On December 22, Mam Nata, an 8-week-pregnant dog, was abandoned in front of the IAPA shelter. When the team found her, she was extremely weak, unable to stand, and visibly terrified. It took a while for her to feel safe. Her owner had abandoned her, likely because she was so protective of her soon-to-arrive puppies.

At first, Mam Nata was very cautious around the shelter volunteers. She was nervous and protective, but as time passed, she began to trust them and feel more comfortable.

After she settled in, Mam Nata was taken to the vet with her 14 puppies for a checkup, ultrasound, and blood tests. Despite her rough past, her puppies were healthy, big, and chubby. Seeing her smile while surrounded by her adorable little ones was heartwarming—it almost brought tears to my eyes!

With 14 puppies to name, it’s hard to choose favorites, but they’re all so lovable. If you have a name you adore, feel free to share it in the comments!
