MAMA SURI

BREED: Lab Mix
SEX: F
BACKGROUND: Suri was a very scared mama, handling life on her own. She was found by the graveyard with her puppy Scout. Animal Control was able to first get Scout. They found 3 other puppies that had passed. One of their attempts to catch Mama ended up catching another pup, Inky. And, FINALLY, Mama and one remaining pup, Gravy, got into a Good Samaritan's car who stopped for them. Because Mama wanted to meet the pup the Good Samaritan had with her, she was able to get them and notify Animal Control. We took them under rescue. Mama and 3 puppies are now safe.
NEEDS: Suri finished nursing her babies and her little ones have found loving homes. Now Suri needs a loving home to show her a safe life that's not on the streets.
HEALTH ISSUES: She is in good health and is ready for stability, security, and love.

Meet Calypso
& Her 9 Puppies!
MAMA CALYPSO & HER 9 PUPPIES: OCEAN'S 9!
AGE: Approximately 2 years old
Puppies born July 17
BREED: Shepherd Mix
SEX: F
Puppies: 7 boys, 2 girls
​
BACKGROUND: Please welcome Calypso and the Ocean's 9 to FBAR-NC!!! We'd like to officially introduce Calypso and her NINE babies!!!
This girl was a trooper for sure. Started out delivering in the shelter, then another in the car during transport under the watchful eye of her foster, then the rest at the foster's home!! What a journey for this mama and her little.... not so little.... family!!
​
We were asked to assist sweet, pregnant Calypso at the shelter. But before our transporter could get there, she went into active labor. Our AMAZING foster, Taylor, and one of our FABULOUS volunteers/Board members, Tammy, drove up to get her to assure a safe transport if she continued to deliver before the shelter closed. We didn't want Mama and babies to stay in the shelter any longer than necessary.
Thank you to EVERYONE who has donated to date to help us give Calypso and her babies everything they need to keep them growing and healthy!!! We are truly grateful! We will continue to be in desperate need of dog food for Mama while she nurses and then, puppy food once the puppies begin to transition. We'll post our updated Amazon WishList if you would be willing to help this sweet family!!!
​
UPDATE: Everyone is doing great! Calypso has been the absolute best mama, taking such amazing care of her 9 little babies. They’re growing every day and spending most of their time nursing, snuggling, and snoozing.
NEEDS: Nursing, patience, weaning, playfulness, lots of love.
HEALTH ISSUES: Healthy babies. Mama will be vetted.
