"We took in a stray mom a couple months ago that was pregnant, and she had seven puppies," says executive director Becky French.
French says the mother is believed to be a Corgi-Husky mix and weighs about 25 pounds.
According to French, Altuve, Dusty, Correa and Pressly already have a home, but the other pups are available for adoption.
Special Pals is open for adoptions Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
Potential adopters will need to complete an application for review. Puppy adoptions are $250, and the dogs will be microchipped, vaccinated and spayed or neutered.
