Mother’s Day 2023 is fast approaching and we at PupVine can’t help ourselves but to make it memorable.
We all love our moms and wish them only the best, not just on Mother’s Day. Still, we can’t forget some other special girls in our lives… our doggies.
Some are moms, some will soon experience that blessed role. But, all of them are stunning preggo doggies.
To honor mothers, we’ve done a special piece of work. Today, you’ll read about one special pregnant dog, Adira… a mommy that was on the edge, but was miraculously rescued together with her pups.
But, that’s not all! Stay here until the end to see what special treat we have for you!
Adira’s Magical Rescue
When all your hopes are down and everything seems like it has come to an end, there’s still one tiny beacon of hope.
Adira didn’t lose all her hopes. She sat there, locked in her cage, praying and believing a miracle would come and imagining she would be saved.
And, the rescue did come! Her name was Brie Willis.
When Brie first saw Adira, she knew she had to help her immediately. The poor Staffordshire Terrier girl was heavily pregnant, locked in a cage that was far too small for her, and covered in her own filth.
That wasn’t a place for a mom to be. That wasn’t a place for any dog!
Willis took Adira straight to the vet where the poor girl was examined. It turned out that this mommy-to-be was expecting a large litter of 10 puppies any day. Needless to say, Willis was just in time to save Adira before it was too late.
Being found in a tiny cage in terrible conditions, Willis assumed that it wasn’t Adira’s first time to be a mom. She saw a lot of cases of overbreeding and Adira was clearly one of them.
That’s why Willis decided it was about time to do something special to Adira… to show her that pregnancy can be a wonderful experience.
They decided to give Adira a maternity photoshoot to celebrate her final litter!
The Day Of The Shoot
The idea of a maternity photoshoot and celebrating a pregnancy has become one of the sweetest trends ever. Adira was about to jump on the bandwagon, too!
“We wanted the world to see what we saw in this amazing girl. She had been failed by humans so many times and it absolutely broke our hearts. Even after all the pain she had endured, and being forced to have multiple litters, we wanted to celebrate her final litter,” said Willis.
Willis found a professional photographer, Lauren Gray, and the photoshoot began.
Adira was so excited about her special day, as if she knew everything was about her that day.
“She got lots of treats and eventually decided she would sit still for us to get some great shots. We had originally planned for the flower crown to be on for all the photos, but that lasted a whole 30 seconds! So, we got a little creative, and that’s when we tried the crown on her belly, and it ended up being my absolute favorite of the bunch.”
Adira adored her special day. She enjoyed lots of treats, cuddles, and praises, and felt an immense amount of love. She’s truly a blessed doggie and she will be the best mom, too!
Update On The Litter
After 28 hours of labor, Adira gave birth not to 10, but 12 of her puppies on Valentine’s Day in Valentine’s Second Chance Animal Shelter. What a lovely coincidence!
Mommy and her little ones were all feeling great, getting ready for their adoption.
Before they all went to their new furever families, Valentine’s Second Chance Animal Shelter organized another photoshoot for Adira and her babies. It was a campaign to promote Adira’s case and to encourage people to adopt her and her babies.
Fortunately, almost half of Adira’s litter found their furever homes in a few short weeks after their birth.
By the middle of April, there were five puppies left to be adopted. But, taking into account how sweet mommy is and how lovable her babies are, the adoption process will be closed soon.
According to my latest knowledge, only two puppies are still free for adoption, along with their mommy, Adira. Hurry up and visit Valentine’s Second Chance… a rescue organization that does wonders in Kansas City.
Maybe you could be a proud owner of one of these sweet babies!
But, Wait… We Have More!
Hold on! That’s not all!
Inspired by Adira’s wonderful photoshoot, I did my digging and found some equally stunning maternity photoshoots. Of course, they’re all featuring our lovely canine girlfriends.
