On 28 May 2024, we took in a pack of six puppies, who seemed maybe 8 weeks old or more, and seemed well-cared for.  They were energetic, bright and not afraid of us at all.  We can't imagine why on earth these six came to be left in a derelict house nearby, on our regular walking routes, or even if they were all from the same litter.  We felt we couldn't leave them there, not least because when they matured, there would be even more puppies. 

We took them in, and gave them the usual inspection, and found them to be carrying Parvovirus, so their period of Quarantine was especially important.  Amazingly, all of them got through with no obvious symptoms, but the end of their confinement coincided with the beginning of a distemper outbreak, and then the mystery illnesses and trials of August and September, and before you knew it, the six little puppies, including Delia, were now young adults.

Each young dog has their own personality - Delia is a little shy, but very friendly when she gets to know you.  She would make an excellent pet for a family with time to devote to her.  The other five are Diane, Dawson, Dove, Dario, and Dante.  All six are vaccinated and spayed or neutered.
