Today we all celebrate moms - the ones who are with us and those who are not. The job of a mom is a tough one, just like it was for Giselle, who had given birth to 8 puppies out on the streets of Compton.
Giselle got to see five of her babies being taken away by people, and then she got to see one get hit by a car and die. The last two puppies, Ophelia and Philomena, never allowed Loreta Frankonyte or me to pet them... they cautiously approached to take food from us, and then they would retreat.
In cases like this, it is critical to get the most challenging dog first (the mom) and only then get the babies. As you can see in this video, we could have had the babies very quickly, but I couldn't risk spooking the mom and losing her forever.
On day 2 of this rescue, Loreta and I arrived in two separate cars; we brought ALL our equipment, spent a couple of hours setting up this rescue, and then it DID NOT go as expected!!! 😄
We always have to improvise as we go and I hope you will enjoy this video.
It's springtime, and in the animal kingdom, it is baby season. We are busy with so many rescues, CARES is always full, and the cost of veterinary care is very high.
If you haven't done so yet, please become a $5 monthly donor to help us cover the medical bills, and we will send you a Lucky Leash as a small thank you: www.HopeForPaws.org/Lucky_Leash
If you would like to adopt Giselle, Ophelia or Philomena, please contact our friends here: www.TheLittleRedDog.org
Thank you so much!
