They try to find new homes, especially for those little puppies that would be born, and Mommy would also get spayed...so, she wouldn't have to keep going through getting pregnant again and again! Seems like there must be some rescue org. in your area which would take phone calls from concerned citizens. It would not hurt to call and ask them what information you'd need to give them...perhaps it could be as simple as just letting them know where the Momma Dog is living. (Then your hubby wouldn't feel like he was getting involved.)

Too late!!! We are very involved. Mom and puppies which are going to be 3 wks. old tomorrow have been with us since the beginning of this thread. All are doing great!!!
