Meet the Trinity 11 Litter – boys Toby, Tucker, Toro, Tips, Taps and Taite, and girls Tina, Tassi, Timber, Sara”Toga”, and Mus”Tang” Sally!
Taps -ADOPTION PENDING- was one of the smaller pups upon rescue, needing a bit more TLC, but he's now caught right up with the rest of the group. He is a sweet bashful pup <3
These pups & their momma (Sally) were dumped/abandoned in the woods in NC and left to die. Fortunately, a good Samaritan saw them and took them in to care for them and ultimately get them to rescue. Momma Sally was quite weak… and despite their and our best efforts with getting her medical attention, she became septic and did not survive. Momma Sally gave everything she had to her puppies, and, in her memory, we are giving our all to finding her beautiful babies wonderful, loving forever homes.
These pups were born on ~ 5/10/21. Our best guess (no guarantee) is that they are Southern Cur/Pittie/Boxer mixes. (See included adult photo of their mother, Sally.) Right now (7/4/21), the pups range in size from 5 to 9 lbs. We expect, but again cannot guarantee, that they will be medium-sized adult dogs (40-60lbs).
Despite their rough start to life, these babies are remarkably healthy and social. All have been started on their medical – they have been bathed, dewormed and given their first “puppy shot” (parvo/distemper). As to temperament/behavior, they are all happy, outgoing pups who love to play and be loved. They are doing fabulously in foster care, reveling in new experiences every day – running, playing, exploring, and even swimming!! They are very affectionate pups who love people attention. They also get along well with one another, the adult dogs in their foster families, and, in one foster home, cats and chickens as well.
In short, these babies are extremely nicely tempered pups, each of whom will make a great addition to a loving, responsible home. Of course, as is the case with all puppies, they will need continued basic training to lead them to become good adult canine citizens. If you have the time, willingness and ability to commit to one of these babies for life, please apply with us.
