Nutmeg and her unborn babies rested at a foster home who made sure they were prepared for Nutmeg's birth. Two weeks ago, she safely gave birth to 5 puppies, four males, and one female. We are calling them the Spice Puppies (Chai, Clove, Cinnamon, Coriander & Cardamom). Nutmeg developed diarrhea after the pregnancy but this sweetie has healed since and the babies are doing great. Rescuers are looking to raise funds to provide great care for Nutmeg and her puppies. We are asking for donations in order to help cover vet bill expenses and to eventually get these pups neutered and spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Thank you for your kindness and support!

After her owner fell on hard times, it proved difficult to take proper care of Nutmeg. They trusted a relative to care for her in the meantime, but upon receiving Nutmeg back, it was clear that she was tragically neglected and became impregnated at the risky senior age of nine.
This 9-year-old Pomeranian pup was severely neglected while in the temporary care of an owner's relative; that's when OC Pom Rescue stepped in to take care of Nutmeg. It was suspected that this sweet girl was pregnant and ultimately tests confirmed the pregnancy at the vet.. Luckily, her bloodwork came back normal and it seemed she had had litters before, but given her senior age and unknown medical history along with a year of neglect, we were concerned.
