The diva family is fostering 7 puppies that are 4 weeks old – they had to be seperated from their mother who was too weak to care for them.
In a moment of weakness Dude talked me into this adventure. They have been dubbed the Runyan Miracle Puppies by their rescuer, comedian Rebecca Corry.
Read the full story of their rescue – the short version is it took Rebecca a week to talk their owner into surrendering them to her, the babies were near death and the mother not much better.
The mother has been fostered, but was unable to care for the babies. The diva family stepped in to foster the babies until they are old enough to be place in homes.
To donate to their care, Rebecca has set up this fund through Chip-In.

Lil’ Pip – just went to the vet. He’s very seriously ill. We’re not sure if he’ll make it. We’ll keep you posted.
Lil Pip - aka "Runty"

Lil Pip was taken to heaven. The little fighter didn’t make it. We are so glad that he spent the entire morning cuddling with Lil Diva on his last day.

Coco and Captain Morgan both went to their forever families tonight! We are so happy for them. There are 4 lil guys who are still looking for homes! Dude is really hoping that Bella’s forever home is OUR home and of course Lil’ Diva is just assuming that is the case!
The negotiations are in full swing!

{{hugs}} May he rest in peace, sweet, sweet little puppy.
Sorry to hear about Lil Pip and you are awesome to do this!What kind of dogs are they?
So sorry to hear about your loss. It is so hard to lose a puppy after you fight so hard for them. I too lost a little guy a few months back and it just breaks my heart that I couldn’t do more for him. I’m sure Puppy heaven is wonderful place and maybe he is playing with my little one now.
OMG – I’m at work right now and trying not to cry.
I always have a soft spot for the runts. Well, I’m glad you’re saving the rest of them. Good job Diva family!! 
Aw, how wonderful that you can help. And what a great experience for the whole family. I hope the rest of the pups find loving homes soon!
