Abandoning a dog is bad enough as it is. But abandoning a pregnant dog in the middle of the desert is about as bad as it comes. Unfortunately, dogs often end up in situations like this because some people are just cruel.
A Californian animal rescue, Hope For Paws, received a text about a mama dog that had been abandoned in the desert along with her six puppies. She had actually given birth to her puppies in that desert.
Thankfully, the mama and the babies found refuge at a plant nursery. The people who took care of the nursery were kind enough to give the dogs food and water. They are also the ones who reached out to the rescue for help.
The founder of the rescue, Eldad, drove three hours to pick the dogs up. When the mama saw her rescuer, she came right up to her. She immediately perked up and started wagging her tail. Moon, the mama, sensed that she was being rescued, so she didn’t protest when Eldad picked up her puppies.
Eldad made sure everyone was safe and drove back to Los Angeles. When they reached the rescue, the dogs were all examined by a vet. Unfortunately, they found that Moon had eye infections in both eyes due to a condition called entropion. On the plus side, all the puppies are healthy.
And, after they are weaned, their mama will receive surgery to treat her condition. Soon after they arrived in LA, the dogs were placed in a foster home. They will stay there until some kind-hearted people will adopt them.
