From Fort Collins Coloradoan:
Cupcake and Pearl, two 13-week-old female Chihuahuas, are ready to begin the next chapter of their lives.
Rose Carroll, a co-founder of Animal Rescue Connection in Greeley and Foster Home, who has been caring for the puppies over the past three months, explains their ‘pawing’ future.
“I have not found permanent homes for them yet,” she said. “But, I am set on having them adopted together.”
The puppies were rescued from a plastic trash bag that had been tied at the top and found inside a trashcan at Windsor Lake near Birch Street on April 20. The puppies were less than 12 hours old.
Three Windsor residents made the startling discovery.
After three months, the puppies have a clean bill of health.
“The puppies are doing great,” Carroll said. “They are doing very well. They are very sweet and loving.” Stacie Stocks, a practice manager at Mountainwood Pet Hospital, agreed.
“They are doing absolutely awesome,” she said. “They are beautiful, really cute and living a real nice life. They play together and are just real sweet. They are like little rays of sunshine.”
The puppies have been spayed, vaccinated and micro-chipped. The asking price per puppy is $150.
“To get all of the vaccinations, people would spend a lot more doing it themselves,” Stocks said. “Upwards of easily $500 each.”
The money from the adoption will go to help fund future spaying and neutering of animals at ARC.
The process to adopt the adorable puppies is quite extensive.
Interested ‘adoptive parents’ will need to fill out an application and begin the adoptive process. Anyone interested in adopting Pearl and Cupcake should go online at www.animalrescueconnection.org or contact Rose Carroll at rose@animalrescue.connection.org.
