“When we stumbled upon this heart-wrenching image of a mother dog and her nine two-week-old puppies abandoned in a blue plastic bin in the parking lot of North Side Baptist Church in Abilene, Texas, it left us outraged.
But thanks to a compassionate individual who shared their photo on social media, the message reached the right people.
When the image circulated online, two selfless volunteers from Paw Angel Animal Rescue immediately came to the rescue of these canines from their dire situation.
“I saw the picture, and it just broke my heart, and I called Angel, and we went and rescued the dogs,” said Misty Boerger, one of the volunteers. “I just don’t know how someone could do that, leaving mama and 2-week-old babies.”
The mama dog, a five-year-old Boxer, was visibly frightened and needed urgent care. She was covered in numerous wounds that were open and continuously draining. The volunteers wasted no time and safely transported the dog family for medical checkups.
Dory, as she’s now known, along with her surviving eight puppies, is thriving in their new foster home and getting healthier day by day. Unfortunately, one of the pups didn’t make it; he had a throat tumor and had to be euthanized.
Paw Angel Animal Rescue has been providing regular updates on Dory and her eight surviving babies. We’re delighted to report that they’re now in good health and are expected to be available for adoption in the near future.

Wagging her tail in a desperate attempt to get assistance before giving up on life, this homeless puppy makes one last plea.
The puppy was suffering from distemper and recognized she was dying. When she saw somebody passing by, she asked for help one last time.
Distemper is one of the leading causes of death among unvaccinated street dogs. This infectious virus, which targets the breathing, gastrointestinal and central nervous systems of dogs, is often deadly.
In this video, we watch Animal Help Unlimited staff try to rescue a young homeless young puppy suffering from distemper.
The dog had actually been infected for weeks but had no treatment because the baby was homeless. She was eventually found collapsed by a roadside, wagging her tail in the hopes of seeking rescue.
The rescue team realized the canine was dying, but they intended to provide it a possibility to recover. She got intensive care for 2 week, which included antibiotics and fluids.
In spite of her excruciating discomfort, the dog was grateful to have humans look after her for the first time in her life.
She was gradually getting better every day! It was a magical moment for the grooming team when the puppy restored the strength to fit on all fours and walk again!
She was so overjoyed at her victory that she rushed towards her rescuers and hugged them tightly. Her bright smiles and unlimited waving of her tail brightened our day!
