Cabbage Patch - Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

This gorgeous girl is not quite available for adoption, but will be soon after she is done raising a family of her very own! She is currently nursing her puppies and we urgently need a maternity foster to help get her out of the stressful shelter so she can focus on giving her puppies everything they need to grow. Moms and puppies do not need a ton of space and prefer a quiet room or space to themselves as opposed to being a part of the household action; so if you've got a spare bedroom, office, bathroom or closet space where you can keep them separate from resident pets then you are perfect for maternity fostering!

APA will gladly provide all supplies and give you a run down of what to expect throughout the process. We ask that maternity fosters keep mom and puppies until the puppies have weaned and started eating gruel, which is usually around 3-4 weeks of age. At that point we are able to move the puppies to new foster homes so they can start their journey towards adoption and mom as well if that is preferred. Or if you want to see the family through to adoption yourself we will gladly help you through that stage as well!

Please reach out to give a family the quiet, comfy place they need during this vulnerable stage. You will get to enjoy an immense amount of puppy cuddles and joy watching them grow up. And as the foster you will get first priority for adopting mom or a puppy of your choice. Can you help a mom and her puppies by signing up to be a maternity foster today??
