Replying to @bebabebe365(yadi) Sorry for the delayed update! I share more on Instagram. Shortcakes is happy to be off the streets. She wasn’t microchipped and doesn’t appear anyone is looking for her. We gave her Nexgard for fleas and took her to the vet for vaccines, ProHeart6, Heartworm test and spay. Unfortunately she tested positive for Heartworms and will have to go through the same lengthy treatment our other foster dogs are going through ☹️ I saw all the concerned comments about us possibly leaving puppies behind and asking if we searched for the puppies. Shortcakes was not nursing, she was pregnant and we chose to spay abort. Unfortunately we have hundreds of homeless puppies and pregnant street dogs roaming waiting for someone to help. They are suffering and dying due to no fosters, no adopters and it doesn’t make sense to force Shortcakes to add more when there’s not enough homes. If a dog can be safely spayed, that’s the route we have to take. She is the 357th dog we’ve taken in to our home. If you don’t live here or foster the amount of dogs we do, it can be hard to comprehend how bad it is. Angry, upset? Me too, become a foster home today. If you leave hateful comments, I hope you are volunteering all your time fostering mom+litters. Our streets and shelters are drowning in them and we can’t keep up. I have fostered multiple mom+litters myself and it’s not without risks. They can have labor complications, need ER visits that cost thousands, some moms don’t want to nurse at all or don’t have milk, they can become aggressive, mastitis, it’s not uncommon for puppies to fade first couple weeks, this is all stressful on mom and the foster. We’re helping her avoid all these unnecessary risks with a simple spay and now we can move on to getting her healthy and adopted ❤️ - @streetheartstx
