Mama dog shows her appreciation. She knows she is safe now.

When Warm Hearts received a phone call about a mama dog and 8 puppies found starving in the woods, we had to help.  They were discovered when a puppy appeared at the edge of the woods after the floods in Arkansas.

The family took food to the woods for several days but were not able to catch the mom or any of the puppies.  That’s when we stepped in to help.

The pups were hiding in a deep hole that was surrounded by broken glass, sharp pieces of tin and other debris that made rescuing them dangerous.

One of the holes where the puppies were hiding.

Warm Hearts’ member, Cindy King, spent most of a day trying to get the puppies.  Some were in the hole and she discovered more puppies hiding

in another hole deeper in the forest.

After spending hours in the heat, all 7 puppies were finally rescued.  They are now safe in foster care.

This mother dog has given her all to keep her puppies alive.
