What an amazing journey this precious girl has had, and allowed us all to join her on. Marelli has weaned and found homes for all 7 of her adorable Lab puppies! She was a perfect mama, gentle and patient with both her humans helping her and her puppies growing and following her lead.

Now that mama's job is over and she has had her very last litter...she is taking a two week break and will start taking care of her own health and body. You moms out there no what hard work that is and how much you can neglect yourself in the process.

But no worries we have the pampering set to go and she is getting all of the amenities of a quiet home.

Marelli will be available to start meeting her prospective adopters on June 15.

When beautiful, sweet Marelli joined our program we knew she was heartworm positive. Imagine our surprise when she went for treatment and the vet called to say she was "very" pregnant!

Marelli gave birth to 7 beautiful Labrador puppies on March 14th, 2014.

She is busy raising them into fine young puppies and you can watch them grow and her shrink on our blog at: http://retrieveafriend.blogspot.com/

Once Mama has weaned her pups she will need to recover a bit before being spayed and having heartworm treatment. Then she will be looking for a home of her very own!
