When rescuing an animal in need, most people would think that they are the ones who will be helping them, not the other way around.
However, I noticed that this isn’t always the case, and Carly and Jackie are going to back me up on this one.
When they rescued a pregnant Pit Bull named Poppy off of the street, they had no idea the impact she was going to have on their lives.
A Life Changing Rescue
When the duo was walking around town one afternoon, they noticed a little pup with the most heartbreaking eyes lying on the sidewalk
They didn’t even need to get too close to her in order to know she was pregnant and was about to give birth at any second. The rescuers knew that this sweet girl had gone through a hard life as a stray and that she would need a lot of patience and understanding before she could be rescued.
But, Carly knew she needed to help her. So, she slowly approached the soon-to-be mom and extended her loving hand toward her.
At first, Poppy was extremely hesitant. She had no idea what to think of the two hoomans who approached her. However, after some time, it was as if she understood that these two hoomans meant no harm to her and that, if she went with them, she would finally be safe.
Poppy gathered all the strength and courage she had in her and approached Carly.
A Big Step Forward
The pup immediately melted in Carly’s embrace, creating a bond that will never be broken. Carly began speaking to the sweet girl in a soft and soothing voice, reassuring her that everything was going to be just fine.
Jackie and Carly carefully got Poppy into their car and drove her to the vet because they both knew her condition needed immediate medical attention.
The second they arrived, Poppy was taken in for a head-to-tail medical examination. Since she was indeed close to giving birth, the vets decided to keep her at the clinic for close observation.
Even though she received tons of love and attention from the medical staff during those two days, it was clear that Poppy missed her rescuers, Carly and Jackie.
So, after she finished her treatments, they decided to take her home.
“She just kind of came into the house and jumped on the couch and layed down. She is really chill. She’s not interested in doing anything crazy. She just likes to sleep. That’s pretty much what she did when we brought her home,” the duo told The Dodo.
It didn’t take long for her to give birth after coming to her new home. After delivering nine healthy puppies, Poppy was finally able to relax.
As time went by, both Carly and Jackie and their mom took very good care of the puppies so they grew up into the happiest, healthiest siblings ever.
Since they grew so fond of Poppy, it was only fair that they adopted her into their warm and loving home.
“I truly believe you get the dog you need at the time you need them. Poppy is so sweet. She’s honestly the best dog ever,” Jackie said. Poppy is finally living the life she always deserved. All that is left to do is find the puppies a loving forever home.
And, because they are so adorable, I am sure that it will happen in the blink of an eye.
