Benny and Nate went home TOGETHER!!
This super loving family said over and over…after what they went through they could not seperate these survivors! It took about 3 hours and lots of talks about moving forward.
They have very pup loving kids that are respectful and kind to 2 fun puppies.
It was a sweet goodbye.
These boys stole our hearts so we understand how a family will give them what they deserve.
Thank you!
We could not be happier that these boys are in a home full of love and support!
Merry Christmas Baby Boys!
We look forward to the updates!
Enjoy a Wonderful Life baby boys!
You truly got your Christmas wish with this family!

Away in a manger…
No foster available to give her a bed
Pretty Sophie lays down her sweet head.
The stars in the sky look down where she lay.
We pray she can give birth the natural way!
She was an hour from Death when we saw her sweet face.
Along with sweet Sophie came a girth with great space!

She is a super sweet hormonal Mom very ready to deliver. We just weren’t prepared and she is stuck at the shelter!
