She was probably abandoned due to her condition. We think she was possibly a working sheep dog. Since we took her in, LUNA has been in good hands. She has had proper food and medical care to ensure her babies would be born healthy, happy and well adjusted so they have the best chance possible to be adopted. LUNA has now had 7 puppies (5 males and 2 females). All of them are healthy and beautiful, tan coloured with masked faces (hence the nick name the 7 Bandits). The type of breed is uncertain, since it is unknown who she mated with, but as they develop we will know more of their characteristics. Although just a few weeks old, they have a good and gentle temperament, are used to human contact as well as other dogs and cats. All the puppies will be available for adoption in 4-6 weeks time. Please someone out there adopt these adorable little ‘bandits’. Contact us for more photos, a viewing and to reserve your puppy. We will ensure they will have all their jabs and passports and will be ready to take home. CHARLIE’S STORY: Everyone likes a happy ending. Charlie was rescued at only 1 or 2 days old. He was heartlessly thrown away in a trash can in a plastic garbage bag with his other brothers and sisters, none of whom survived. We fostered him for 12 days until his eyes opened, feeding him every two hours and giving him all the attention he needed to survive. When he opened his eyes, we found him a ‘cat mother’ who adopted him into her litter of 4 kittens. LULU the mama cat was amazing. She immediately took to him without incident. She cleaned him and nursed him and cared for him like he was her own. He deserved to know that not all people are bad and he got his wish. He has now been adopted into his ‘forever home’. We would like to say a special thank you to Anne, for not only adopting him, but for her tireless effort and commitment to helping abandoned and abused animals. If anyone out there has left over building materials (wood pieces, fencing, concrete blocks, bricks, old sheds, etc.) to donate to the RAD Animal Association, it would be greatly appreciated. Materials will be used to build and improve the cat house and expand the dog areas. Please contact us if you can help.
