 Smoke 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. Smoke is a delightful girl to have around. Despite her rough beginning, she is already sleeping in her kennel at night without complaint, and she is completely housebroken! Smoke even asks to go outside in the morning! Smoke is shy when she meets new people, but she warms up very quickly. She mixes well with the other dogs and the cats in her foster home, and she is learning about sharing and playing nice with her canine foster brothers and sisters. Smoke is eager to plase and she gets upset when voices are raised. This gal is coming along with her leash training, and she is really catching onto new things quickly! Smoke is still going through puppy stages of chewing, but she is learning very quickly what she can and can not chew. This baby girl is ready to find her forever home!

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!
