While in foster care, 9 of the 10 puppies (1 adopted prior to illness and never succumbed to the virus) were diagnosed with parvo. If you are unfamiliar with this, I urge you to research it. Most parvo puppies either die from the virus, or are put to sleep due to high hospitalization costs at the vet. The foster chose to attempt home treatment and all 9 pups made a miraculous recovery. Check out the video documentary of the care they received. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqP8YNscayc
Belle is a little firecracker! She loves to play all the time, & especially loves squeaky toys!
Her mom (Sadie) was found at 8 months old with a younger male companion. Sadie was already pregnant and about to deliver when turned in to AARF Houston. Sadie is a beautiful girl we believe that she is Shepherd/Hound mix, but she is young and it is difficult to tell.
Due to complications, Sadie had to have an emergency c-section. One puppy did not make it, but the other 10, & mama, are doing well!

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.
It is against the law in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
