Dallas Animal Services says it is still in urgent need of people willing to temporarily care for moms with puppies until they reach eight weeks of age and can be adopted.
A North Texas swim team stepped up to help in a big way.Denovellis isn't swimming for the Midlothian Sting Rays this summer. She found another passion: caring for a mom and her pups.
The litter is being fostered by her neighbor, Mary Martin, who is also the assistant director of Dallas Animal Services.The big question is why is DAS seeing such a huge influx in puppies? There are likely many factors, but the end of the privately funded Dallas spay-neuter surge program about eight months ago is hard to ignore.
While this group was first united by a love for swimming, they also share a love for caring for an orphaned mom and her six puppies."I've never had this experience, so it is really fun to see the different puppies name them, see how they are all different," said Denovellis."Thanks to you and Fox 4 News we were able to get a number of puppies into foster and rescue, but more have come in," she said.
