Video: Rescue wanted to create a tranquil home for an anxious mother dog and her puppies.

Meet Mindi A165787 she is a one year German Shepherd Mix. She came to us full term pregnant on 7/7/23, four days later she gave birth to 7 puppies and 1 passed away. The shelter is not a great environment for any dog but especially a mom nursing her babies. We have her in her own room, but this is not enough. The shelter is stressful and loud. Her babies are prone to so many diseases as their immune system is comprised for being so young. Mom is stressing and she has become protective of her little ones.. but what mom wouldn't? She does amazing when she away from them. She will let us clean her room and feed her, but she does best if we don't grab her babies while she is with them. The staff is trained and will go and sweet talk to her and put a leash on her to tell her that it is potty break time, she really enjoys her breaks and the one on one she receives from the staff. She loves treats. She does have an upset tummy from all the stress and we have started her on some meds, good quality food and she is adjusting well.

We need your help!! We do not want to lose this family. She is in need of an experienced foster or rescue. She is needing a quiet space in a home where she can relax and take care of her babies. Mom does all the work you just need to provide a clean, quiet environment and some mommy loving.
