Mom and newborn puppies found as strays

Maple is the sweetest new mom who needs our help. This adorable girl and her eight puppies were found as strays in rural Virginia, alone and without shelter. This sweet mom tried to provide what she could for her babies, but every day was a struggle. The puppies were only days old when they were found, meaning that Maple had to have and take care of newborn puppies all by herself in the wilderness. She wanted nothing more than to protect and keep them safe, and she succeeded! It is amazing that these puppies and Maple survived, all a testament to how amazing of a mother Maple is. We want to make sure that this new mom and her puppies get the care that they need and do not spend any longer in a shelter than absolutely necessary. Newborn puppies have weaker immune systems and it would be hard for them to stay healthy in a crowded shelter. Please help us get Maple and her puppies to Homeward Trails where we can ensure they will stay happy and healthy while we find them all forever families!
