cuz if done right the puppies are put up for adoption when their instincts tell them they are independent. if not done right the puppies and moms have alot of emotional distress for awhile. my ex had a cat who was taken too soon from his mom and even at 3 yrs old he still acted like a kitten in some way while a kitten i had raised from birth but stayed with her mother until she was a few months old dont have any of those behavioral issues.

​@galefromwaterdeep this is becoming a major issue with designer breeds as well. A lot of desired breeds tend to have health problems like chihuahuas or even for cat breeds too. My partner's aunt bred the absolute hell out of her maine coon cats, it was horrible seeing the state of the females. One the females ended up snapping and attacking her really badly and she just had enough and was sent to another owner. Poor thing wasn't a bad cat she just wanted to be left in peace. She's my cat's mother. In the UK maine coons are up by 300% in shelters now cos people can't afford their healthcare cos they tend to get problems with their hips. They're such beautiful and affectionate animals it's heartbreaking.

I adopted a dog years ago on her scheduled euthanasia day. I immediately took her to the vet BECAUSE she looked to be too skinny (she was a Golden retriever) and the vet said she was ok. My vet didn't even know she was pregnant. Five days after i adopted her, she gave birth to seven puppies!!!!🥰 What a surprise for us all. My $45.00 adoption fee was for eight dogs! It was a joy to watch them grow up until their new homes. I made sure they were housebroken beforehand, BECAUSE i would always take them outside with their momma. I put all seven puppies in a laundry basket and carried them outside and gave my Australian shepherd/Chow mix command to watch the puppies. It worked out great. Of course I was outside with them too to make sure the puppies didn't wander to the road.

It's BECAUSE irresponsible People that think it's ok not to neuter or spay the animals... ...and they breed like rabbits... 😱 Then the dog/cats get "thrown" away because these People get bored taking care of a pet! 😭

[@magical571]

it's a necesarily evil so long as people keep having pets. I know dog lovers on the internet are all perfect and they will say i'm wrong and that they, and each of their friends adopted 87.648 homeless dogs in a year, but in reality ALMOST all dogs that you see homeless, had a home before.....should we teach people? of course. but let's be real for a sec. Nobody will ever win against the "puppy eyes". dogs are so inbred nowdays to be as cute as posible that you will and always will have people adopting then ditching them once they realize how much they eat/bark/poop/bread etc. Pets should be way less common, only for those willing to neuter and have a chip on them. But "oh no that's not natural" people will just let the doggos breed like bunnies, or straight up abandon them once they grow, or they get tired of having to walk them and pick up their poop three times a day lol. i see it as the merciful way to have less dogs around period. Rather have that than 9 generations of homeless doggos. specially on poor areas were they grow agressive and end up hurting people on the street (i know, some people here who have the privilege to say "oh a dog would never harm unless provoled", they have never had the experience of crossing paths with a pak of angry strays. it happens a lot in more vulnerable areas of the world)

Friend, go give some money to a shelter, or do like I do and transport dogs for rescues, or talk to your neighbors and friends about spaying and neutering. They are doing the best they can with the donations they have. It's an epidemic. Millions of animals are being euthanized across America.

[@1packatak]

@@ememchi3717you are so right. Shelters and rescues are absolutely overwhelmed.

[@unicornofatlantis]

Do you have any idea how overrun, overwhelmed, understaffed, and underfunded most shelters are? Some have no choice. Instead of being so judgmental, how about you donate money and supplies? Or you can foster. Be the change, not the one causing more problems and drama.

[@michellelansford2062]

I used to think the same way, but please try to understand that no one working in animal rescue would ever want to euthanize an animal. It’s an unthinkable situation they are put in due to lack of space, funding, fosters, and other resources. Shelters who don’t have great live release rates are the ones that need community support the most, so if you are upset about the situation, please find a shelter to donate to, volunteer at, foster with, or encourage your friends and family to spay/neuter.

[@1packatak]

@ spay/neuter has not done anything to cut down on dogs going to shelters. Somehow a plan needs to be created and implemented that truly stops puppy mills and back yard breeders from turning out thousands of dogs that wind up in shelters. We need to come up with a way that when people move, their pet can go with them.

