Foster Fridays: Puppies!

Hello, my name is Alex Chipman and I have fostering a sheppard mix and six of her puppies for about a week now. Her name is Dusk and she came to me from Pet Helpers. I have attached some pictures, from the group photo. I will list their names from left to right and put a (m) for male and (f) for female. Caico(f), Nick(m), Frances(f), Simon(m), Buffet(m), and pictured separately Abaco(f). There is also a good pick with Frances and Nick attached (for photos click to begin the slideshow above).

They are about six weeks old. They all have great personalities and I try to play with them a lot to develop social skills. Nick is the most dominant and Abaco loves to cuddle. They are all very sweet and play well together. Dusk is also very sweet and well behaved. She would be great with kids and she goes to the door when she need to go out. I have not been with her around other dogs, but im sure she would be sweet and mind her business.

I wanted to foster because I just bought a home with a big backyard that's great for dogs. I enjoy volunteering at Pet Helpers, so I wanted to help anyway I could. My favorite moment was trying to take the group photo. Just when I thought I had them all, Abaco decided to move out of the picture. They are wonderful dogs and would make a great addition to a loving home.

If you think you'd be the perfect match for Dusk or her puppies, visit the Pet Helpers website for more information on beginning the adoption process.
