Dog(s) of the Week

...Well, not really. Showcasing a homeless dog every week would take a more organized mind than mine. But Fe the Cinderella Dog had such a happy outcome, I couldn't help but give it another try.

This family of mamma and four pups apparently started out in a human habitat, because they gravitate toward people. George, who's fostering them, surmises they got to be too much for the owners and so were all dumped together at Pilar, a condo complex, probably in hopes that the mom would be able to care for them until someone rescued them. Which is exactly what happened.

Mama has a gorgeous coat, with Dalmatian-style grey spots overlaid with white, and soulful amber eyes. George thinks she's only a pup herself and this is her first litter. She's very mind-mannered, just a little shy, and awfully skinny though she seems to be filling out now.

The pups are twin black males with grey and white "socks," a spotted grey female (already spoken for), and an espresso-brown female with a white bow on her shoulder, very chic.

They're big enough to wean, but George promises they'll be wormed, bathed and started on their shots before giving them away. I have his email and phone number, if one of these dogs is calling your name.
