Nellie and her five littermates were born on December 29 and are currently living in a foster home with other dogs and pets. The puppies have begun leash and house training and have been working on good manners from an early age. Teaching puppies good manners helps them become better dogs, and consistent training reduces the likelihood that they will be surrendered to a shelter.

Their mother, Nova Lee, and her two nine-month-old sisters, Willow and Stormy, were rescued from a difficult situation due to their owners' struggles with addiction. The sisters survived a house fire, and Nova Lee and Willow had to deliver their puppies in the burnt-out home. Stormy gave birth to her pups after being rescued. Nova Lee, Stormy, and Willow have already found loving homes.

Stormy, Nellie’s aunt, recently had a DNA test done, and the results are available in the pictures. The father of all three litters is a Great Pyrenees mix, so some of the puppies may grow quite large.

Nellie and her littermates are receiving monthly treatment for generalized demodectic mange with Bravecto. Demodex mites are naturally transferred from mother to puppies, and the immune system usually keeps them under control. However, in some puppies, a delay or defect in immune development can lead to an uncontrollable population of mites. Demodectic mange in puppies is a skin condition caused by the Demodex canis mite. All dogs carry these mites in small numbers. The condition is not contagious and likely stems from their stressful beginnings. (Spay appt. 5-1-25)
