| Cookie, a 5yr b/w girl arrived here June 28th, complete with her family of 6 puppies. Her owners had dumped her and two males at a shelter. The day after they were dumped, Cookie whelped her litter in the kennel run at the shelter. Three days later, English Cocker Rescue pulled her and her pups from the shelter. We were contacted and agreed to take these puppies into American Cocker Rescue, as that is what they are. We also have 10 week old puppies who won't be available for adoption for a few weeks yet. We've listed below the items we needed to purchase to care for these two litters of puppies and their mothers Fortunately, with the difference in ages, we were able to re-use some of the equipment and supplies that we had purchased for the first litter. |

Frankly, I don't have time to keep track of every dollar spent -- like when we pick up items from the grocery store for weaning, and incidentals we pick up from WalMart. $15 here and $25 there, it all adds up quickly. |
