Meet Shelby the Beagle Mutt, Saved From A High-Kill Shelter, Now Proud Mom of 10 Pups!

Meet Shelby, a beautiful young Beagle mix with quite a story. Beautiful Shelby was surrendered by her owners, and ended up in a high kill shelter in Kentucky. The former owners did not give any reasoning why she was surrendered. Fortunately, Shelby made her way up to K9Lifeline Rescue of Wisconsin at the end of October, and is now being fostered in a very loving home. Shelby is a super sweet dog with an incredibly cute under bite, and a pretty dog smile. While in foster care, she gave birth to 11 puppies last week on 11/17/15; 4 girls and 7 boys! Unfortunately, one "runt" puppy was lost from what is believed to be underdevelopment. Today, the puppies are one week old and doing very well! Everyone is gaining weight and their puppy eyes should start to open up soon. Their favorite thing to do is get milk from mama!
To answer the most common question, we don't know what breed the puppies are mixed with!

We are hoping to have weekly updates of this adorable brood of pups, and follow the journey and watch them grow on Evanger's!  They are still too young to have anything but mama's milk, but mama Shelby is already enjoying her new dinner.

Here's a short album of the puppies being born, and a smiling, happy mom, Shelby!
