Upon receiving a call concerning a lost mother Labrador who had recently whelped in a very secluded region, a non-profit animal rescue organization based in Los Angeles, California knew they had to take action.
Upon their arrival at the site, the rescue crew discovered that this mission would not be as straightforward as they had first anticipated.
Rescue Mission
Given that the mother dog was concealed within some foliage, the rescuers were uncertain about how to approach her.
They attempted to slowly crawl closer, but as soon as the mother noticed them, she started growling in an effort to defend her offspring.
The team, under the guidance of Eldad Hagar and Loretta Franco, devised an ingenious method to win over the protective mother.
They acquired some burgers and presented them to the mother one at a time. Upon realizing how delightful they were, they decided to withhold the final burger to entice her to come forward.
Fortunately, the strategy succeeded and the mother followed the enticing burger, allowing her head to slip through a leash the team cleverly positioned.
Having safely extricated the mother dog from the bushes and to a more secure location, they then returned to rescue the puppies.
Regrettably, the puppies were situated in an extremely tough-to-reach area, requiring the team to exert their utmost efforts to access them and ensure their safety during the rescue.
The courageous mother awaited patiently to be reunited with her seven puppies, all still having their umbilical cords attached.
The team successfully secured all the puppies and returned them to their mother, transporting the family in the vehicle to commence their new journey.
Little Family
Upon reaching the Hope for Paws facility in Los Angeles, the lovely family recognized that they were in safe care and the mother dog could at last relax.
In such a nurturing atmosphere, the puppies blossomed into healthy and robust dogs, thus beginning their search for the ideal home to enjoy their lives.
And indeed, they succeeded! Before long, both the mother and her entire litter located a forever home filled with affection, settling in immediately upon arrival.
Importance Of Rescues
This narrative serves as yet another reminder of the significance and remarkable nature of rescues and shelters.
Thanks to the commitment of this Los Angeles rescue, eight dogs were rescued and placed into homes that exhibit nothing but warmth and care towards them.
Additionally, many more pups are in need of the same support!
Research conducted by Hepper reveals that approximately 4.1 million animals are adopted annually in the U.S. This is truly remarkable!
However, there remain animals that continue to wait hopefully to be rescued or adopted. Thus, please visit your local shelter and lend a helping hand… such assistance is always appreciated!
