Name: Mama Girl
Sex: Female (not altered)
Breed: Labrador Mix
Age: Unknown
Location: Greenville, NC
Vet/Medical Info: There is no vet info as Mama Girl was found under her caregiver's porch. Mama Girl weighs 40 pounds.
Owner Info: Mama Girl had a litter of 6 puppies under her caregiver's porch. The puppies were at least 5 weeks old when they were able to get her to start eating from a bowl. They were able to get the puppies out and have found homes for 4 of the 6. Mama Girl has gained weight and appears to be thriving. They do not have a fenced yard and are very concerned for her safety. They've put up posters and have done their best to find her owner, but have had no luck. Mama Girl is an outdoor dog and is not housebroken or leash trained. She is very sweet and friendly, and good with men, women, teenagers, male dogs, and other small animals. She has never shown any aggression. Her caregiver says that she is amazing and that she has to be very smart to have raised this litter of puppies virtually unassisted with the excessive heat that they have had!! According to her caregiver, Mama Girl appears to have no vision in one eye either due to a traumatic cataract or possibly a complication of high pressure. She has limited vision in the other eye as well. When they first discovered her, her eyes were bulging but seem to be much improved since they have been caring for her. She has the sweetest temperament. They really wish they could keep her but know that she will make a wonderful companion for someone.
Update 8/1/2012: Mama Girl's situation has gotten more urgent. Her caregivers will be taking her to a shelter this coming weekend if a foster/forever home can't be found.
