And They Decided to Rename her "Libby."

Update to the previous post regarding Shelly.

Shelly has made a quick and full recovery from her injuries! Hooray for puppy antibiotics and pain killers!

Shelly was also adopted by a wonderful family who has two other dogs and have (in the 4 days she has lived with them) spoiled her absolutely rotten! We all knew it was a perfect match when her new owners picked her up, starting rubbing her back and she fell asleep.

In regards to her siblings, this is what we found out: All in all there were 9 pups in the litter (and, just FYI, no they did not have a litter permit). Two puppies died shortly after birth, leaving 7. One was adopted by another neighbor, which makes 6. Shelly was saved which left 5. One was sold to another neighbor leaving 4. Three were stealthily (and law-abidingly so) taken by an animal rescue group which left the one which the owner refused to give up. I am aware the district attorney was involved and legal proceedings have begun against the family. A few of the later rescued puppies were not in the best of health and since their removal on Saturday evening, we have not been updated on their status.

Wilson and I are extremely grateful to all those who expressed their anger, disgust, interest and energy in our quest to get these animals to a safer location. Thanks to those who put the word out looking for new parents for little Shelly. Her new family loves her to no ends and in her Liberation, have rightfully so, renamed her.
