Meet Roxy, a 1 year old Bulldog mix, who was dropped off at HSTB underweight, suffering from an upper respiratory infection... and days away from giving birth. HSTB staff immediately provided her with a comfortable room within our puppy nursery so she could rest peacefully until it was time for her puppies to be born.
When the time finally came, HSTB medical staff helped Roxy naturally birth four puppies. Unfortunately, there was an unexpected complication and Roxy was unable to continue. The decision was made that she would need an emergency C-section, and our veterinary staff worked diligently to aid Roxy and deliver her babies.
Seven of Roxy's puppies were able to be saved. :-)
The puppies, now just two weeks old, as well as their brave mommy, are all in the care of one of our loving volunteer foster parents, where Roxy can recover from her ordeal and raise her pups surrounded by love and security.
YOUR gift today helps animals like Roxy who are brought to the shelter needing urgent medical care and some extra love and care for their newborn babies.
YOUR DONATION IS DOUBLED UP TO DECEMBER 31ST!
