Dachshund Rescue South Florida hasn't added a story.
Every day in Miami puppies are born in the hands of backyard breeders. As much as we wish it were different, there is no law about breeding a Mom over and over again and/or fulfilling the commitment to provide the puppies everything they need.
Yonkers, Staten, and Manhattan were three backyard breeder pups that were being given away yesterday and we were asked if we could help. They seemed to be in relatively good condition and we arranged to get them to Everglades Animal Hospital where Dr. Weman checked them out and got them settled in for the night.
DRSF received a call late last night from the kennel staff that the puppies were not eating on their own which meant that they had either been taken from their Mom too soon, or the breeder had not started to introduce solid foods to them so when they were away from their Mom (and likely terrified) they didn't know what to do with the food that was put in front of them.
We couldn't let them sit there unsupervised and had to ensure that they got some nutrients into them, so late last night they were transferred to LeadER where they could be hand fed, transitioned to puppy food, and supervised through the weekend.
It boggles our mind that even to this day, people will buy a puppy from someone they have never even met before, nor have any reference from. They will meet in a parking lot trade "cash for dog" with the "breeder" doing nothing on a background check on the people they are handing this innocent life over to. The people buying the dog know nothing about the health or equally importantly the living conditions of the Mom and Dad and end up giving their money to support his abhorrent process.
This evening, Yonkers, Staten, and Manhattan are safe with full bellies at LeadER and we hope that karma is coming for this breeder and all the other out there who are so cavalier with innocent lives.
We want to continue being there for all the little ones who make it to our door. Can Yonkers, Staten, and Manhattan count on you for just a few dollars to help cover their care?
