Last week, a call had come through about a dog in desperate need of help in Naivasha. The report was grim, a dog unable to bear weight on her leg and seemed to be in severe pain. First thing that came to mind was a hit and run that left her fractured. When we finally reached her, the reality was even harder than anticipated. Her leg was bruised and as we started to assess the damage, we noticed her elongated teats which meant she was actively nursing.
The caller hadn't known. We had'nt prepared for it, but there it was. Puppies in a shrub crying waiting for mum who was hoping around in pain. Not one🫠, not two 🙀 but SEVEN 🤯 tiny puppies were there. I was genuinly left in shocked after i remembered we have over 80 dogs at home and 19 puppies. Leaving the mother meant a near certain death from infection as wounds were deep, which would spell a quiet, tragic end for her tiny, helpless puppies left behind. Taking her meant taking her entire litter, adding more mouths to feed and urgent medical needs to an already full and fully stretched resources.
It was a tough choice, but in animal rescue, love always tilts the scale. We choose life. We took the mom and her nursing pups and brought where she could receive the immediate veterinary treatment, warmth, and quiet care she needed to heal and feed her babies safely. Her wounds had started to get infected but after a few days of disinfecting, she was stitched.
Please support us in anyway so that we can give this family the attention it requires.
