Montana Mom and Pups

Here is their story, from Christiane of GP Rescue Montana:  

"We need help for a starved Momma (60 lbs) (who has no name) and eight pups, who were born on March 1, 2011 (no names, either). We have seven girls and one boy. Momma is a 1.5 year old pure bred Pyr, babies are supposedly 3/4 Pyr and 1/4 Anatolian. They look pure bred, though, double dew claws and all.

The Momma came from Wyoming. Animal Control Officers had notified Momma's owners that they would take Momma away because of inadequate living conditions, severe neglect and abuse. The problem is that all shelters in that area have a very high kill rate. To save Mom from death, a family in Montana took her into their home. Momma went into labor almost as soon as she arrived and gave birth to eight pups. The family who had rescued her lived on a very low income, and while they were able to shelter her and the babies, they had no money for veterinary care or special food.  They allowed Mom to nurse the pups, which depleted her resources further and exacerbated her hair loss. She has lost about one third of her fur.
When we received the call to save Mom and babies, we knew we had to act. We made an eight hour round trip to pick them up and took them to the vet. They are now safely in a foster home, where the pups get fed several times a day so Mom can recover her health. Mom also gets special foods to speed the weight gain.
We would greatly appreciate assistance with the cost of ongoing vet visits, puppy formula and the spay for the Mom once she has gained some weight back."
