NOEL AND HER PUPS NEED
YOUR HELP
GRRA was contacted in late December by the Athens-Clarke Animal Shelter to come look at a female golden retriever. Debbie Glover, the wonderful overseer of Murphyville, rescued this girl and since it was so close to Christmas, named her Noel. When Noel was taken to the vet to be examined and brought current on shots, GRRA discovered this sweet girl was about 5 weeks pregnant and also heartworm positive.
Noel’s puppies were born on 1/27 and even though the sonogram showed 5 pups, she gave birth to 7 adorable little ones. Puppies need a lot of attention and socialization and Debbie is making sure that happens so they will be wonderful additions to their new homes. The puppies are thriving and are featured on our Available Dogs page.
Now GRRA is faced with the expense of vaccinations and the spay/neuter of all the puppies. In addition, once the puppies are weaned, Noel will need to start her heartworm treatment. The vet estimates all the medical expenses will cost GRRA approximately $2,000.
Thanks to our wonderful supporters, GRRA doesn’t have to turn away dogs in need because of the medical expenses. Look at the faces of the puppies and know they wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the kindness of our supporters. If you are able to help, please go to our Donations page. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated. Noel thanks you and GRRA thanks you.
