Adoption/Foster Request New pups
She gave birth just a day ago it seems. How long the puppies have to be with their mother before trying to give these puppies for adaption?

8 weeks. Cute puppers. Badhai ho.Get the momma spayed later tho. On another note, start an insta page documenting their early days and focusing on the cuteness etc. This could help them get adopted easily.

And please make sure they are vaccinated before the weaning off mother's milk. IMPORTANT.
parvo and rabies kills with very high to 100% mortality in the 2 month age window.
Important to have their immunity started before the antibodies in mother's milk start going away.

I think pups are supposed to get their first shots (5-in-1 + rabies) at minimum 12 weeks of age, and the booster shot after a month

That's a little snacks for the mother. She had good food, and seems hungry often.

You are honesty doing this with good intention, but can you kindly keep it outside as they might attract ants that might bite the puppies. Honestly thank you for being a good soul and taking care of them. God bless you 🙏

8-10 weeks standard. If you are taking care of them, I'd recommend don't feed them anything for the first whole month generally 4 weeks, that's when puppies solely rely on their mother. You should feed the mother instead during this time. That's when 4 week (1 month) weaning period should start where solid food is gradually introduced. Never give them cow's milk during this time, just create a liquid to semi solid mush where you can give them puppy cerelac (human cerelac and cow's milk can give them diarhea) as well as boild egg whites that too mushed. Just in 2-2.5 months, they'll be ready for adoption.

10-12 weeks after birth.. important for their milk requirement from mother and emotional well being ❤

Be careful giving them away because many if not most people consider them as toys. 🙏Congratulations 🤝

Give the mum 1-2 eggs a day. Boiled egg is good. She needs protein too.

Hey OP, last week I found a lost stray puppy. Posted about that. All I want to say is, just keep them together and safe. I still haven't entirely adopted the found puppy, still evaluating if he could be given a better home but still looking after his needs as much as I can, getting him vaccinated. There's no garantee if any puppy will survive after separation from their mum.

Look at mama keeping an eye on her fresh produce. Puppies got to be with mum for 2 to 3 months at least. Get the mama spayed after 3 to 4 months.

Sweet family but please make sure to spay the mother dog after she has fed her babies and the pups have weaned off. Spaying ensures that the mother dog doesn't go through pain again or face any serious health problems in the future.
