PLEASE On average, each dog that GGRR handles, costs the organization $973. The puppies were much more expensive. Adoption fees of $275 only cover a fraction of the cost. The rest comes strictly from donations.
Bottle feeding these pups Esbilac formula, plus medical evaluations, shots, etc., cost GGRR more than $100 each day. Further, the pups' Mom, Shadow, is heartworm positive, and has started heartworm treatment. Note: According to the vets' who are following the puppies progress, there is zero percent chance that the mother's heartworms can be transferred to the puppies.

	Shadow: was a stray that showed up at a home in rural Illinois. She spent three weeks on her property while the home owner attempted to locate her family. After not being able to locate her family GGRR was called. Two GGRR members made three trips to the home in Illinois trying to catch Shadow. Finally on the third try we were successful. After just five hours in her foster home she started giving birth and several hours later she had 12 puppies. We will post more photos and continue to update their progress. added 3/6/2008 Update (5/5/08): All of the puppies have been adopted into loving homes except for Kiera. Aidan has a new name, he's now known as Sunny or Sunshine. Kiera has moved into her foster home with this website's webmaster. Kiera is being evaluated and will be available for adoption soon. And GGRR's president who has been fostering all nine of the puppies and their Mom, Shadow, has decided to keep Shadow for herself. Shadow tested positive for heartworms and is currently undergoing treatment. She is expected to make a full recovery.
	Update (3/9/08): 3 female puppies didn't survive the first 24 hours after birth. The remaining 9 puppies, 6 females and 3 males, are doing very well. The foster Mom is supplementing Shadow's nursing efforts by bottle feeding the smaller, more at risk, puppies.

	Finn: and River are 1 year old males. They are really sweet and get along great with other dogs. Finn likes to bark at strange delivery men, but nobody else. He's never barked in his crate. added 1/4/2008
