Pregnant dog was dumped in shelter. That wasn't the worst part.

Transcript

00:00 Bella was dumped in the shelter while she was in labor and to be euthanized if road dogs didn't rescue her

00:06 She went straight in for an emergency c-section. Four puppies passed away, but two survived

00:11 I've been fostering for road dogs for a few years now. I couldn't say no. So they're here with me now

00:16 Bella was really tired for the first few days and I was a bit worried because I was supposed to separate her from her puppies

00:24 Because she had a big scar from the c-section and they didn't want to mess it up, but she accepted it right away

00:30 That I was feeding her puppies and she was sitting next to me and just watching her helping me clean them a little bit

00:36 I think Bella was very grateful to get some help with her puppies

00:52 Probably first getting dumped by her owners and then ending up in a loud shelter while giving birth

00:58 So me helping her wasn't a problem and still isn't a problem

01:02 Like we're two moms. I'm her nanny basically and she's the mother

01:08 We're a great team

01:17 I talk to Bella all the time and I tell her how loved she is, how safe she is and how perfect her kids are

01:24 I have a feeling she understands me at least on an emotional level

01:28 I have other animals here

01:35 I have other dogs, I have a cat and it took her some time before she could accept them

01:39 But now she lets the cats be around us when we nurse the babies

01:46 She's healing beautifully

01:48 She did her first zoomie yesterday when I asked if she wanted to go for a walk

01:56 And she's showing her personality more and more now. I have always been very passionate about animals

02:05 When I see an animal that starts to feel trust for me, that's the biggest reward

02:12 That was so yummy, huh? I love taking care of them. I love seeing them happy. I love seeing them thrive

02:18 It's just what I do and I can imagine my life being any different

02:22 The puppies probably will get adopted when they're eight to ten weeks and Bella will stay with me until then

02:28 She and I bonded pretty early

02:30 We've grown really close within these weeks of being together

02:35 But she will also be a put up for adoption

02:37 Because if I keep every dog that I love I won't be able to take in new ones

02:42 I have to be able to detach myself eventually from them. Whoever is gonna adopt her are gonna be lucky
