About Grandma

Meet Grandma, a stunning and loving dog who is currently busy caring for her puppies. She’s not quite ready for adoption yet, but soon she will be! Until then, Grandma is seeking a maternity foster to provide a quiet, comfortable environment while she nurtures her little ones. She's nursing them in a stress-free space, so a spare bedroom, office, or even a bathroom would be ideal for their temporary home. Austin Pets Alive will supply everything you need for this journey, and they’ll guide you on what to expect. Fostering typically means caring for Grandma and her puppies until they can start eating solid food at around 3-4 weeks. You'll also have the chance to adopt either Grandma or one of her puppies if you decide to see them through the process. Enjoy the joy of puppy cuddles and the satisfaction of helping a family in need during this special time. Can you provide that loving space Grandma and her puppies are looking for?
