Sweet Mama Dog Still at Shelter After Her Puppies All Find Homes

When one-year-old shepherd mix Addison and her seven puppies were left at a Texas shelter, it was unclear if the dogs would survive. The sweet mama dog was emaciated and sick. Her sickness had spread to her puppies, who were also in poor condition. The eight canines were soon pulled from the shelter by Saving Hope Rescue. Amazingly, the sweet mama dog and all of her puppies recovered. 

Once they were ready to leave their mother’s side, all of the puppies found forever homes. However, Addison remained at the shelter. Despite her young age and gentle demeanor, she struggled to garner interest from potential adopters. As of December 31, the sweet mama dog still had not received any adoption or foster offers.

Addison weighs roughly 45 pounds. She is good with people and other dogs. Hopefully, she will soon find a forever family of her own!
