Yippee!! All Four Puppies Are Out Of Cages!

The good news is that all the Devore Four puppies are in foster homes! YEAH!! And we couldn't have done it without all of your help. The power of networking is not to be underestimated!

Here's a picture of Bean at his new foster home ... isn't he a cutie?
Bean's new best friend is a kitten, Oreo is getting to know the foster's other dogs (Oreo never got sick, so it's OK for him to be around other dogs) and today, Mandy and Candy are back together again at the home of one of our Critters' volunteers.

I picked Mandy up first at the vet. She was a little hesitant but so glad to be out of ISO! Then I drove to the other vet to pick up Candy. Well, you should have seen Mandy perk up with she saw Candy! She became her old self almost immediately, which was my goal in putting them back together. She wanted out of her crate NOW, but the poor kid had to wait until we got to the foster home.

This first video was shot immediately after they were let loose--and boy, did they have a blast. Soon afterwards, Mandy and Candy discovered the bags of dog food I had brought, and they were digging at them, trying to open them. Mandy chowed down as if she hadn't eaten in days! I think she didn't eat much while at the vet, so it'll be gratifying to see her put on much needed weight!

Mandy & Candy, free at last!

Compare these videos to this one of a very sad Mandy taken a few days ago.


And here's a photo and video of little Oreo at his foster home.
Is he cute, or what?
Again, thank you all for networking for fosters for these four puppies. Without your help, we couldn't have done gotten these sweethearts out of their cages at the vet and into loving foster homes.

But the battle isn't over yet. The not-so-good news concerns the vet bills. We've gotten in some donations (and again, thank you to all of you who donated), but we still owe the two vets approximately $2,700 (down from $3,700). We need to pay them off quickly; the vets have been so kind to us and the little puppies.

Please donate via Paypal.

We're so grateful that all three puppies survived--and that little Oreo never got sick! Again, we couldn't have done it without all of you!
