00:00She wouldn't come in through the door.
00:13We were alerted to this dog within this area.
00:24We tried to catch the dog but were unsuccessful.
00:28We went in November to try and catch her again and found that she'd given birth and
00:33spent a day in the freezing cold trying to catch Angel to bring her to the shelter.
00:42She was petrified.
00:44We have no idea how they ended up in that pit.
00:47We would hazard a guess that somebody probably threw them down there.
00:52We got a call from a local lady who's been feeding them.
01:00She told us that the puppies were in the pit and the mother was there too.
01:05She was looking for ways out but there was no way out.
01:10She just gave up.
01:15The puppies were snuggled up in a tyre because it was still quite cold at that time of year.
01:24We got her out.
01:25We got her back here.
01:28Again she was petrified.
01:30It was heartbreaking.
01:31She was just completely broken.
01:41Angel is really uncomfortable with being touched still, understandably.
01:47And then she'd slowly come in.
01:49You in the house, pretty girl.
01:51Come on then.
01:52It's literally just a daily process.
01:56They were incredibly confident puppies and they helped her realise that we were no threat
02:02to her, that we weren't going to hurt her.
02:06They were really subtle signs but it was her way of showing us that she was happy to see
02:10us when we'd walk towards her pen, she'd have her tail wagging.
02:14Mum, who is starting to come out of her shell.
02:20Good morning.
02:21When you see how she's progressing, it's all very rewarding.
02:26Angel's puppies have started their puppy training and they're all thriving.
02:31They're available for adoption.
02:34Angel is a little bit further behind.
02:37Angel.
02:40It's very heartwarming and it's very humbling to see them go from terrified in the corner
02:45of a pit of dew to snoring on a bed.
