A team of rescuers discovered a malnourished mother dog and her puppies on an isolated street and went to check on them.
To their dismay, they found the mama dog tethered to a fence, severely restricting her movement. Starved, she was unable to adequately nourish her puppies, who were visibly struggling.
The circumstances that led to this unfortunate state were heartbreaking, but there was no time to ponder that. The rescuers sprang into action to assist them.
Mama Dog’s Joyful Excitement
As rescuers approached cautiously, they carefully gained the mama dog’s trust to see if she would allow them to assist.
A girl named Lily then managed to untie the mother dog, enabling the rescuers to place her and her puppies into a vehicle and head to the veterinary clinic.
At the clinic, the staff provided them with ample food and water to help them regain their strength. While feeding the mama dog and her puppies, they decided to name her.
The staff chose the name Mulan. During her time there, she remained worried about her puppies, though she was slowly recovering.
Mulan, who bore the brunt of the suffering, would require the longest recovery period.
The rescuers bought cozy outfits for the family to keep them warm. They looked incredibly cute in their new attire.
Since Mulan couldn’t nurse her little ones, the vets provided specialized milk to keep them healthy until she could recover enough to care for them herself. They ensured the pups received a balanced diet tailored to their needs.
Lily’s Delightful Surprise
Over time, all of them began to gain strength. Mulan felt noticeably more at ease at the shelter, enjoying the company of her rescuers each day.
Lily, the one who helped free them, paid visits to Mulan and her offspring at the shelter, spending time playing with them. Everyone was thrilled to see her.
The puppies were slowly developing, their personalities emerging. The sight of their wagging tails and energetic play whenever their rescuers appeared was heartwarming.
After weeks of intensive nurturing, the family was finally robust and brimming with vitality. The pups were becoming lively and boisterous.
With their marked improvement, the rescuers considered listing them for adoption to find them a loving home.
However, that plan took an unexpected turn when Lily chose to adopt the whole family herself. She committed to giving them a fresh start and a loving environment.
Mulan and her puppies now have a dedicated caregiver in Lily, who promises to protect them from any future hardships.