[@trevellyann]

'No space' is not a ridiculous reason. Public animal shelters are obligated to accept EVERY dog and cat that comes through their doors. They have limited space, limited money, and limited staff. Eventually something gives, either the space, the funds, or the number of hands. There's too many pets being abandoned, stolen, or looked after irresponsibly (and thus getting out/running away) and they end up there. The shelter can't take in infinite dogs.

[@She_McGee]

if you were to balance your perception by watching a few news clips on the channel "pitbull victim awareness" you might see it a bit differently but you probably won't. no one has any idea what the characteristics of the male dog bred with this dog were, except when the rescuer said "she probably came from a not very good situation". nobody will know what the temperament of any of her puppies will be until one of them ends up on that other channel. i love animals and even hate to see the fates of some of the vicious "pitties" on that other channel, but what's wose is the innocent children and pets who become victims and the much safer non-pittie dogs who get euthanized instead of a pit.

This lady, Lisa, used to rescue with Eldad from Hope for Paws.... So glad mama girl was saved... Her and her puppies are just adorable!!!

[@anakatsukifangirl2944]

Mama Stormi is going to protect those two little kids for the rest of her life no doubt

[@prenimystic]

Every single dog deserves love It hurts *so* much to see such sweet, loving creatures get mistreated in such awful ways

[@Delisle4]

Thank Goddess for people like Lisa. That mamma dog was blessed to have you as a foster. You are doing God's work. Bless you!!!

[@natureguytyler]

This warmed my heart so much!! I am so very grateful to these amazing ladies for opening their hearts and home and save precious doggies. May God bless them. 🙏🏼

[@lizacelarek617]

Mama is too precious for words. We foster, it is so rewarding. Foster if you can. 3:34

Pitties get a bad rap. Because some humans mistreat them. They are actually gentle, sweet fur babies. Thank you so much for helping her. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@sarahrohde7923]

Mama Stormi’s gonna be the best nanny dog to those kids 😍

[@oldbtchsgaming2858]

13 years ago I volunteered at the local SPCA- NO ONE would walk the Pitties..I would and did, they had a 6 month old red nose that was scheduled to be put down that week if no one adopted her.I brought her home ,still have her,heart mummer and all.I also had her lifetime mate (who was also a rescue) until 6 month ago when he passed away of old age.I have Baby Girl and her grand puppy and with her mummer, coughing( had her vet checked and she receives medicine) I give her all the love I can and will always be here for her.Also my husband is a Veteran who has a Staffy for a support dog that is so spoiled, These are the best there is for the right humans :) No love like it!

Felicitaciones, a l@s que cuidaron y adoptaron a los peluditos 🐶🐶 !!!

Killing place is not shelter. Thank you for saving this good motherdog and her puppies 🌹

[@brookiejoy1692]

When we got my dog the shelter we got her from had just gotten her from a different shelter so they didn't know much about her. They did say that it looks like she was heavily bred. She was also only 1-2 years old at the time. We made sure she knew that she was no longer a mama and that she got the chance to be a baby. She's our spoiled little girl now who loves to cuddle and loves treats. She's such a sweet dog that we decided to name her Joy and we always like to say that she is a joy to have around.

[@mikeifyouplease]

I loved how the foster had a ""puppy house" for what she probably would have suspected would have been the mama dog's "protective stance and behavior" soon after her babies were born.

[@jaydiarie]

It is true that pitbulls, with the wrong owners and training, can be very scary. However with the right owners, and the right training, they flourish and are the most loving, goofy dogs. I’ll always love these land seals ❤️

[@adellelevine5881]

there is something especially twisted about that shelter going to put down a pregnant dog... thank you for saving them

[@kristengrewing9230]

Thank you and everyone involved for saving this sweet Mama and her babies ❤ I wish things could be different, and everyone that wishes to have a dog, cat, or any animal, must be approved. Our system must change, our fur babies are precious and every animal deserves respect. ❤ I wish the best life for this sweet girl and her babies ❤❤

[@everlasting9292]

Oh she was SO full of milk. She’s like “Get these BBs outta me!” She’s such a good momma. Protective of her babies, nurturing, and she’s such a sweetheart to people, too!

