Being an expectant Mum can be stressful, but for one young Lurcher it was doubly so – she found herself in Newport Pound with no home and an uncertain future.
Hope Rescue stepped in and found her a fantastic foster home willing to take care of the heavily pregnant ‘mum to be’. She settled into her foster home easily and it was clear to her foster mum that she had most definitely been a pet as she knew all about stairs, kitchens, mealtimes, household appliances etc. Very polite and easy going, she found herself a dog bed to lie on upstairs at bedtime and settled in really well after only one day! She was given a new name, Seren, and everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her puppies.
As a rescue dealing with stray and abandoned dogs, Hope thinks of new names on a daily basis, often to replace a number from the pound or to give a dog a fresh start. This time because the puppies were to be born in a Hope foster home, it was decided to launch a competition to ‘name the puppies’.
The latest news is that Seren gave birth on 18th September to 2 lovely little girls – both are very well and ‘puppy-plump’ and Seren is proving to be an excellent mother.
For a £1 donation, you can name the pups – the draw will be made when they are 14 days old. The money raised will go towards the care of Seren, her puppies and the many other dogs Hope Rescue looks after each year.
