Snowflake

SNOWFLAKE - IMPOUND ID#A1173354 - North Central Shelter - VERY URGENT

UPDATE: Snowflake came into the shelter pregnant and her babies were aborted. Plus she was splattered with paint that someone threw all over her. Let's show Snowflake that not all people want to harm her. She needs a home for Christmas! We must help her!

Snowflake arrived at the shelter (after being stray for a while) with paint splattered all over her head and body. They named her Snowflake because of her uniqueness and the pattern of the paint (which is wearing off). This sweet girl deserves a chance to live a life with someone who loves and cares about her.

Bound Angels assessed Snowflake (and made a video!) she seems to bark if you stand in front of her kennel but she is a wonderful dog outside her kennel.
"When anyone approaches that kennel she barks and regresses. She is a wonderful dog in the play yard, I've been inside her kennel with her without any issues."

She’s a SPAYED female, brown Labrador Retriever mix.
The shelter thinks she is about 4 years old. She weighs approximately 73 pounds.
She has been at the shelter since Dec 07, 2010.

Purrfect family: injured dog at Edmonton shelter nurses 5 pups and a kitten

Esperanza had been badly injured when she was hit by a car, but the young dog was still managing to care for her newborn puppies - and a kitten - when she was found on a central Alberta reserve.

Criss Gerwing, who runs a small animal rescue group, discovered the dog earlier this month and couldn't believe it when the canine led her to her blended brood.

"I cried because she was in such bad condition with her leg, but she was obviously nursing her puppies and this kitten," Gerwing told a media outlet.

Gerwing took the entire family to the Edmonton Humane Society, where veterinarians thought they'd have to amputate the mother dog's bad leg.But local vet, Dr. Milton Ness, volunteered to do a special surgery that saved Esperanza's hind quarter.He calls her a "special soul."

"She is such a sweet, sweet dog. She has such a wonderful personality," Randoph said.

"It's amazing when you think about it. You have this dog who is just so giving of herself, caring for these newborn puppies and the kitten, making sure they were cared for even though she was obviously in a lot of pain."

Jacob the cat was already four months old and shouldn't have been nursing at all, so humane society vets weaned him and he's now being cared for by a staff member.

The devoted mother is recovering well. She and her pups will go into foster care after the holidays until permanent homes can be found for them. But the humane society ideally would like Esperanza and Jacob to be adopted together.
