies will start to accept applications around the 6 week mark (mid February) and can go home at 8 weeks of age.

June will remain with us until she completes her heartworm treatment and is cleared medically to be adopted.

We welcome everyone to follow June and her puppies on our socials for updates.
