For stray dogs in impoverished communities, Animal Aid offers hope. They respond when an animal in need cries out, even if it means risking their own lives. A stray mother dog had recently gone into labor all by herself. Her puppy was stillborn and became stuck in the birth canal. The mama dog was in severe pain and was crying out for help. Thankfully a caring neighbor heard her sobbing and called Animal Aid, an animal rescue organization that helps strays in need. They promised to send volunteers immediately knowing the dog could lose her life.
The puppy had made it impossible for the mother to wiggle. Unable to move, she was panting heavily. The volunteer knew he had to get her into the clinic quickly or there might be more deliveries.

The rescuer named the dog Apricot, and after taking her to the clinic, he discovered she had other puppies inside of her. She was put under heavy sedation and a c-section was performed, and Apricot recovered quickly.

The clinic was able to deliver six puppies in total. Having six puppies in one go was not something I ever imagined being able to see. It was an amazing sight because the dog, Apricot, woke up from sedation and connected with her new family. The six puppies appeared to have been born without complications too. Once the mother had nursed her puppies, another Animal Aid volunteer stayed with them because there was a chance that something could happen even though everything seemed fine.

Although all six puppies seemed healthy, three of them got very sick. No treatment worked and sadly the puppies crossed the Rainbow Bridge. There was a time when Apricot grieved her loss, but soon found herself with three puppies to care for and knew she needed to be strong for them.

After she recovered, Apricot and her puppies returned home with their dad. Many don’t understand, but foreign countries have a lot of stray animals that are left on the street because there is no way to get them all foster homes. Animal Aid does their best to help out by giving them food and medical care while caring citizens do what they can for the animals on a daily basis.

Animal Aid volunteers continue to check on Apricot and the puppies and make sure they were well-cared for and healthy. We are so grateful that Apricot was rescued in time.
