Three mixed-breed, possibly Dalmatian, puppies were rescued on Halloween from the trash pile where their mother left them. The mother has not been trapped yet, but she is described as all white with a few black spots, about 40-45 pounds. All three pups are thriving, and their dark spots (mostly on the ears ) are getting more pronounced. The have been vetted and their vaccines are up to date.

In keeping with a Halloween theme, we named them after horror movie actors and characters: Bela, Boris and Clarice -- 2 boys and a girl. All of them have very sweet personalities and love to be handled and petted, The little girl, Clarice, is much smaller than her two brothers. We expect Clarice to be similar in size to their mother (about 45 pounds), and perhaps a bit larger than that for the two boys.

These puppies had a pretty rough beginning, but show great promise to be excellent house dogs for the right companions. If you are interested in applying for one of these puppies, contact the foster parents at the email link below.
