Mangy Pups need your help!

I just got this plea from my fellow Dogbuster, Kristen in CT.... Help?

As you may have already heard, Jeff did an emergency mini transport last weekend of 16 pups out of Waveland, with a straight drive through to Connecticut. 7 pups and a momma and poppa have sarcoptic mange and were scheduled to be euthanized if not removed and fostered. Well, the 7 pups, momma and poppa are now at our home (in a kennel set up in our garage!) being treated and nursed back to health. The mom is in really bad shape, but we are hopeful all will make it through with flying colors. They are being treated for the mange, worms, malnourishment and heartworm (mom & dad) - other ailments still to be determined!. Once they are non-contagious and well we need to find them foster and adoptive homes, as this current responsibility is extremely overwhelming for us! Needless to say, the "Jeff and Kris" transports are on hold until these dogs are placed.



Please let me know if you guys have any leads or suggestions for foster/adoption for these guys. They are Walker Heeler Hounds with what looks like a Collie mix. They are beautiful. Mom and Dad are at least 6 or older, and the pups are about 3-4 months. There are five girls and two boys. Both mom and dad are on the smaller side (45ish) pounds, so the pups shouldn't get too much larger than that. I will send pictures when they look better. And yes, we will travel to deliver these guys to any potential takers! I should even be able to get them spayed/neutered and microchiped prior. Larry, if you find anyone willing to take one or more, we could do a swap out if you still have dogs that need to be brought to Pet Pals in CT.



Any and all leads/help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!
