For most people, it’s heartbreaking to see an animal suffering. If someone sees a dog that needs to be rescued, it often means that the dog has been mistreated or that it has been left alone to fend for itself.

Maria is a paralyzed dog that also happens to be pregnant. She was forced by her owners to breed before being left to die. A rescue group found Maria. They saved her just in time so that she could have a better life.

Maria was left by her owners when they found out that she would need a costly C-section for her puppies to be delivered. Friends of Emma is a group in Texas that helps homeless dogs and knew that they had to take Maria under their wing.

She was anemic when she was found, and Maria had several fleas. The dog appeared to be frightened and anxious. The group worked to save Maria’s life as well as the lives of her puppies.

Fortunately, the group was able to deliver the puppies safely. Maria is now doing better, and her puppies are looking for new homes. If it wasn’t for her puppies, then Maria likely would have given up on living before she was rescued.
