Mums with Bubs

Sadly, it is common for some people to suddenly decide to dump their dogs in the pound or surrender them to rescue when they are heavily pregnant. They are often young bitches around 12mths old (first season) who are lovely dogs but were just not desexed.

Often, due to the age of mum (immaturity), the possibility of infection whilst impounded, fear, stress, malnourished and generally neglected, some pups do not survive until 8wks old. Sadly, Death is also a reality of Rescue.

Thankfully, some dogs are great with their pups and all goes well.

This page is to allow you to follow very late stage pregnancy, Birth (that includes death), and the progress of Pups in care with their mums.

This page, I hope, also helps people to understand why Rescues fully support and encourage people to desex their pets. Helping to raise a litter of pups is not easy, cheap or always a joyful event.
