In all my time reading and writing about dogs, I have seen instances where stray pups end up living in isolated places to get away from people.
Usually, it’s because they have either been neglected or abused and they believe that their best course of action is to stay away from humans as much as possible.
However, very rarely do we see an example where a dog who wasn’t abused ends up in such a situation. In most cases, they end up isolated after being abandoned.
But, some strays decided to just live far away from people. Such was the case for this mama dog who was living in a desert in California until some kind people saw her and intervened.
How Did She Get Here?!
When a group of friends decided to film a video in the desert, they had no idea what they were about to witness.
Suddenly, they saw a dog wandering around the set. It was in a desert in the middle of nowhere, so they had absolutely no idea where the dog came from.
The group didn’t have any idea what to do now that the dog was there with them. I mean, it was a huge surprise for them.
They tried approaching her, and they noticed that she was very outgoing and sweet. So, it seemed that she was not your average stray dog.
However, there was no way to confirm any information about her background. There was a possibility that she was a stray or maybe she was just abandoned nearby.
Either way, the group heard faint cries coming from somewhere and they suspected that she had given birth, and that’s when everything changed.
A Rescuer Rushed To Help
The group decided to help her immediately so they called Atlas Animal Rescue in California for help.
A rescuer named Emily Everett-Nelson answered the call, and she immediately drove to their location. She found them in no time and asked about the dog.
She went behind an abandoned old ramp and that’s when she saw her. However, she was not alone. This mama dog had given birth to 10 puppies recently and they all needed help.
The mama dog let her take the puppies and place them in a kennel. When they were all secured, she transported them into the car.
Shortly after that, she was also placed into the car and they were all finally safe. The rescuer realized that she was struggling to feed her babies due to malnourishment.
The mama dog, now named Pretzel, likely hadn’t eaten in a while and now she finally got a new chance to recover and help her puppies.
The Entire Family Is Doing Well
Emily had a friend who had another mama dog called Louise. The big surprise is that Louise also gave birth to 10 puppies.
So, Emily took the dog family to her friend who volunteered to help and they are all now living together in a beautiful home.
After eight weeks of proper care and nutrition, the entire family is now fit for adoption and it looks like their future is more certain with every passing day.
Surprisingly, even though all of the puppies were adopted quickly, Pretzel got the most applications and she has also found a forever home.
Thanks to the kindness of the kind strangers and the amazing rescuers, this big family is now living amazing lives with their new families and that’s just amazing.
