PG Humane Society looks to rehome accidental litter

Oct 28, 2024 | 2:17 PM

PRINCE GEORGE—The Prince George Humane Society has a litter of Rough Collie-German Shepherd pups and each one is just as adorable as the last. While you can visit them and even adopt one, they won’t be ready for their new home until they’re eight weeks old.

“We do want to hang on to them and keep them together, until they’re eight weeks old for socialization,” explains Kelsey Macneil, a registered vet tech and animal behaviour coordinator for the Prince George Humane Society. “It’s really important for them to learn social skills from each other.”

These puppies have had one round of vaccines but the Prince George Humane Society says the pups will be needing a few more vaccines to make sure they are fully protected. Macneil says that the one big risk in Prince George is Parvovirus.

“It is a huge issue in our community, and surrounding area. Parvovirus can be deadly. It is a disease that mostly affects unvaccinated puppies and is the primary reason that vaccinating puppies is so important in our area,” notes Macneil.
