How Animal Shelters Care for Newborn Puppies

Video Transcript

"So again when we get these puppies in to the shelters we really do work on caring for them and if you get a puppy that you are working on caring for we are going to do the best we can to make sure that they get through but sometimes these puppies don't make it and it is very difficult to make sure that they stay healthy and well without mom's care. Another thing that they have found is that sometimes these puppies tend to have more behavior problems than puppies that have grown up with their mothers. Mom puppies take care of their babies in a different way than we can. They correct them with mother language in a way that only mom dogs can give them. They often correct them if they bite too hard while they are nursing or play too rough and they do correction that human moms can't do so sometimes these dogs grow up with more behavior issues so that is something that we really need to consider when we are caring for these dogs. We really want to remember that spaying and neutering is such an important part of caring for our dogs and we don't want orphaned puppies like this one without moms so really consider spaying and neutering your own dog to prevent orphaned puppies."
