The saying goes, “Adopt, don’t shop,” and for good reason. It’s always sad when dogs are taken in, only to be thrown out to the streets once owners are tired of them. More often than not, their chances of survival outdoors aren’t very high, since they have no one to care for them and make sure they are warm and well fed. Sadly, this is the fate of many dogs in America, whether they were abandoned by their owners, or they ended up on the street for other reasons. And if they’re pregnant and about to give birth, it gets even more dangerous for them, as well as their newborn puppies. Thankfully, there are some organizations that dedicate themselves to rescue these dogs, and finding them forever homes where they can be safe and loved. They take dogs off the streets, neuter and spay them, give them medical care, and find loving families that are willing to take them.
Hope for Paws is one of these organizations, and when they got called in about a stray pit bull who had given birth in someone’s yard, they came to the rescue. But it’s what happened after saving the mother and her adorable puppies, that really had them worried. Keep reading to get all the details of this incredible rescue story.

It was late at night when the Hope for Paws organization, based in Los Angeles, California, received a phone call. The caller told them about a stray pit bull who was found in their yard. The dog had just given birth, and the owners of the house were not able to approach or get close to her or the newborn puppies. When stray dogs give birth on the street, the chances of survival for them, as well as for newborns, are often slim – something had to be done fast. The animal rescue organization was called in to take the pit bull and her puppies away, and find them all new homes.
