There was no room at the inn for this homeless and very pregnant dachshund/lab/shepherd mix at the South Central Shelter and so she was scheduled for euthanization on Christmas Eve. Much Love Animal Rescue came to her rescue in hopes that she would be able to deliver her puppies in a safe, clean veterinary office instead of the South LA shelter. But, due to the stress of being in the shelter and the journey that led her there, she delivered seven puppies on December 23, six of who survived.

Mary and her puppies are now in safely in our care, and we are seeking donations to help cover the costs yet to be incurred including medical care, spay & neuter, microchipping, vaccinations and boarding until she and the puppies are available for adoption in 2 months time. Yes, these adorable bundles of joy will be seeking forever familes and so will Mama Mary. 

Mary's puppies were all given names that translate to PEACE. They are: PAX, BARIS, UDO (Boys) SABINA, MIREMBE, EIRENE (Girls) Mary and the volunteers of Much Love thank you for your support.

PLEASE SAVE THIS ANGEL TODAY, THE POUND IS OPEN UNTIL 7:00 p.m. TODAY!!!
THIS ADORABLE LITTLE PETITE BLONDE DAINTY DACHSHUND/SHEPHERD OR DACHSHUND/YELLOW LAB/SHEPHERD DOCILE LAMB IS VERY PREGNANT AND APPEARS TO BE ABOUT TO DELIVER HER BABIES AT ANY MOMENT!!! SHE MAY BE KILLED AT ANY MOMENT, BEFORE HER BABIES ARE EVEN BORN.

The slaughterhouse may kill her before her pups can be born. The pups are most certainly already viable (able to live outside the womb), so they will be killing the whole family anyway. This darling girl is so beautiful and sweet, healthy and very very cute, and totally easily adoptable go see her, you will fall in love, and you will want to take her with you. Her kennel card lists her as 4 years old, but she's probably less than half that age--she's young and vital, and she's in great condition. She has such velvety fur, so soft and lusciously golden tan colored, with a few very subtle smoky highlights, and she has such exquisite amber eyes, so soulful, and as you can see they express the worry she has at being imprisoned and facing death in the slaughterhouse. She weighed 43 lbs. at the time of impounding a few days ago. She's so friendly and gentle, a docile little lamb, so friendly and gentle, so sweet as she comes to greet you so hopefully and lovingly, so polite and such a little lady. But as her delivery time approaches, she just lays in the corner now, resting to conserve her energies and awaiting her babies. Expectant moms are among the most at risk at the LAAS pounds--they are killed as soon as they are available, and this little angel is available today!!! Please get this little fawn out alive now, let her have her pups, then spay/neuter the entire family when pups are weaned. The slaughterhouse is eager to kill her and her babies inside, despite the fact that sheZs very adoptable, and despite the fact that the pound is EMPTY. Please donZt let this incredible young angel girl be killed!!! Please save her precious angel life, and the lives of her little babies!!! I am an unaltered female, brown and tan Shepherd mix. My age is unknown. I have been at the shelter since Dec 17, 2005.
