Sweet As Candy - Their Horrible Beginning Will Inspire You To Rescue Or Foster

These little babies are sweet as candy. They are purebred German Shepherd puppies around 6-7 weeks old. They are brand new to our group and just left the animal hospital.

These babies came to our group from Corpus Christi. The breeder who had them decided to remove their dew claws herself at home. Their feet became severely infected and by the time she finally took them to the vet the infection had spread. This breeder took them to the vet not to have their feet treated but to have them killed.Luckily the vet refused to do this and instead asked her if he could take the puppies. The vet tech contacted our group and we were happy to step in a help. The vet was able to get the infection under control but both puppies have had their toes amputated on one foot.

Right now they are healing and building their strength up and their feet will be reevaluated. It is possible each puppy may need part of their leg amputated. Right now they are in their new foster home for lots of TLC. Despite everything they have been through they are both very sweet puppies and enjoy human interaction.
