8 Puppies Saved, Fighting to Live

Wags & Walks was called in to rescue a litter of 8 puppies....  someone found a stray pregnant pitbull, they brought her home and took care of her through the birth of her pups.  Another rescue organization took the mom dog when she was done nursing, but the pups needed a rescue to help them - that's where we came in.


We could not have imagined what we were stepping into - the pups were in severe, critical condition.  Emaciated, weak, covered in fleas, filthy, living outside in the dirt, receiving nothing but table scraps to eat. 

The two smallest puppies were barely alive, suffering from severe hydrocephalus which is a build up of fluid around the brain.  Straight to the vet for immediate intervention.  We are providing supportive nurturing care to the survivors, hoping they will all rebound from this.  The two tiny pups are not out of the woods but the rest of the litter seems to be doing ok, getting stronger and healthier every day.  We are hoping the two with hydrocephalus will pull through.
