We love witnessing the transformative power of rescue, and Moon’s story deeply touched our hearts in ways we never expected.

When rescuers found Moon, a one-eyed mother dog, she had just given birth to her precious puppies in the harsh confines of a shelter cage.

Despite her own struggles and injuries, Moon’s devotion to her puppies never wavered, even as she fought to keep them dry and safe in their cramped shelter space.

A Mother’s Desperate Situation

Moon weighed just 4.4 kilograms when she arrived at the rescue, her frail body bearing the marks of neglect and possible abuse.

Her missing eye was infected and oozing, while internal parasites threatened her already weakened system. Despite her dire condition, she still fought for survival, her spirit unyielding even in the face of such adversity. The vet knew that handling aggressive parasites in dogs required immediate action, and there wasn’t a moment to waste. With careful determination, they began a treatment plan to eradicate the parasites and heal her wounds, hoping to restore her health and vitality.

Most heartbreaking was watching her puppies struggle to reach their water bowl, while their mother could barely produce enough milk to sustain them.

The Journey to Healing

The rescue team immediately began Moon’s treatment, which included vital surgery for her infected eye and damaged uterus.

Her puppies received special VIP nutrition from the veterinary hospital, ensuring they would grow strong despite their difficult start.
