Babies On Board

We have some exciting new additions to Noah's Ark that have joined us since Friday.  We were finally able to arrange for a foster for Heidi.  One of our fabulous vet clinics, South Franklin Animal Hospital, will be fostering Heidi in clinic as she prepares to have her babies.  The puppies are due this week, and from xrays, we anticipate a litter of 2 to 3 little ones.  Heidi's story is quickly going from very sad to very happy.  She was found huddled behind a dumpster at the back of a Dollar General store in rural West TN.  The signs of neglect were obvious, from emaciation to flea and tick infestation.  A caring citizen in the area took her in and helped her on her way back to health over the past month while she waited on an opportunity to come to Noah's Ark Society.  That opportunity finally presented itself, and Heidi got a ride yesterday to join us.  We are very excited for puppy breath in the next few days, and also excited that our momma dog, Heidi will get the love and nurturing she needs while she takes care of the babies.  She is accepting adoption applications for once the puppies are weaned, and she will be spayed at that time as well so she won't have to go through pregnancy again.  As soon as the puppies are born we will take applications for them as well.

Momma Dog, Heidi:




We also have new puppies in our family, and on their way to new families.  Franklin went to his new family last week.  Millie, has multiple applications in and will be meeting her new family this week.   Miracle is still waiting on the right family to find her, and Pepper, a 5 week old Chihuahua has just entered our program.
