We can't describe the feeling of finally catching all 8 puppies after a long, hot day. ☀️
Momma Dog was ready to be rescued, waiting patiently in a volunteer's car (no leash, no kennel simply sleeping while out of the sun with food and water) with the doors open and not a worry in the world about her puppies. The puppies loved the hazardous construction debris pile they called home, while we couldn't wait to show them there was a much safer world waiting for them.
After three pups were lured out with a makeshift canned food buffet, we knew it was time to bring out the big guns... their momma.
Momma would only venture into the construction pile if there was a cozy blanket waiting for her. One by one, the remaining five puppies came running to her. As soon as they did, we quickly scooped them up so we could begin preparing them for the next chapter of their lives.
That night, Momma Dog got a king-size bed all to herself—which she clearly knew she deserved. In fact, she jumped a 5-foot playpen fence to escape the puppies and begin her journey as a pampered pet. This sweet girl has shown us how brave, loyal, and intelligent she is. And don't even get us started on her wiggle butt every time someone walked over to her.
Her puppies quickly learned that regular meals, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love were pretty great, too.
✨️We are so grateful to have been part of the team that helped give these animals the fresh start they deserve.
🫶 A special thank you to Lander Valley Animal Hospital, and to Spay & Neuter Cruiser for sponsoring the first steps toward healthy, happy lives.
These animals have now been transferred to their next rescue partners. Please join us in wishing them all happy tails and bright futures! 🎉
