We got an emergency call from a pound that there is a dog, who was collected few days ago in a village, and suddenly is a puppy with her in the cage. But as the dog, we called her Svenja, was collected she shows no signs for pr Svenja showed no signs for a pregnancy.
Volunteers went there immediately and found a fearful dog who lay on a newborn puppy and a second puppy was in the back of the pound. The volunteers collected Svenja with her puppies and went to a vet.
Svenja was x-rayed to see if there are still puppies in her belly, fortunately not, but the X-Ray showed that there were many small pellets in her body. Svenja was completely traumatized, she had no milk and her body showed no other signs of pregnancy.
Obviously her two puppies were born too early and were not survivable. We had to let them go.
We guess that someone must have shot at Svenja shortly before she was found by pound workers. She was extremely scared, so it was not easy to catch her. We assume, that all these stress was the reason for the prematurity.
Svenja is now few weeks in a shelter, and could be vaccinated and neutered. She has made great progress, understood very well with the other dogs in her kennel, play with them and is cheerful. She is still shy to us, but we can go in contact with her and she allows us to cuddle her. Every week she got more and more confidence.
Svenja´s life will changed soon. We don´t allow that Svenja has to be in such a situation anymore. She has now already found a foster home in Germany, where she can move to soon. There she will learn that humans are nice and good to her. Hands are only there für cuddles and to hold the leash on walks, and to feed her.
We can´t understand why and how people can do such bad things to animals. No one has to love animals, but if you don´t like animals, don´t care about them!!! Don´t hurt them! Don´t shot them! Don´t hit or kick them!
Animals have feelings like we have! They feel pain!
Be focused on yourself and let them in peace!
