Wow what a month! Sissy and her puppies have had so much fun in their foster home with Stephanie and Franck and their adorable boys. Less than 2 weeks ago, the family said goodbye to their 7 babies. Bittersweet for sure....this wonderful family fostered Sissy and her puppies for the past several weeks. Believe it or not, this was their first foster experience and it was quite a learning experience! Poor Sissy has had some medical issues (skin infection, mastitis, etc.) and her puppies have been a handful! Stephanie and Franck have been absolutely wonderful throughout and we could not have asked for a more compassionate foster family.
Our friends at Wish Upon a Paw in Wisconsin (http://wishuponapaw.org/), have been complete angels as well! Our friends, Emily and Natalie, started WISH last May, although neither of them are strangers to rescue! WISH offered to take in 2 of the puppies right off the bat and find them homes (they ended up with 3 though..oops). Then...without hesitation, they agreed to "courtesy post" the rest of the litter (just to see what happens)! WOW...what craziness followed! Jaime, the Canine Adoption Coordinator, was inundated with applications for these babies! Some of you may remember...Jaime and Glen adopted 2 of our babies (now named Riley and Miles) who originally came from the Osceola Animal Shelter in Arkansas and we have been great friends ever since! Thankfully, Stephanie was an integral part in the adoption process. As a foster mom, no one knows these babies better than she does so her input and expertise was invaluable!
We cannot thank WISH and Stephanie and Franck enough for all their help with these cuties! ALL OF THESE BABIES ARE NOW OFFICIALLY ADOPTED!!! Stephanie and Franck have gratiously offered to foster Sissy as long as necessary (cross fingers it will be forever- lol- come on, we love foster failures!). We are slowly getting updates from the puppies' new families so we hope to post their happy tails soon!
