Missouri River Kids III Flow Into Col. Potter

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

The third and probably final group of Missouri River Kids arrived Sunday. We were told there would be six Cairns coming in, but unfortunately, only five were released with the puppy mill deciding to keep one of the males who was older and they were quite attached to. This means that boy will never know medical care, what it's like to sleep inside a house and be warm when it's cold or cool when it's hot outside. He will live out his days the same way he has lived his entire life, in a small, filthy cage. They also kept a couple of older females and three younger breeding pairs of Cairns. While we would have loved to rescue every single Cairn this puppy mill had, we rescued 21 Cairns out of this PM and into the loving arms of CP. Maybe, at some point in the future, we will get the remainder, but if not, please keep these furkids in your thoughts.

Please help me welcome the Missouri River Kids III:

Marmaton: F, DOB 4/6/04, red wheaten, timid and very thin

Moreau: F, DOB 10/3/06, wheaten, very scared, just weaned a litter of puppies, hair loss and skin issues, very thin

Castor: F, DOB 5/1/07, red/grey brindle, friendliest of the three girls, but still timid and very thin

Tarkio: M, DOB 8/9/01, red wheaten, timid but did well once picked up

Roubidoux: M, DOB 9/29/06, red brindle, bouncy, tail-wagging, friendly, handsome guy

My thanks once again to Kathy & Barney H. for making the trip to pick-up these furkids, and for taking the photos. Incidentally, along with the five Cairns, one more little Westie found his way to freedom. You may remember two female Westies, Willow and Winnie, were released with the second group of Missouri River Kids. The following is a picture of the little Westie boy:



We are VERY much in need of foster homes for male fosters. Once again, everyone wants to foster the little girls, leaving the little boys out in the cold. If you are able to foster a male, PM, owner surrender or shelter surrender, please email us or fill out a foster home application.

As you look at the faces of the Missouri River Kids III, remember that CP is only able to help them and the other PM kids with your help and generosity. The New Leash on Life is running through this weekend. The proceeds of NLOL goes directly to help PM kids. Please ask your family, friends, coworkers and associates to consider purchasing just one NLOL chance. Show them the pictures of the Missouri River Kids and let them know how important and how much appreciated their support is and what it means to the life of these furkids. They truly can make a difference in the lives of these furkids!
