When a rescue group stumbled across a vulnerable family in a crowded city shelter, they instantly jumped into action. A popular video posted by @wagsandwalks shows how the rescue stepped in to save a mixed-breed dog and her puppies. This one-year-old mama shelter dog was actively nursing five tiny babies without a safe home in sight. The Los Angeles team quickly pulled the entire crew out of danger so they could heal together. After the puppies grew up and got adopted, the mother finally got her own turn to shine.
Mama shelter dog’s little babies find homes, so she’s now ready for her own second chance
The footage begins with the 40-pound pup walking straight up to a volunteer to beg for head scratches and immediately crouches when she gets them. The clip then rewinds to show her original whelping box inside a high-intake facility. Rescuers immediately took action to relocate the vulnerable family to their Los Angeles headquarters.
All through the video, we see that Mama Mia absolutely thrives on human interaction. She spends her afternoons handing out sloppy kisses and rolling over for endless belly rubs. She doesn’t miss a change to show off her big, goofy smile and a hilariously wiggly butt.
Since this video was an adoption appeal, we learn from the caption that this mellow girl is incredibly smart. And she could handle leash walks like an absolute professional. She also came potty trained and could easily live with another canine roommate given proper structure.
The nonprofit rescue group explained that mother dogs face a much harder time getting noticed than their offspring. They described her journey in the original post caption. The emotional video originally went live back in February and quickly pulled in over 3k likes.
Viewers rushed to the comments to praise her beautiful face and sweet demeanor. One fan called her an absolute heartbreaker. Another person commented that bringing a parent pup into your life is the best decision ever.
Fortunately, the story comes with a happy update. This spectacular mama shelter dog officially found her very own forever home after her babies left the nest.
