Dog rescue plan B:fail

We decided to wake up a bit earlier to try and grab out the puppies from their little fort again this morning.  Armed with milk and water we headed out.  When we arrived at the puppy site we could hear them waking up and making small chirping noises once we started calling out for them.

They were a bit more receptive this morning, and Niki was able to sit at the little hole in the grass and coax 5 puppies to come out.  as they came out she passed them to me and put them down into a large cardboard box lined with plastic and paper.  After 5 puppies emerged the rest of them weren't budging! :S  It looked like we were only going to be able to get 5 outa there.  Niki started feeding them milk and I went back to the hole and managed to get 1 more puppy out, for 6 in total.

The box was already starting to get full and we figured 6 puppies was all we were going to get for the day so we decided to head to the animal shelter with what we had.  We closed the box and lifted it into the back seat of the car.  Niki drove in the front and I rode in the back with our guests.

After driving for probably close to an hour and stopping multiple times for directions and finally resorting to the GPS unit, we arrived on a narrow road sandwiched between the South China Sea, and the jungle.  The GPS said we were only 100m away from our destination but there was literally nothing in site.  Then all of a sudden cut into the jungle was a clearing and there it was.  The Taoyuan Animal Protection Education Garden.  We had reached our destination :)

Niki parked the car and went into the building while I took out the puppy box and placed it in the shade.  Some of the puppies had had little "accidents" in the box so I proceeded with cleaning and letting them wander around a little bit.  They stayed close which was nice.

About 5 minutes later Niki came back with bad news.  I guess the puppies were too young (they were about a month old) and they needed to be old enough to not need milk.  So probably in another month would be better to come back.  Crap!  So we drove all the way out there for nothing.  At least the puppies got to go for a nice air conditioned car ride.

We drove back much quicker now that we knew the way, and we put the puppies back into their little fort in the field.  I can't really imagine taking all those puppies into the car in a month because of their size.  We're not really sure what to do but in a week or two we'll give it some more thought.  I'll keep you updated!
