In Arizona during July 2020, a couple of furry friends were saved by Sunshine Dog Rescue while they were wandering around a gas station situated near the Mexican border. The rescue team immediately rushed to aid the homeless canines, specifically sweet Georgia who was in dire need of assistance as she was expecting puppies.
A group of dogs resided at a gas station situated in a rural area close to the border of Arizona and Mexico. One of them, a little shepherd mix named Georgia, had to be quickly taken to the vet as she was pregnant. Following this, all the dogs were placed in foster care and it wasn’t long before Georgia went into labor.
After Georgia’s rescue, her troubles continued. Sadly, on August 13th, she needed to have an emergency C-section and spay procedure, which resulted in the loss of all her puppies. The experience was heartbreaking for Georgia, as well as the shelter staff and volunteers. She mourned the loss of her babies deeply. During her hospitalization, the vet discovered that Georgia’s uterus had some lesions. To determine the extent of the situation, a biopsy was necessary. The entire ordeal has been extremely trying for poor Georgia.
Luckily, Georgia was in great care while the shelter staff came up with a heartwarming plan to channel her maternal instincts towards a group of deserving kittens. Three little orphans had sadly lost their mother during birth and were in need of love and attention. Anita carefully introduced one of the kittens to Georgia, hoping that the mama cat would accept her new role. Although this approach doesn’t always succeed, the shelter team remained optimistic that it would work out for everyone involved. This way, Georgia would have some kittens to care for, and the little ones would have a loving mother figure in their lives.
Following the results of Georgia’s biopsy, she received a cancer diagnosis. However, the good news is that it is a curable type of cancer, which means that once her kittens reach an appropriate age to be weaned, she can begin treatment. Georgia is feeling more optimistic now and looking forward to making a full recovery!
