00:00There was a very pregnant dog needing rescue in the shelter but a scary and stressful environment to be having your babies
00:15And I think it was the next day or two that I saw the live video of her having them
00:20Dogs barking all around and she was so scared
00:23The look in her eyes, it's just so sad to see them like that
00:34I'm like, all right. Can't let her stay there. She can come
00:43They're not in there. Go put them in your room. She was a lot smaller than I anticipated
00:49Every time she heard the clink in the gate
00:52You'd hear her barking and growling from inside
00:57She never tried to fight or anything it was just I just had babies go away
01:05Took her a couple days, but then she realized when I came in that it wasn't to be scary or mean
01:10She's like, oh, hi friend
01:16This litter was a lot of work so many newborns
01:20So many
01:24I didn't know who was who except for there were some that weren't well at first so like those ones sort of stood out more
01:31She had eight nipples and 12 babies and she was not making enough milk for everybody
01:36So we had to intervene a little bit to help some of them
01:41The early days she just wanted to be with them and then one day when I was out in the yard her body language had
01:48Shifted good girl, and she was looking at me. She really wanted to meet everybody at that time
01:54my pack consisted of seven other dogs and
01:57She was in a heaven
02:00She was so happy to be with a pack so much so that she didn't want to be with her babies anymore
02:09Enjoying your time away from the babies
02:12As soon as we were able to get them on food it was a game-changer
02:18Everyone started getting fatter. Everyone started getting healthier. Everyone started running around and playing
02:25She was much more peaceful. It's really cool to watch her be a dog
02:30Just so much
02:32Beautiful girl
02:36They all looked at eight weeks because the rescue is probably about two hours away from me
02:40So it's easier for them to have them up there for their adopters
02:48The Dodo sent her a super pretty box it just smelled delicious
03:18And
03:24Ready for your rosé
03:30Dove is definitely ready to find her home. She's safe. She's healthy. She's beautiful. She just loves life
