Chicken Nugget's Story
Meet the Scrap Yard Crew 2.0 aka the “foodies”. Backstory: Back in January 2024 we learned of a scrap yard private business that had a family of dogs on site. They asked us for help with the female puppies from that litter and they told us they would have mom spayed. We took them in and they were the sweetest girls you ever met! They have all been adopted to wonderful families across the country. Fast forward to May 2024 and guess what? Mom was never spayed and now already there is another litter of 8 puppies. The puppies were small and there were predators all around the scrap yard, including coyotes and snakes. We went to meet them and only agreed to take the puppies - all 8 if they also surrendered mom this time. They thankfully agreed. There are 8 puppies in total – 4 boys and 4 girls! Each have their own Petfinder profile, though one girl is already adopted! We had one wonderful foster family step up to take the entire family, mom and 8 babies! So we named them “food names”! They went from scrap yard babies to foodies overnight! All of the puppies are small, between 6-9 lbs. They are probably 5-6 weeks old. We expect that they will get bigger though. The other puppies from the previous litter are growing to be around 45-60 lbs. We suspect dad is the same, but can’t be certain. Obviously, we know mom is the same. Mom is skittish, of course. She was dumped at this industrial area and has had litter after litter of puppies. She was not abused, but also not treated with kindness or love. But she is just the sweetest dog. And the previous litter of puppies were so sweet and smart. We know this litter will be just the same. They are already so cute, playful and snuggly. They were very smart when we picked them up. No accidents in the car from any of the 8 and we put down puppy pads in the vet’s office and they used those instead of going in their crates or on the floor. Very smart for puppies that age. Won’t you consider adopting one of these very special babies today? Apply to adopt! The scrap yard 2.0/foodie crew is currently being fostered in Houston, Texas but are available to transport to many locations!
