Meg's Pups - Week Three

Well there was a BIG difference in the little pups this week when we went for a visit. Momma Meg is taking such amazing care of her brood. Not only was she great once again about us coming into her space at her foster home, but the little ones are fat, healthy and have wonderfully shiny coats. There are two little girls, who happen to be the biggest at the moment, and five little men in the group.

Once again we cannot thank Karen enough for providing the foster home that Meg needs while she cares for her pups. A few, as you can see, are trying to stand up which doesn't last long but is fun to watch. Just about all of their eyes are open and a few of them have their ears starting to stand up. Momma Meg was too busy getting lots of attention from our Animal Care Manager Nadine while we were there to get her picture taken, but she is looking as good as the little ones.

It is not only puppy season but it is also of course kitten season. We often have a lot of kittens coming in at this time of the year, sometimes with their mothers and sometimes without. Foster homes are desperately needed so that these wee ones have the time to grow before finding their forever home. 

Foster friends are given everything they need to care for these very helpless creatures. Food, litter, toys, blankets, and an animal care team at the shelter that are there to support them each step of the way.

Not everyone has the lifestyle that will allow them to adopt a pet, but if you have an interest and you have time fostering is a good alternative and a much needed resource to the shelter. We could NOT do what we do or save the number of animals we do without our foster friends. Learn more by visiting out main site at www.brantcountyspca.com or give us a call at 519.756.6620.

**** Wait! We cannot forget to tell you that because of our last story Byron was adopted. His new owners drove all the way from Guelph after reading about him through a Facebook post that had been shared by a friend.****
