Hello again, Eskie lovers!
Jim and I are back in action on a part time basis much sooner than we ever thought we would be!
In June, we helped 46 dogs find their way out of a puppy mill and into loving homes. Each of those dogs had medical issues and were living in poor conditions. With your donations and auction purchases, we were able to take care of the veterinary bills generated by this huge endeavor. Meanwhile, the State of Nebraska placed limitations on the proprietor of the puppy mill: No more than 3 dogs over 12 weeks of age, ever. Her USDA kennel license would never again be renewed.
However, in mid-November, Jim received a call from the mill. She had exceeded this limitation, and the courts sentenced her to surrender all her dogs within a certain, short, time period. She is now barred from owning another dog for the next FOUR years.
Of course, Jim said we would take the Eskies she had to surrender. One male, one nursing mother, and one very pregnant mother - all tiny toys under 12 pounds! Just beautiful and sprightly, but very wary and in need of bathing, brushing, and basic health care.Fortunately, these Eskies are all under 3 years old! The male went down to Kansas City to stay with our good friend Laurel and the KC Heart Bandits. We know he's in good hands!
Our two mothers, Sissie and Elsie, are doing well. Elsie actually gave birth to her first pup in the car on the way from the mill to Lincoln. That puppy, who Jim named Joey, passed over the Bridge two days after arriving home with Jim. We're not sure what the cause was, but he was about half the size of his littermates and could have had a cleft pallette. Joey is with Jim's angel girl Chelsea, and we know she's taking good care of him! Sissie has three female puppies, and Elsie has two females. They are all absolutely darling!
Enjoy the pictures below, and please fill out an adoption application if you are interested in adopting one of the mothers, or one of the four puppies waiting for homes.

A puppy pile! These are Sissie's girls, just three weeks old.
Three weeks old, Sissie's pups are just too cute! They will be very petite; mom is just 12 pounds!
