Karma Rescue Mom and Pups
Update: Juno and her babies are doing great. Juno went into surgery today (3/3/10). Our fundraising goal is now $3,000. Thank you to everyone that has donated already. We are so thankful for your support.
With a badly broken hind-leg and a stomach full of babies, poor frightened Juno had to find a place to give birth to her puppies. The only place she could find was a crawl-space, basically a hole under a building full of dirt and gravel, in Ontario, CA. Juno gave birth to her puppies in this cold, dark hole on the weekend of February 20. The poor girl isn't even a year old and still a puppy herself. Without food or water, she and her puppies easily could have died, but a nice woman, Erin Logan, discovered Juno and her puppies and gave her food and water. She could tell that Juno was scared but sweet, and she put the word out that Juno needed help. She spoke to Animal Services who said they wouldn't help the dog, and even if they did take Juno and her puppies, they would all be euthenized.
A week after the puppies were born, a volunteer from Karma Rescue drove out and got Juno and the puppies out of the crawl space. Juno was so sweet that she didn't even growl or curl her lip as the volunteer took out her puppies one by one. She was too scared to come out, however, a bowl of food finally tempted her, and Erin and the volunteer were able to grab her, too.
A visit to the vet showed that Juno and her puppies are suprisingly healthy, but Juno's tibia is badly shattered, so she will be going in for surgery next week. If you would like to help donate to help pay Juno's vet bills and support her and her puppies, Karma Rescue would be very greateful. We will also be looking for fosters and forever homes in the next few weeks.
Juno has five male puppies and two females. We have named them Venus, Diana, Mars, Pluto, Jupiter, Apollo, and Cupid!
