Pregnant And Lost

When a dog pregnant with nine puppies was found in a bad condition wandering on the streets, someone took her to the public shelter in South Carolina. The overcrowded shelter was on the verge of euthanizing this dog when Halfway There Rescue intervened and arranged a foster home for the dog.

Halfway There Rescue

Halfway There Rescue was founded not so long ago by an animal lover Sarah Lewis and is currently run by 4 women. They rescue dogs from roads, streets and even other shelters if they get to know that the animal is going to be euthanized. They try to find loving foster and adoption homes for these dogs and that’s what they did for this 3-year-old too. 

Heartbreaking

The 3-year-old dog was named Daya and she managed to find a foster home. She was taken to the vet by her foster mother but after her X-ray, a heartbreaking news came forward. Daya was all excited and ready to have her babies but the vet gave her rescuers a really bad news. A video by The Dodo attached ahead, captures the entire ordeal. 

Bad News

In an interview with The Dodo, Jennifer Werner, a rescue volunteer said, “X-rays showed no evidence of living babies. Her nine puppies were in the process of being absorbed by her body. This had caused a severe infection in her uterus that required emergency surgery within an hour of her arrival at the vet hospital.”

Post Surgery

Daya had to undergo a surgery in order to survive, but that meant she would not be able to see her puppies. The infection in her uterus was serious and the surgery meant that she would not become a mother, ever. Under the anesthesia, there was no way for Daya to know what was happening and when she woke up, expecting to be overwhelmed by a number of babies, she was perplexed. 

Unhealthy Effect

Daya survived the surgery but the bad news was that she was never going to be a mother. Daya could not understand what was going on. She expected to see her litter of puppies but she did not even have one. She started sulking and was not able to handle the situation well at all as is told in the video clip ahead.