[@FireCracker-vd8pq]

I can't believe they would euthanize her with her pregnant like that. Oh, it's just horrific! Thank god they saved her. My heart breaks for all the ones that don't make it. 😭😭💔💔

[@Shinyarcanine833]

Every shelter in America is stock full of these hideous, inbred, violent pitbulls (apologies for my redundancy). Nobody wants to deal with nine extra pitbulls, there is no space.

[@JorjaInnes]

I love your videos ❤❤

[@jojojogonzalez2371]

Female pitbulls are such good mommas. I rescued a pregnant pittie too and she gave birth to 8 puppies. I was able find forever homes for 6 of them but the other 2 ended up staying with me and the momma. It’s been 3 and a half years and until this day she still cleans them, and sleeps with them and she’s very protective of them even tho they are bigger than her lol. She’s such a sweet girl and a great mother 🥹

[@dailyshenanigans4883]

That's the problem though, you don't know if they are still in a "forever home." As far as you know, they could have ended up on the streets or back in a shelter. That's why it's very important to spay and neuter your pets.

[@jojojogonzalez2371]

@@dailyshenanigans4883 I completely agree with you! In my case I made sure to make those people sign a contract that said that they had to take csre of the dogs or if they didn’t want them anymore return them to me, so far all of them have the dogs still. I keep communicating with them. And right now the momma and the other two males that I kept are spayed and neutered. If I rescue any dog on the street to give it for adoption I make sure to spay or neuter first before giving it away. It’s all I can do, if I had the money, the space and the time I would have all the animals I have rescued with me trust me 🤍😩. I live in Puerto Rico and in here there’s over 600,000 stray dogs roaming around the island. It’s so bad and the government doesn’t help at all. People are so irresponsible here it makes me sick

[@jojojogonzalez2371]

@@dailyshenanigans4883 I totally agree with you! That’s why I made sure to make those people sign a paper that said that if they didn’t wanted the dogs anymore they could give them back to me. And I keep communicating with them, so far all of them have their dogs still . Every situation is different and that’s the most I can do because I’m not a rescuer. I do rescue some dogs when I see them in the street if I can and I make sure that they have a good life. All of my pets are rescued, and all of them are neuter or spayed. I live in an island where there’s more than 600,000 homeless dogs in the streets and it’s not easy to take care of all of them when the government doesn’t help.

Thank you so much for saving this beautiful pittie Mumma. Thank You.

[@Mama-Ames]

💗💗💗 Lovely Stormi is truly one of the gentlest, most endearing, most beautiful pittie angels Ive ever seen. Her exquisite eyes simply melt my heart. God bless the loving, compassionate women who rescued & fostered her & the lucky, loving family who adopted her. May she forever be surrounded by the unconditional love she has always deserved.💗X💗O💗

[@GenXfrom75]

They’re sick for euthanizing a heavily pregnant dog. Really. 🤬 Happy she was saved. ❤❤

[@mandyhutchins4598]

These so called shelters should never put a dog down. Shelter means shelter not a killing zone.

[@lisabelle7553]

Yet a a 68 yr old man in Türkiye rescues and cares for 500 dogs and 100 cats all by himself and no government support. Abdulkerem. Our "shelters" were designed 50 years ago by counties as "animal control"..ie:places we send unwanted pets to be killed. Fact. I wish all the useless college kids protesting over nonsense like pronouns, actually protested the county shelters killing 20x the number of healthy animals compared to any other western nation.

[@ktkchu]

What would be your alternative when there are 15+ dogs coming in every single day either surrendered, found stray or dumped unlawfully outside the shelter and you are running out of room, not enough people are signing up to foster, and you don’t have enough funding from your council/local government? Honestly, tell me what you would do

[@andream9470]

Unfortunately it's become a necessary evil at this point because humans continue to not take responsibility for their animals.
