When they needed the most love and tenderness from their owners, a mama dog and her babies were dumped at an abandoned house in Arkansas.
Scared for the safety of her precious babies, the mother dog found them a shelter under the house and hid them there.
With a heavy heart, she snuggled to her puppies, feeling helpless and let down.
As her children huddled next to her, soaking up her love, the mama dog gathered strength to fight for them.
She felt determined to protect her babies the best way she could.
Joining Forces In Saving The Dog Family
After an experienced animal rescuer named Shyan Noah saw a Facebook post about the abandoned dog family, she rushed to help them.
Before Noah reached the address, other rescuers tried to bring them to safety, but the frightened mama refused to accept their help.
While she wasn’t paying attention, the rescue team managed to capture a few of her puppies.
As soon as Noah arrived at the spot, she saw the canine who had a sorrowful expression on her tired face.
The rescuer decided to gain her trust.
Noah sat beside the pooch and gave her some food. She talked to her, trying to convince her that she was there to help.
Although she badly needed assistance, the mama dog couldn’t bring herself to trust humans with her precious babies.
The kind-hearted woman didn’t give up.
She started hand-feeding the pup, and little by little, the mother dog started letting her guard down.
The good human felt glad when the doggo finally let her caress her.
“I was able to gain Mama’s trust enough to let me feed her out of my hand and give her short little pets,” Noah told The Dodo.
Since the canine continued to be cautious and distrustful, the rescuers decided to set a humane trap and lure her in.
They rejoiced when they finally succeeded in rescuing her.
After the mama dog was safe, the good humans focused on saving the puppies.
The babies were as frightened as their mama, and they kept hiding under the house. For days, they avoided being captured.
Puppies Are Finally Secure
Luckily, the rescuers managed to outsmart the furballs, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The puppies were infested with ticks and fleas.
At first, the babies felt threatened, and they were very reactive toward their rescuers.
However, it didn’t take long for the rescuers to gain their trust. They fed them and covered them with cuddles. The adorable babies began feeling secure.
One of the rescuers fell in love with the mama dog and gave her a forever home.
Noah brought the puppies to her home in order to foster them. They are thriving and healing.
The energetic and playful furballs always keep their foster family active and alert.
“[They] are happy, healthy little escape artists. They love squeezing through the gates of their foster room and into the rest of the house with everyone else,” Noah added.
NOVASTAR RESCUE, based in Dover, Arkansas, promised to help the puppies find their forever families.
I’m sure that the sweet pups will capture the hearts of loving humans who will give them all the happiness that they deserve.
