💔 Sometimes rescue begins with heartbreak.
Please welcome our newest babies to Kathryn’s Precious Paw Rescue: Colonel, Dave, Cane, and Wendy. 🐾❤️
These four tiny puppies are only about 1½ to 2 weeks old and have already faced more tragedy than any baby ever should.
Their mama, a sweet Toy Poodle, escaped her yard months ago and came home pregnant. She gave birth to these precious little ones, but sadly passed away shortly afterward. We don’t know exactly what happened, but these babies were left without the one thing they needed most—their mother.
Wanting to help, the family fed them human baby food, not realizing newborn puppies require specialized formula to survive. By the time they reached us, they were fragile and in desperate need of around-the-clock care.
Thankfully, one of our amazing, experienced bottle-feeding fosters didn’t hesitate when we called. Even with a full plate and countless responsibilities, she simply said, “Yes, I’ll help them.”
Every two hours, day and night, she is feeding four hungry babies, stimulating them, cleaning them, weighing them, and watching over them like a mother would. It is exhausting, emotional, and incredibly time-consuming work.
Right now, we are especially worried about little Colonel (named after Colonel Sanders from KFC). He is struggling the most and is having difficulty digesting his formula. We are watching him very closely and praying he starts to improve.
Please keep Colonel, Dave, Cane, and Wendy in your thoughts and prayers. These tiny babies are fighting for their lives, and every ounce gained, every feeding completed, and every day survived is a victory.
We would also love to shower our incredible foster with gratitude. Without people like her, orphaned puppies like these would have no chance.
As you can imagine, bottle babies require a lot of supplies—formula, bottles, puppy food, heating pads, blankets, and veterinary care. If you would like to help these little nuggets on their journey, donations are greatly appreciated.
For now, please send prayers, positive thoughts, and lots of love to these four tiny souls. They have a long road ahead, but they are safe, they are loved, and they are finally getting the chance they deserve.
Welcome to rescue, little nuggets. We are all rooting for you. ❤️
Please send up prayers tonight for our sweet little Colonel🙏🏻❤️🐾
