My son adopted Ginger through Hope's Haven when they were in Dayton. He had her for a week and suddenly, she got really big so he took her to a vet and yes, Ginger was pregnant. Hope's Haven offered to take Ginger back but Michael was already very attached to her.
Ginger had 10 puppies 10 days after he had adopted her. Hope's Haven offered to take Ginger and the puppies back but Michael with my help for a couple of weeks, kept them for 2 months then took them to to Petco or Pet-smart, can't remember which, and Hope's Haven placed them with people or families. They sell the puppies for $200.00 each and Michael very generously let them keep the money because, of course, this money helps to cover their overhead. We kept two of the puppies, Pearl and Ruby.
After a few months, my son changed jobs so his time with Ginger was going to be far less so I brought her to live with us on our five acres of natural forest of fir, maple and oak trees We already had Angus, our big lab/mastiff mix.
I had already spent a lot of time with Ginger so she was very, very happy living with us and she fell in love with Angus.
That was eleven years ago but sadly, our beautiful Angus died of bone cancer almost three years ago.
Anyway, Hope's Haven is a great place to adopt or give very young puppies to for placement.
