URGENT FOSTER or RESCUE NEEDED: German Shepherd Mom & 7 Puppies

We’re urgently seeking a foster home for this beautiful German Shepherd mama and her 7 surviving puppies. Sadly, one of her babies passed away early on. While she was incredibly attentive to her puppies in the beginning, we’re now seeing signs of stress and she’s spending more and more time away from the litter. We think if we can get her back in a peaceful environment, she'll be able to focus better on her little family.

This family needs a calm, supportive environment where mama can decompress and feel safe, and where her puppies can continue to grow strong and healthy.

What We Need:

- A quiet home with space for a nursing mom and 7 small pups



- Ability to monitor and help support feeding if mom continues to disengage



- Someone experienced with newborns or willing to learn—staff can guide you!



- Availability for regular check-ins or medical visits as needed

All supplies, veterinary care, and support will be provided. We just need your heart and a safe space for this little family during such a vulnerable time. Please help us give them the chance they deserve. If you can open your home for 7-8 weeks reach out ASAP.
