That I do not know.
I know how busy you all are, but I would love to see some photos when you get them.
Hugs and hugs for doing this.
Are you keeping one?
Sharron, I'm having problems with my camera/computer, or I would already have them up!
I'm working on it though…promise.;)
I know how busy you are.
I can't tell you all how much I admire you all dropping your lives to help these dogs.
YOU ALL ROCK!
Big THANKS to all the people involved in rescuing these pups - the thought of what might have happened is just too scary to contemplate.
I wish I could help with fostering (but I'm leaving for Europe in a few weeks) especially since I could just picture them needing love and care.
I went to see the remaining SD dogs yesterday and help get two to Suzanne in Mi for fostering.
The dogs broke my heart but also made me happy to know that their "good life" is getting ready to start.
I took Zena and Zora from Mattoon back to Indiana and they are just sweethearts.
I have never seen such a skinny girl as Zena, I just wanted to keep her and feed and love on her. They were both shy, scared, and a bit nervous- as can be expected.
I think both will make wonderful turnarounds and just flourish. They did enjoy being loved on once they got used to it a bit, so there is tons of hope for these two girls.
Thanks to Suzanne Sarlls for taking these sweet girls and Liz for her amazing organization abilities 
It was great to be part of getting these dogs to the good life.
Christy, do send photos when you can.
How old are these 2 girls?
Are they the pg ones?
Sharron
Is Zena the brindle girl? She was one of the toughest, I believe. That poor girl was soooo scared.
She would not be one of the prego chicas.
Toughest as it damaged, scared?
Thanks so much for all you folks have done for these b's.
She was one of the toughest to handle.
Its good she has a kind basenji smart home to go to then.
She will figure out quickly that people and being inside is a good thing.
No, these 2 girls are not preggo. One had had puppies awhile ago.
Zena was one of the brindles, but not the fear biter, but looked very simila- sisters? She was the thinnest dog I have ever seen. I think she weighed in at 14lbs. But had such a kind sweet face and hopeful eyes. (*It is such a good thing Liz did not tell me to just keep her, i would not have been able to say no)
Both girls were very sweet and relaxed after holding them for awhile. Zena even sniffed and licked my cheek, which is a great sign.
I cant wait to see how they turn out.
It was heartbreaking, but also so inspiring. So many people coming together to help get these dogs to good homes. I keep thinking that in a short while these dogs will be so happy and healthy and loved and get to enjoy being spoiled and loved on.–get to enjoy being dogs.
Both girls will be fostered by a wonderful home.
Thanks so much for the post.
I am so proud to be a member of the BRAT family.

Aren't you!? Me too.
I just love being a part of such a great group, even if I am only a very small part. Makes me feel like I am part of something "bigger".
I cant do alot, but I do what I can. I cant really foster, but I like to drive and enjoy "my dogs" for the few hours I have them.
To any one wanting to get envolved–-do. Even if you dont think you can do a whole lot, do what you can. It really makes a huge difference in the lives of these dogs (both from the PMs and regular ones) and in the lives of the very excited people that are waiting to adopt a special BRAT.
I am fostering Zena and Zora. Christie helped me get them from Liz to MI on Thursday. They are doing well. They are scared, but eating well and seem to understand that the papers are for going potty. They've even begun chewing on a few toys and enjoying a couple of treats. We had to get them new collars as the metal was causing a rash to Zena's neck. They both have pretty new pink collars and new Fido Fleece coats. They have VERY thing fur and dry skin. They are so precious. We managed to get a few pix too today. I'll make them a dogster page too. We are going to the vet on the 5th to see how they are and to do a pre-op for getting them both spayed. Maybe Zora will have put on some weight by then!
Thanks for all the support. Christie, you're wonderful! Thanks for your help in the transport.
We have Susie the r/w 7 mo old female. She is an absolute doll. Eating great and full of energy. She has been going potty outside very well. She slept with my son last night and he adores her. He is not going to want to let her go. Her spay is scheduled for the 10th so we will get that taken care of. I have a question for those of you who have intact females. She is spotting a little blood. Do I need to do anything? Is she going into a heat cycle? Is it ok to spay her now?
She is soft as silk and eating up all the attention. She will adapt to spoiled life very well. She loves playing with toys and has started to gut all the ones that are still ungutted from Dash. We are trying to get her used to the doggie door so she can go in and out at her will while we are at work. Our neighbors beagle pup spends most of her day here as well so she will have plenty of playmates. Liz did a perfect job matching this girl to us for a foster.
If she is spotting blood, then yes she is probably coming into season. Some vets will do a spay when the dog is in season and some won't. It is a more complicated procedure when they are in season because everything is engorged with blood.
here is a pic of our foster.
What a cutie…how is she doing? Sounds like she is in heat...
here is a pic of our foster.
What a doll… and I would agree, she most likely is coming in season... and most of the Vets I know will not spay until it is over.... as Lisa points out, it is a much tougher surgery for both the Vet and the bitch....
OMG! too cute!
