Poor babies!!!!
Do what your heart tells you.
One problem is, are they healthy?
Especially if they are treated like that.
You don't want to bring any diseases into your home.
1st think about your animals, then your heart.
I place my pups at 9 - 10 weeks. I also
have them wormed and start their shots.
They also have to be eating on their own.
My pups are always clean, that is so sad
Good luck, You seem to have a big Heart
And a big decision.
