 Flame was an unexpected addition that came into rescue after being discovered in a field near the garbage dump out by Swan Lake. She and her sisters sat in a farmer's field, while the field around them was being burned. These little girls were very lucky they were discovered by a kind citizen before they met a very unfortunate end. They were rescued through clouds of smoke and fire, and brought to safety in rescue. After asking around town, we learned these babes had been abandoned in the field about a week earlier, by someone who simply didn't want them anymore. These little girls have had a rough start - the field they were dumped in was next to a garbage dump, and the girls were surviving off garbage. As a result, their tummies have had some trouble adjusting to eating good food - so they have been eating a gastro formula. After a month or two on this diet, they should be able to switch to a normal dog food. After only a short time in rescue, Flame is completely housebroken and is crate training really well! She has mastered walking on leash and is comfortable going for car rides and interacting with people. She does take a little longer to warm up to children, as they move a little more quickly - but she does warm up once they sit quietly. Flame is very fond of the dog park and loves going out for walks. She enjoys spending time in the yard playing and seems to have a fondness for sticks she finds outside! This little girl is absolutely adorable and she is now looking for her own forever family.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: When the puppies arrived, they were examined by a veterinarian and determined to be around three months of age. After a month of getting healthy in rescue, the pups headed down for a booster shot and an examination. We were shocked to learn that these puppies were actually six months of age, not four as we had believed at this time. Because of their rough beginning and poor nutrition, the growth of these puppies was stunted and they will not be big dogs at all!
