A man went on a hike one day and discovered that a homeless momma dog delivered puppies in the middle of the woods. He knew he had to do something but he had no idea what. He wasn’t even sure he’d be able to get close enough to the dogs. So instead, he contacted the charitable group Angela’s Ark, and its founder, Angela Marie, quickly responded.
Angela tagged along with her friend, and together, they rushed to the mountains to save the furry family. When they arrived, they saw the mom lying on the ground surrounded by eleven newborn puppies. They examined each of them but they had to be careful because they didn’t know whether she’d be overprotective of her babies.
Surprisingly, Sky, the mom, did not react at all. She was just so exhausted to even get up. She just lay there, waiting for someone to come and help. And when the rescuers finally showed up, she simply looked at them and let them do their job.
Sky was very cautious at first but she never demonstrated any signs of aggression. She just climbed into the makeshift bed her rescuers made and started nursing her puppies. The next day, however, she warmed up and showed them some affection.
With the help of her rescue family, Sky started raising her puppies impeccably. Sadly, she tested a strong positive for heartworms and mastitis. She was hospitalized and needed to be away from them sooner than expected.
All 11 puppies grew up big and strong and in no time, they were put up for adoption. Angela was happy and sad to see them go but she knew it was for the best. After, all, she made sure to pick only the most suitable families for them.
Meanwhile, Sky underwent surgery and she took her time recovering. She started her first heartworm treatment once she was stable and like a true warrior, she walked out of the hospital firm and strong.
Sky is still under treatment but she’s doing great and she’s enjoying her time in her foster home. Soon, she, too, will end up in her forever home.
