Upon learning about a pregnant dog stranded in a parking area of Tennessee, a rescuer from Nashville Dog & Cat Rescue decided she needed to take action.
The rescuer, Megan, discovered the dog roaming around in search of food.
This deeply saddened her, prompting her to seek a solution to assist the dog, though she understood the challenge ahead.
She Was Extremely Fearful Of Humans
Every time Megan approached to assist the pregnant canine, she would simply retreat from her. It was evident that she felt uneasy in the presence of others.
It’s likely that she had faced mistreatment previously and sought to safeguard her offspring from experiencing similar pain.
Being heavily pregnant, it was merely a matter of time before she delivered her puppies. Megan informed The Dodo: “And if something were to occur to her, no one would know where the puppies would be.”
That was when she recognized the urgency of the situation, compelling her to devise a plan to rescue her.
Initially, she attempted to entice the gentle dog with food, but the dog consistently avoided approaching. Eventually, after the dog gave birth, the strategy needed to shift.
The rescuers needed to devise a strategy to encourage the mother dog to guide them to her puppies. Clearly, she needed to conserve her strength to support her little ones.
As a result, she diligently sought food wherever it could be found. Megan intervened by placing an abundance of food in areas where the dog often lingered, accompanied by a humane trap.
Once the dog entered the trap, they would attach a tracking device to her, allowing them to locate the puppies. It was a clever plan, and all that remained was to be patient.
It was no surprise when the famished mama dog sought out food and stumbled upon the chicken left by her rescuers.
A Lovely Canine Family
Megan noticed that her strategy was effective, and only one last step remained. The mother dog had entered the humane trap and was now captured.
With the whole arrangement working smoothly, the anxious mother dog hurried back to her puppies. The rescuers could monitor her path, which brought them great relief.
The rescuers discovered that the canine family was taking shelter under a shed to keep warm, prompting Megan and her team to hurry to their rescue.
Upon locating them, they found out that this mother dog, now named Miranda, had given birth to 8 lovely and healthy puppies.
All were transported back to the shelter in Tennessee where they could receive food, hydration, and medical care.
After confirming that they were generally in good condition, the rescuers tended to them until they were ready for adoption.
When they had finally matured enough, all 8 puppies were quickly adopted into loving homes and their mother, Miranda, found a home as well.
They were fortunate to encounter such incredible rescuers. Thanks to Megan and the dedicated individuals at the shelter, these dogs are now enjoying their best lives.
