Three days old and safe....

Madeline's babies were born on Christmas day in the shelter and were slated for euthanasia a few days later when the staff were back from the weekend. Fortunately Rocket Dog Rescue volunteers saw this momma and her babies at the shelter and saved them that same day!

Momma is a small breed dog...WE DO NOT KNOW WHO DADDY IS! So it is anyone's guess at this point of the mixture of breeds....we may be able to tell more when the pups get a bit older...


There are four puppies: three girls and one boy. They will be ready for adoption at the end of February, but we are taking applications for the puppies and Momma Madeline now....if you are interested, please submit an adoption application (http://www.rocketdogrescue.org/) and email it to adopt@rocketdogrescue.org and a volunteer will contact you!


Please check back for more pictures as the pups grow!

ZUNI: The only boy in the batch! He is mostly black with a tiny white crest on his chest.

APRIL: Baby girl with bovine-like spots!

BRONTE: Black/brindle girl with white markings.

CLARA: Little girl with mostly white coat and black marks. (DECEASED)

>REST IN PEACE, LITTLE ONE<

Mama Madeline: She weighs about 12 lbs, shy at first, but warms up quickly. Very sweet and likes to be held.
