Dark Moon Puppy Project has a new puppy family. This Red Momma was taken in by Adopt a Rescue Pet of Southern Nevada. She was wormed and vaccinated for what was likely the first time in her life. A few weeks later...Puppies!
The pups were just a few days old when we picked her up from her previous foster home. Momma was very worried, but she has shown herself willing to trust us. She spent the first week or so in the puppy kennel with brief trips outside to use the toilet. The pups are just old enough that the very edges of their eyes are opening now. They are very gentle and passive compared to the orphan pups from our previous litters.
All three pups are male, and each has a different color pattern.
They have been handled daily using our program of early development.
and as you can see Momma has been keeping them fat and healthy!
Momma has been here almost two weeks now and she is showing more interest in exploring, playing with the humans and meeting the other dogs here. Today she is sharing the computer room with me, asking for attention every few minutes and then returning to the pups. For a dog with little socialization she is doing very well!
