I'm looking to adopt or foster orphan puppies as my dog only had 1 puppy can u help?

Answer 1

I applaud you generous, kind idea. You would be helping save a life. Do not let anyone's ar*sed comments here stop you.
It did and does not cross my mind one moment that you would intend to keep the puppies you might adopt unless you had them spayed or neutered soon. Probably you will spay or neuter your little girl and her puppy ASAP anyway.
Besides, there is great reward in adopting, and I think a greater reward in fostering orphan puppies. It is giving a chance at life to the most vulnerable of the word's inhabitants, and most dependent.
I have known two people who do the same thing with puppies and kittens. One fostered wild birds and pigeons! Twice one woman has taken abandoned kitten for me, not mine, one found in my yard, another, a single kitten born to a mother with no milk was taken at about two hours old. It and one (just born) abandoned in my garden when my dog ran the mother off would have died without a particular woman's kindness.
As far as helping, I am not sure where to have you start, but a local vet may give you a lead. Eventually, when I have time and money, I plan to foster puppies along with my two mature but friendly older dogs. It will be good for all. The only reason I do not now is I must travel between two homes for uni purposes, with the two in my little car.

Contact the RSPCA and Dogs Trust; they may have orphan puppies that need a foster mum, as long as the pups are introduced properly (and the younger the better) there hopefully won't be a problem.
The pups need to be washed to remove their scent, then wet in the same water that the solitary pup to pick up its scent. Then present all the pups helpless, wet and outside of the nest.
That should arouse Mums nurturing instinct and fingers crossed she'll pick them all up, take them beck to the nest and lick them dry.
Although I've never heard of it done with one pup; dogs can count up to 3 and she might realise that there are too many! It works with pups mixed into a litter of 4 or more.

Hand rearing orphan pups isn't a good idea, it causes behavioural problems later and a dogs home might be grateful for a foster parent. Plus it'll be better for your pup to have company.

I set up 0.5 my storage as an issolation ward the place i will domicile 2 canine at a time. Do a seek in yahoo communities for a team referred to as fosterdogs, rather everyone there is amazingly effectual.

Answer 4

Don't adopt more, foster. Call your local shelters and humane society, they can tell you what is involved with fostering, so you can make an informed decision.

I foster (though mostly cats and kittens) and work in rescue, foster homes are ALWAYS needed, but not everyone is cut out to be a foster "parent".

Most shelters have guidelines for their foster homes, and they need to inspect you home, do some research, while it is a noble idea and cause, not everyone is cut out for it.

Answer 5

I'm guessing you want to help orphaned pups rather than the selfish motives some less charitable responses are suggesting!
In which case - good for you.
Speak to your vet as s/he is sure to know of any that need fostering and can give you good advice about how to go about it.
Good luck!

Answer 6

If you are unethically breeding dogs, then you shouldn't get another puppy. Learn what being a responsible owner/breeder is *and then* consider getting another dog. Let your current dogs just be your pets. Don't turn them into breeding machines and puppy mills so that you can have a houseful of baby animals.

Be careful if you do. We had orphan puppies once and took them to a nursing mother, she killed them all by crusing their head in her mouth. Not a pretty site.
