Pupdate: Week 5 of Puppy Madness!

By Amy King

#Pupdate Juliet’s baker’s dozen of pups are now 5-weeks-old and growing fast! In addition to milk from Mama, they are enjoying a yummy helping of wet food and formula twice a day. The rambunctious brood is enjoying playtime with our staff and expressing their individual personalities more every day. However, these fur babies are NOT AVAILABLE for adoption at this time, as they are still too young to be away from Mama.
