“We didn’t want to drive since roads were dangerous but eventually decided it was our best option,” Morgan said. “So we moved our family of four, our three dogs, mama and her seven puppies 45 minutes to my parents house (who had electricity) and stayed there until Friday!”
Eventually, the power came back on and everyone was able to settle back into home, including Maggie and her new puppies. The sweet dog was instantly an incredible mom to her seven babies, whose names are Daisy, Poppy, Ash, Rosie, Dahlia, Clover and Aster. Despite a chaotic start, the puppies are all doing extremely well, growing and developing exactly as they should be.
“Maggie is so gentle,” Morgan said. “She’s extremely nurturing, not only to her puppies, but also to my 2 year old and 9 month old … It’s been amazing watching her become a mom. She’s a total natural with her puppies.”
Maggie and her puppies will all be available for adoption through the Hill Country SPCA in April. Until then, their foster family will continue to keep them safe — which hopefully should be pretty easy from here on out after dealing with all the snow and power outages. Regardless, they’re so happy to have Maggie in their care, and can’t wait to see how she and her puppies grow into themselves.
“She really is an amazing dog … we will miss having her around when she finds her forever home,” Morgan said.
