Julie and her Puppies

Julie & her puppies

Julie is a pretty little Beagle girl who had the bad luck of being very pregnant and being taken to a very rural, very full shelter, as part of a hoarding case. Because the shelter was already beyond capacity, Julie, along with her former housemates, were facing immediate euthanasia, but her luck was about to change.

AFH stepped in and took Julie into foster care just in the nick of time. She was only with her foster family for a few days before she delivered a beautiful, all-girl litter of five healthy puppies, right on her foster mom’s lap! Now, mommy and babies are all safe and loved, and getting bigger and stronger by the minute. In about six weeks, Julie and her babies can start looking for their forever homes.

AFH saves hundreds of momma dogs and their babies, just like Julie and her little girls, from being killed in shelters, and gives them the chance to find loving, forever homes with fabulous adopters. Every donation goes directly toward our efforts to continue this important work, and to saving little lives every day.
