Great photos of your beautiful new puppy. Hope she was a rescue dog, there are so many puppies and older dogs looking for their forever home. Our older German Shepard passed away earlier in the year and our Collie has been very lonely. So we adopted a 25 week old Labrador mix as a little sister for him, I keep trying to get some decent photos of her but she never stops moving and is too fast for me until her batteries are discharged or she's eating.

Willow is a rescue dog originally from the native villages in Northern Quebec. They have so many sled dogs up there that keep on producing too many litters that some organizations are trying to mitigate the problem. The dogs are raised 'til about 8 - 10 weeks and they try to find homes for them then. This is the second dog we adopted like that.

Our puppy came from Mississippi where it seems the dogs are left to roam unchecked and the resulting never ending liters are usually not wanted. If the pups are lucky like Layla was, they are surrendered to local rescue organizations, otherwise they may end out on the street, homeless to fend for themselves. So a never ending stream of homeless and unwanted dogs are shipped to recuse organizations in Connecticut and Massachusetts where there are a much lower number of local dogs needing rescue and many families willing to foster or adopt them.
