Jennifer- readers digest version- I was emailed a pic of mom and dad- they were at a kill shelter. I tried and tried to get a rescue to go and get them. No luck- Jane ( Marypyrs started working on it as well) No one knew the female was pregnant, she gave birth to 11 in the shelter. We had 24 hours to get them out. I took off a day from work and drove 6 hours round trip.I couldnt leave dad, he would have been euthd that day had I left him, so I brought him home too. I have lost 5 of the babies in the first 8 days to illness. The remaining 6 were on antibiotics and breathing treatments and they are doing well now. Can I interest you in a puppy now? Or a lovely male and female who are very bonded. It was thru Jane who is a part of the Minnesota Pyr rescue that I was able to get these guys out.
Oh as a side note- when one of the local Pyr Rescues discovered that they were full blooded Pyrs, they decided that they then wanted then and that it was my duty to give them to them. I have since started the paper work to become a non profit Pyr rescue.
