A pregnant dog who was abandoned by her owners and waiting day and night by the front door is in safe hands thanks to rescuers.
Tania Cappelluti teaches yoga in Costa Rica and helped establish Charlieβs Angels Animal Rescue Costa Rica (CAARCR) after she saw how many stray pets lived on the streets in terrible conditions.
βThis is so unbelievable,β Tania wrote on Facebook on August 16. βI really donβt understand how people can do this to their dog.β
βThey moved away and left their pregnant dog behind,β she continued. βNo food or water. On her own, with a big belly. The poor girl is sitting now day and night in front of the door waiting for her people to come back home.β
Tania was able to convince the neighbor to take care of the dog while she tried to find a foster, as she was back home in Germany at the time and couldnβt rescue the dog herself.
Fortunately for the pregnant dog β now named Marie β one of CAARCRβs volunteers, Wynn Mackey, said he would help foster Marie.
Marie was made comfortable at his home and just 10 days later Marie gave birth to seven healthy puppies!
Marie was very happy to be somewhere safe where she could relax and care for her pups.
Now that Marie and her puppies are healthy and happy, CAARCR will be looking for forever homes for them.
Itβs a happy ending for Maria and her family, thanks to the kindness of strangers.
βItβs incredible how fast things can change for a dog within the shortest timeβ¦ for worse, but also for the better,β Tania wrote. βMarie is definitely in a much better place now.β
