and their Pups - North Shore Animal League America

Moms
and their Pups
Sierra
Yellow Lab mix
At the North Shore Animal League
America in Port Washington, NY, the
dogs in need sometimes have a family.
Lost, abused, cast away, they look at us
as if to say, “Just give me a home. You
do that, and I’ll handle the rest.”

Sierra was already
a mother when
North Shore rescued
her from a Georgia
shelter. Many municipal
­shelters euthanize newborn puppies because
they can’t handle them—
but that won’t happen to
Sierra’s babies.
Catalina
Shepherd mix
It’s colder up north than it is at the Southern shelter
where Catalina gave birth to her five puppies
(pictured here at eight weeks of age). But they no
longer face the threat of being put to sleep—they
just need happy, loving homes.

RIO
Dogo Argentino mix
On Christmas Eve animal control officers in
New Jersey got a call: A family had found a large
white dog under their porch, and she appeared to be
pregnant. Taken to a local municipal shelter, Rio
gave birth to 10 little miracles that very night!

SNICKERDOODLE
Bassett-corgi mix
Rescued from an overcrowded
shelter in Virginia, Snickerdoodle
was pregnant when North Shore
took her in. Pictured here five
weeks after she gave birth, both
mom and babies are doing great!

DIMPLES
Mini Pinscher mix
Dimples started the New Year by
giving birth to seven new lives.
Like many of the newborns at
North Shore, their future is much
brighter than if they’d stayed in
the municipal shelter Dimples
came from.
“I just have
to be firm
with him,”
says Eva,
out for a jog
with Hugo.
