All of the pups are now living in loving homes and doing great. Hera has also found herself a marvelous home and is doing great--just so happens her owners dropped by yesterday to pick up a HART calendar which features Hera on the cover (and several of the pups throughout the calendar!) They report that she is a terrific girl, and enjoying a wonderful, happy life.
Yesterday we received an update from one of the adopters who have Kiowa (formerly known as Mr. Slushy Pants)--here's what they had to say.

Hello There Newf Friends!! Well today is Kiowa's  1st birthday. He wants to let his Mom Hera and his siblings know that he is  doing great and is a typical teenager...bit of a tease to his house sister  Willow but is growing into a loving, loyal, very funny and very handsome fellow.  He is well loved.
 Please tell his Mom's rescuers that we are all very  thrilled that you helped Hera and her puppies!
 We thought we would send along a few pics for you   to see how he looks today.
 Merry Christmas and again Happy  Birthday!
 Cynthia, Michael, Willow &  Kiowa


UPDATE: December 10: Another update from an adopter. Here's what beautiful Khera's (aka Minnie-Me) family has to say :
Khera is doing great. Everyday she accompanies me with her two best friends -  Chaz the Bernese Mountain dog and Riley the Jack Russell, up to the barn to feed  my welsh ponies. She also has frequent visits with a family friend who owns two  Alaskan Malamute puppies - Lakota and Cree, although they can't keep up with  her! Apart from her chewing "a few" pairs of shoes and burying her bones in the  garden, she has been a great puppy. I can't believe she is already a year old! I  credit her low maintenance personality to her buddy Chaz, they are inseparable  and he is VERY tolerant of her playful puppy ways. Khera is very happy that the  snow has finally come. She is right at home outside in the drifts of snow and  chilly weather in Collingwood. I couldn't ask for a better dog. I grew  up hoping I would own a husky one day, and Khera has definitely lived up to my  expectations. If any of Khera's siblings are ever in our area, I would love to  take them out together. Hope everyone is enjoying their Hera puppies as much as  I am. Thank you everyone who aided in the rescue of these fantastic dogs. 
 I have attached a few photos of Khera, she really does look a lot like her  beautiful mother.

Dixie  is a wonderful lively, personable psychotic husky :o) When  she’s not chewing toys, shrubs, small animals or her brother you can find her  creating a new depression in the lawn, hehe. Seriously, she’s such a sweet  little girl and we love her so much. Her and her recued brother Mason have an  inseparable bond and they play the days away. 
I  can’t believe how closely they all look to each other, like clones. How is the  mom doing?
Have  you heard from the other adopters? Would be neat to communicate with  them.

Hi Sandra and all,
 Thanks for posting updates on Vega sister and brother. It's nice to hear  and see pictures of them on there first birthday. Here's a few pictures of Vega,  like every one else she is a wonderful dog. Unfortunately, I'm not as good as  you with the camera!! I need lessons!
 Thanks Francine

Hello everyone...Luna has just celebrated her first  birthday and she is having the time of her life...she is mischievous and very  talkative...she looooves stealing your seat and then telling you WHY she should  be allowed to still sit there...and has found her forever friends in Molly and  Bear.
 Thanks again Newf Friends...she is an amazing dog  and worthy and deserving of all the love she receives...All the best to Hera and  Hudson....and her pups....may you all be as happy as we all are...
 The update on Mr. Slushy Pants is  awesome...
 Take Care
 Sincerely Jesse  and Family
 UPDATE: Here's the latest from Aurora's family!
Hello! We are the proud parents of Aurora previously known as Athena. She is a gorgeous, cuddly one and we just love her to bits as an addition to our home. She loves her brother Blue very much and has had a few run ins with our two kitties. She tried to have one as a snack early in her stay but Lucifer is fine and Aurora is learning that she can't play as rough with the kitties as her big brother. She has managed to get herself into a little bit of everything however. From going through the trash, the compost, anything we left in sight really! But again she is getting better and better. She loves to dig little land mines through out the yard but we absolutely love her to death and she is the perfect balance we need in our home. She fits in perfect, she's just such a ham all the time! She is always very happy to see everybody thatg comes over and loves meeting new friends. I'm more than willing to get the dogs together as I think it would be amazing to see them all together again! (or at least some)
I'll attach some pics for you!
Missie and Adam
