These adorable eight-week-old puppies, along with their equally cute mother, are all looking for new homes.
Wyndham council animal rangers picked up the pups’ mother, 10-month-old Winnie, while she was wandering the streets last month.
Staff at the Wyndham City Pound in Hoppers Crossing discovered she had recently given birth. Although Winnie had no microchip or any form of identification, pound employees managed to find her owner on Facebook. They discovered Winnie had given birth to nine puppies, just five weeks earlier.
Winnie’s owner surrendered all the dogs to the pound.
After reuniting the staffy/kelpie pups with their mother, volunteers from the Western Suburbs Cat and Kitten Rescue took them into foster care.
Wyndham councillor Heather Marcus said the puppies were now ready for adoption, after being desexed and microchipped. “We’re also hoping we can find someone who will take Winnie along with one of her puppies,” she said.
Cr Marcus said Winnie was a “perfect example” of why it was important for Wyndham residents to desex and microchip their pets.
To adopt Winnie or her puppies, contact the Western Suburbs Cat and Kitten rescue on 0400 988 931 or at facebook.com/wscatrescue/.
