Today's post will be short and sweet.
The big news is all about eyes... which we've started to see many off. Boy do these little darlings have absolutely beautiful eyes.
As for Miss Maddie, the medication is helping significantly with her eyes. The discharge and redness are clearing and she's so tollerant of all our administrations of treatment. Her beautiful fur is soft and fluffy and she likes to curl up on the couch and snuggle when she's taking a brief break from her babies.
As things change over the days we'll get some more photos up so you can follow the progress of all of these darling souls.

The Maddie Bunch
(click the picture for a larger image)Introducing (from left to right) Amber, Belle, Cruiser, Dante, Maddie, Echo, Hailey, Harley, Honey, Ripley and Rosie!!!
Look at these beautiful babies and their Momma! Not the easiest thing ever, to get photos of 11 day old pups, but I wanted you all to see how beautiful they are.
Day two with these lovely doggies has come to an end and things are going exceptionally well. We’d like to introduce you to these beautiful puppies, all looking for kind and loving forever homes where they will never have to live as their mother did.
Maddie is settling in beautifully. She absolutely loves people, young and… older. The second any of us approach her she is all tail wags and happy dog sounds. She allows all of us, including our 4 year old son, to gently handle her puppies, though she does keep a close watch on them.
It seems that, as is the case sometimes with dogs, Maddie has not let her rough early life affect her sweet and gentle personality – she’s an absolutely calm and charmingly sweet dog.
We “enjoyed’ our first bath today and Maddie smells much nicer and looks so pretty. Her fur is so soft that you could spend hours stroking it and she’d be happy to let you. She makes lovely doggies groans of joy when she is petted and loves to snuggle right up and give back some affection of her own.
We are treating her wounds and her eye irritations and working on getting what is likely months worth of discharge cleaned up carefully so that she can begin to heal. Even this she endures with sweet doggy gentleness, allowing us to apply ointment and drops without a fuss.
She is on the submissive side, preferring to take a non-confrontational stance when faced with the other dogs in our home. We have had no accidents in the house, no barking and absolutely no signs of aggression or guarding behaviors.
Our best guess is that this darling is a mix of lab/beagle/husky and what mix her pups might be is hard to tell. What we can tell you is that a beautiful and gentle soul had entered our home and when the time comes for her to move to her forever home she is the type of dog that will remain in our hearts forever.
Meet Maddie
Maddie was first brought to the attention of SiberRescueOntario a few weeks ago by some very dedicated people trying to save her life.
Along with two other female dogs, Maddie was locked in a yard of a backyard breeder, subjected to the elements. One of the dogs was chained. All three were very pregnant.
Pulling the dogs from the breeder would have meant that all three of these pregnant girls would face euthanasia as there were no facilities to house them in their location.
Before arrangements could be made, Miss Maddie gave birth to a very large litter of 10 beautiful puppies. Now all of these babies, along with their Momma faced death without rescue.
A group of absolutely amazing people came together, each playing their own role in finding a way to get these dogs to safety. Maddie and her crew are now safely ensconced in a room of their very own in a house where they will be very well cared and will receive medical treatment as needed until they are able to move on to their forever homes.
A huge thanks goes out to (in alphabetical order) Carla, Jennifer, Jill, Laura, and Madeline for rescuing these beautiful souls from impending death and allowing them the future that all dogs should have.
If you might be able to help either of the other Momma’s in danger, please contact info@siberrescue.org and we will put you in touch with the appropriate people.
Check back frequently to follow the progress of these beautiful dogs as we move through the next few weeks.
