Our desire to look at and pet our little puppies from the moment they are born can be difficult to control. However, there are more important aspects that you need to pay attention to. The mother who gave birth to the puppies put a lot of effort into bringing them into this world. That’s why she deserves attention and love.
Unfortunately, this mother dog hasn’t really experienced this. This is the story of Dolly, an abandoned mother dog who tries to stay strong in order to save her puppies.
family in trouble
female dog and 9 puppies
Dolly, a five-year-old boxer, gave birth to nine beautiful puppies, but instead of giving the world nine new reasons to smile, she ended up being abandoned. When someone encountered them in a church parking lot in Abilene, Texas, they immediately posted on social media, hoping someone who could help would contact them.
Shortly after, Paw Angel Animal Rescue (PAAR) saw photos of this abandoned family and were happy to help. “My heart broke when I saw this photo. I called Angel and went to save the dogs,” Misty Berger said.
She and her dog-loving friend Angel Urban got in her car and went looking for the dogs. When they managed to find her, a frightened Dolly was found cradling nine puppies. Her puppies were less than two weeks old, and no matter how hard her mother tried to keep her puppies safe, she needed help. The puppies seemed fine, but Dolly was injured.
“They found a number of open, bleeding wounds on her,” Urban said.
Road To Recovery
They carefully loaded them into the back seat of the car and took them to the vet for treatment and checkups.
All of Dory’s wounds were treatable, but unfortunately, the vet found out that one of the pups had a more serious injury.
This pup, who was named Peach, was discovered to have a tumor in her throat. The tumor was keeping her from nursing properly, making it hard to swallow. As she grew, so would it, and since she was so small, surgical intervention was not possible.
Sadly, Peach had to be euthanized.
She leaves heavy hearts, but hope and resolve for her mom and eight siblings.
PAAR posted on their Facebook, sharing the devastating news.
Losing one of their own did leave this fluffy family shaken up. Luckily, with all of the help and love from the rescue, they were able to heal both physically and emotionally in no time.
New Life
Thankful for all of the support and donations, PAAR posted an update on how the family is doing and how the pups have grown so much.
Three of the pups have already found their forever home, full of love and adoration.
At the time of writing this article, Dory and the others are still living with their foster mom, Boerger, enjoying each passing day with each other full of playdates and cuddles.
Final Word
If you find yourself in the situation where after your dog has given birth, you can no longer give her what she needs, please do not give up on her so easily.
Your local shelter will happily take them in, care for them, and find them a new home in which they will be loved and adored. They deserve that!
As for Dory, being so brave and strong, many wanted to keep up with her life, so she got her very own fan page, and even appeared on the news! Check her out!
