Alberta Lost Pet Locator and Rescue Society Rescues for Adoption contacted me just over a week ago to see if I could take some photos of their puppies. I was honored and couldn’t wait to get started.
When momma (Tiva her name means dance) showed up with her babies the studio was alive. Each one had a unique personality. I fell in love right away with this little girl. She loves to pose with attitude expression on her face. Refereed to her as a photographers dog. The other that stole my heart was the big boy. He was so content and passive. The cuddles were wonderful.
Please go to their page give it a like and if you or anyone you know is looking at adopting a fur baby send them a massage. We adopted our Tazzy for Marie.
“Mom was found at a reserve very malnourished with 10 babies, but 2 had died already. She was skin and bones and not producing milk. Two others look very close to dying as well.
ASNTF contacted me and asked if I had room. I took her and posted for a foster. I met a transfer driver that night and brought her to my clean room where my boyfriend”s daughter and I started cleaning and feeding.
I made Billy-Jo’s best gruel for sick pups and momma inhaled it. Babies struggled at first on bottles but with patience they learned. They were just over two weeks old.
Mom was given a vaccine and they were all treated for bugs and worms just in case. My daughter stayed by their side for the next 24 hours feeding every 2 hours. They started doing great.
Then we went to Tina’s home to get them set up and ready for the new adventure. Tina gave them fresh milk from her Jersey cow to help mom and make sure she didn’t get milk fever. She also gave her more gruel and kibble.
Mom soon learned how loving Tina was and that she didn’t have to fight for food. Day by day they all got stronger.
Moms milk production started within 24 hours of us feeding her and everyone started growing. Now they are doing great, happy and loving life.
Mom has gained 10 lbs even though she’s nursing 8 babies!!! It’s so rewarding to see them grow and do so well.”
