    Hey Julie,

    Pregnant moms and moms with litters are my jam.  You can start here https://worldreadypets.com/resources. My most useful articles would probably be:

    AVSAB Position Statement On Puppy Socialization
    Beginner's Guide to Whelping Puppies
    Ultimate Whelping Box Guide for Fosters, Breeders and Pet Owners
    Easy Trick to Crate Training Puppies Under 8 Weeks
    Puppy Socialization: 5 Big Mistakes to Avoid
    Puppy Socialization: Interview with Dr. Ian Dunbar
    The Key to Stronger Puppies and Kittens - Is Early Neurological Stimulation Enough?
    How to Stop Puppy Whining and Prevent Separation Anxiety

    I am in the process of developing an entire video training series on how to raise a stable, well socialized litter of puppies that are much less likely to develop behavior problems that often cause them to be surrendered to shelters. It will include a free 1 hour webinar on the basics of fostering puppies that will, hopefully, encourage more people to foster puppies and reduce the number of dogs that are returned to the shelter. I love talking about this stuff so feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss further : )

    How about this one, Julie? @aly martinez from Pensacola Humane Society shared their Puppies and Mom Foster Heroes Guide in the forum library earlier this year. It's very thorough and would be a really helpful resource for mom w/puppy fosters. ​

    Yes we have one that you are more than welcome to refer to! I've also attached our Queens and Kittens Handbook. Please let me know if you have further questions at all :)
