Experienced foster mom Kaitlin Devoto had no idea what breed or gender of dog she was getting save for the information that the pup was rescued from a puppy mill.

Devoto said, “I didn’t know a gender or age. The first time we knew what she looked like was when she arrived in Cincinnati when I picked her up.”

She noticed that the scared and skinny female standard red poodle was producing a little bit of milk.  She just chalked it up to a recent birth as even when they are still nursing at a puppy mill, their puppies are separated from them. 

Devoto scooped the dog and promised to give it nutritious meals and love and brought her home.

And after just four days, she woke up to a tiny poodle puppy with her foster. Upon checking she found out it was a singleton baby.

She immediately put warm blankets in the crate to make both mom and puppy comfortable.

She was happy to discover that the mom gave birth to a healthy male puppy that looked like a chicken nugget.

Devoto said, “He was very quickly named Chicky Nug. But I was stumped on a name for Momma that fit the same theme.”

Friends suggested Mickey D for Momma after McDonald’s and shortened it to Mickey.

The mom and puppy duo ended up as Mickey and Chicky.  They have blossomed under Devoto’s care and at 5 weeks, Chicky has developed into a fun and sassy puppy who loves running around and doing zoomies. Devoto added, “And he’s very interested in biting toes and toys.”

Mickey on the other hand has learned to shed her nervousness and is gaining confidence.

When Chicky turns 8 weeks old, he will be adopted into his forever home while Mickey will be up for adoption next month through Louie’s Legacy Animal Rescue.

Devoto will be sad to let them go but she will forever cherish the time that they have been together and she was able to show the mother and puppy the love they deserve.
