American Humane Society removed eleven dogs that needed urgent medical attention from three properties near Dallas, TX. One of the dogs recovered was Sweetie, 1-year-old dog found in critical condition with a wounded, infected paw and a discovery that changed everything — she is pregnant with at least seven puppies.
To properly treat Sweetie, our Rescue Team is coordinating with local veterinarians on a thoughtfully phased care plan designed to protect both Sweetie and her pups.
Sweetie’s injured left front leg will ultimately need to be amputated, but veterinarians have determined the surgery must wait until after her puppies are safely delivered. In the days ahead, Sweetie will move to a safe, closely monitored environment where she will receive around-the-clock care as she approaches her due date. Once her puppies arrive, she will have a long road to motherhood and recovery. But she will not walk it alone.
Cases like Sweetie’s reflect our mission in its truest form: reaching animals in critical condition, providing expert veterinary intervention and guiding animals to safety and recovery.
Sweetie’s journey – from a rescue site in Texas, to giving birth, to surgery, to a life free from pain – requires resources, time and the dedication of veterinary professionals and rescue teams working every step of the way. Your support can help make that possible.
Every contribution supports the veterinary care, shelter and recovery services that animals like Sweetie urgently need.
Below you can see photos our rescue team have provided from the field. We’ll keep you updated here as the rescue progresses.
*Pet Insurance Gurus will match campaign contributions up to $25,000.
Please note: Any gift received surpassing the $25,000 matching gift will not be doubled but will continue to support all of American Humane Society’s life-changing and impactful programs.
