All Puppies Have Been Adopted and This One Was Left Behind

A couple of months ago a momma dog and her companion were dumped on Westport road in Shreveport. They made their way along I-20 and by some miracle, these dogs weren't hit.

One of Our Staff Members Took in the Dog Pair and Found Out the Female Dog Was Very Pregnant.

What started off as a "Let me take these dogs in for the week until we figure out what's going to happen with the dogs" turned into a "This momma dog is going to give birth in 7 to 10 days. We have puppies on the way."

All Puppies Have Been Adopted Except One.

Highway is the shy one of the crew and he really just wants to cuddle and hide under a blanket. He is already a professional cuddler so if you love puppy breath and puppy cuddles he wants to go home with you.

If you are interested in adopting Highway he is ready to go home. He has gotten his first round of puppy shots and it's a $120 adoption fee to cover all of the expenses. You must have a vet reference or good standing with an animal rescue. We want to make sure all these pups end up in the best homes as we have grown to love these little dudes already. To apply to adopt this sweet pup or if you have any questions email jackie.whaley@townsquaremedia.com with the subject "Highway Puppy".
