Yesterday afternoon Harriett stopped by the Champaign County Humane Society (CCHS) to pick up five 6-week old puppies. They were relinquished to the shelter with their mother, Coco, and two other dogs. Coco and the other two dogs are at CCHS and we’ll keep the puppies for two weeks.
I met Coco today to get a picture for this blog. She’s a nice looking dog and really tiny, maybe 20 pounds. When Harriett met her on Wednesday Coco approached and licked Harriett’s hand, but it took a bit of coxing for Shelter Manager Michelle to get her close enough to me to get this picture. The shelter was told she gets scared “if a man yells at her.” What’s that all about?
The pups are going to look a lot like their mom. They’re shy, but will be fine after they’ve been with us for two weeks. We don’t have names yet, but will pick some in a few days. Here’s the litter. The numbers next to the pictures are the CCHS ID numbers.

What fine looking pups! They are in good hands now. I hope they find happy homes. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have met and walked the two other adult dogs who were relinquished with Coco, and they are super sweet, though submissive, dogs. Their body language showed they had been "scared when yelled at" or otherwise mistreated. They receive loving attention with the utmost gratitude and reciprocate with unbounded affection!
