For those who wonder why I am giving away puppies before 8 weeks. Posted by Anneli on February 21, 2023, 6:08 pm I know the minimum time with Mother and siblings is 8 weeks and I was aiming for that, naturally. 🙏🏽 However, I could not, practically, keep them enclosed anymore, once they discovered how to climb stairs, they ventured out into the street (quiet street but still), where they can get into trouble, get hurt and more, like night animals and predatory birds. So I decided it is better they go to their new homes and hopefully the new owners are able to enclose them a while longer, so they are safe. I will follow up on them making sure they get their 2nd round of vaccines and more deworming pills. The new owners are promising to do this, but I will still follow up with them. 🙏🏽

As a suggestion and temporary solution I used chicken coop fencing attached to stakes or anything else that you could secure the wire fencing with. Cheap and simple. The alternative would be for someone with a fenced area to help foster them. Good luck to a good heart.

Thank you Laurisa! Posted by Anneli on February 22, 2023, 6:06 pm, in reply to "Re: For those who wonder why I am giving away puppies before 8 weeks." Thank you Laurisa for your great advice! I implemented it today, let’s see if it works! 😉

It would be great if you could keep them long enough to make sure they are spayed and neutered at the up coming clinic. It’s only a couple of weeks away and they will have a much happier and healthier life, I saw them Tuesday and they are beautiful puppies ready to be sterilized.
