This anxious mother canine refused to place her trust in anyone until she was certain her puppies were safe and secure.
Initially mistaken as a stray, it turned out that this dog belonged to someone when the owner emerged to engage in conversation with the rescuers.
However, the owner was unable to provide for the needs of all nine dogs, having the means to care for only one.
Fortunately, Sidewalk Specials stepped in to lend a helping hand. Their primary objective was to ensure the safety and well-being of all the puppies before bringing the mother dog into their care.
Maria, the devoted mother, remained vigilant and restless until she was assured of her puppies’ welfare. Once her little ones were in good hands, Maria’s playful and youthful spirit would undoubtedly come to life!
