These adorable puppies were part of an accidental litter and consequently, surrendered to an overcrowded municipal shelter in Georgia. Their mom was a labradoodle and dad was a German shorthaired pointer. They clearly took after their father, but a couple have a few hints of a curl in their coats!
While these puppies are incredibly cute and have amazing temperaments, their fate was uncertain before we took them into our care here at Animal Haven. They were originally surrendered to a shelter that is forced to euthanize for space when at capacity. While puppies are usually lower on the list for such terrible outcomes, the harsh reality is that they are not exempt. Let's face it, these puppies ended up in the shelter system because their owners did not get their own animals spayed and neutered.
Overpopulation is not just a local issue, and shelters across the country are stretched beyond capacity. It is not caused by one thing, but many factors that are all interconnected. Lack of spay neuter, lack of accessible vet care, lack of funding, lack of education, lack of legislation, lack of enforcement of existing legislation - the list goes on and on. Shelters are in a crisis like never before. Something needs to change, or even puppies like these will continue to have uncertain futures.
But these pups are some of the lucky ones and they are safe at Animal Haven. And by taking them, it means another dog is safe because their kennel is now available.
Bree, Gabrielle, Susan, Lynette, and Pool Boy are 2 months old and available for adoption at Animal Haven. Visit them during our adoption hours:
Tuesday-Friday: 1-7pm
Sunday: 12-4pm
Adoption saves more than one life. When pets are adopted, their space becomes available for another in need. ADOPT!
