Rescuing the sweetest mama ever and her spicy little puppies - Stray Rescue of St.Louis

We are looking for a foster for this AMAZING mama!!
We pulled up to the abandoned house and saw the sweetest mama and her two little puppies in tow. A neighbor yelled, “Yeah! They moved away and just left them! They’ve been running in the streets.”
This is one of the sweetest mamas we’ve ever met.
We have a foster home on-deck to take her puppies home to socialize them. Who can come foster this gorgeous, amazing, perfect mama?? Her puppies are plenty old to eat regular food, so she will wean them and now it’s her turn! Who can shower her with tons of love and accept all of her affection?
We named her Pumpkin Patch and her babies are Eckert’s and Stuckmeyer.
To foster Pumpkin Patch:
2320 Pine Street, 63103 (walk-ins ALWAYS welcome! We are open 10-5 Saturday and Sunday!)
We’re having a foster class for first-timers both days at 11.

That pup was just terrified! He knew he was about to be murdered but he wasn't going down without a fight. Courage!

😢😢😢😢 que tristeza ainda bem que vocês são ANJOS JOINVILLE SANTA CATARINA 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤

[@anateixeira7972]

About to be murder? Are you crazy

[@2cleo]

😂😱

[@childofcascadia]

@anateixeira7972 To the little guy who has probably never seen a kind human, all he knew was a big scary monster took mama and siblings away to eat them and he was gonna be next! He thought he was fighting for his little life.

[@debrafrei4717]

How do you move and leave your sweet dog behind........do you ever think about what you did? Do you remember her, and the love she gave you??

[@SilvaDreams]

People like that don't care. I'm surprised the momma dog was so sweet.

[@Always_Thinking]

If they had kids I wouldn't be surprised if they were left behind also😮

[@almeida5823]

​@@Always_Thinkingits so weird comparing Kids to dogs. Thats a huge difference. No that leaving animals is right, but its creepy to compare it like that.

[@Always_Thinking]

@almeida5823 I've raised both & done very well at it not that it is your business. I did not compare children & dogs. Dogs do become part of the family. The comment was directed at their cavalier nature in completely abandoning a helpless animal with pups & their disregard in doing so. They could at least have had the decency to bring the dog to a shelter! How exactly is that "creepy"? Talk to anyone who has kids & a dog & they will tell you the dog is part of the family. At least in my world where the people have morals & ethics.

[@boa1793]

In St. Louis I think it’s more often that young men leave their dogs in abandon houses because landlords won’t accept them in their apartments. Maybe they do it for the money they get from selling the puppies. In this case maybe not.

[@na-ok7gv]

Donna you are a Godsend to all animals. Don't ever change. Thank you for saving lives and souls. KEEP IT GOING!!!

[@tractmcglyn8749]

People Are Just Not Right In The Head!! Pride they need to swallow their damn pride and ask for help or take the dogs or whatever animal they can't feed anymore and take care of and do some research & ask for help it's not that hard to do they just need to swallow their damn pride!! Instead of Abandoning them!!! Unfortunately People just don't Care anymore even about each other!!! I could NEVER do this to any animal or any person I think the only reason I would do this is if I could not speak!! Thank You & Blessings Ms. Donna & Stray Rescue!!! 🙏🙏❤️💯

[@lindadubnick9539]

You are wonderful people. Thank you

[@seasmacfarlane6418]

I haven't much in the way of material things, but am blessed that I have sufficient for myself, with enough to allow me to properly love and care for two rescued dogs, who are so precious to me I don't have the words to describe it❤. The only reason I long for lots of money is to be able to have a dog sanctuary, so I could care for a great many dogs who need me. My problem would be that I'd never want to let them go! God bless you for your kindness, courage, and the unconditional love you give to these beautiful dogs.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ladyaudrey9976]

💚💚💚💚 My comment is for the youtube algorithms. Thank you for all you do. 💚💚💚💚.

[@59Alaskan]

What a sweet mama!! She is sooo hungry for human companionship and love. Her spicey baby will learn to as well... thank you❣️

[@blt4239]

Wow, I've never seen Donna almost lose to a puppy! Donna, if you haven't been told often enough, You Are Amazing! Hope these puppies finally learn to trust. It surprises me to see everyone put their face so close to a newly rescued dog w/o worrying she might bite.

[@riveroffire6985]

You have a doppelganger, a lady who is your identical twin. She looks just like you and also rescues stray dogs. She is in San Antonio Texas. She was in the news paper for saving a dog who was shot iseveral years ago. You guys are identical twinsl.... Angels are real.....

[@spenfor1598]

[@lindywolfe6581]

It just amazes me how you find all of them in such horrible places. Rescue work never ends. Here in DE we have cats & dogs both left behind all the time. Life has no value anymore with today's society.

Hi, everyone, please donate to this rescue, I just did, every little bit helps. You the best Donna!!!!

[@Red-rl1xx]

Glad you saved this family!

[@gotsalotsamilk]

We rescued a momma and her feral pup once. He was just like this! We ended up taking him to Stray Rescue and they taught him trust and showed him love until they were able to adopt him to a loving forever home. We fostered momma and found her the most amazing home ever! It's been probably 11 or 12 years, and I still get pictures of momma from that family! She is a momma to their 2 kids! Love this video!

[@deborahferrari9233]

All the puppies and one crocodile,!! Bit Donna!

[@treelover1050]

Love the little crocodile.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!! Beautiful Karma Awaites You so many times over

[@sabrinaearthmuffin4805]

Why can't the mama be with her babies just a little bit more, especially because she's so gentle, instead of just weaning them/separating them straight away?!😥😔 That time comes soon enough. Poor dears. The babies need mama just a bit more, in a lovely safe happy place, sleeping and playing and being happy together for their last time. At least a few days for goodness sake ❤ PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN SWEET FELLOW DOG LOVERS. I appreciate all that you do and hope/trust good things always happen to you for the kindness and compassion you have & show these sweethearts (and the world). You are wonderful examples to the human race. The world needs more of this. Peace be with you. 🌈🧡🐾 Animal friend & dog rescuer in the PNW 🌲🌧🍁 Autumn and Rain (or Sunny/Sonny) would be nice names for Pumpkin's pups.

[@lizcassettai7459]

They aren't going to seperate the mum from her puppies. They will be together until it's time for them to be adopted.

[@tractmcglyn8749]
