The Canine Family In Need Of Help
Kristin Erwin, a dedicated rescuer, was driving along a bustling Texas road when she noticed something moving in the bushes. She immediately pulled over and discovered a mama dog and her six puppies seeking shelter from the rain. The mother, exhausted and watchful, had sorrowful eyes that tugged at Erwin’s heart.
Determined to get them to safety, Erwin learned that animal control had been trying to rescue this family for over a year. The mother dog, however, had always evaded capture. When Erwin approached, the furry family fled their hiding spot, prompting her to follow them cautiously from a distance.
“Mom was skittish of people, but she tried her best to keep them safe,” Erwin shared on TikTok. The family eventually entered a crate left by someone, and Erwin seized the moment to close the door. Despite the door not latching, she sat by the crate, ensuring their safety, and called for help.
The mother dog, confused and defeated, didn’t yet realize that her life and her puppies’ lives were about to change for the better. Erwin’s quick actions had secured the family, and they were finally safe.
Decompressing In A Loving Home
Erwin brought the canine family home, where the mama dog initially looked at her with distrust. On their first day, the mother dog’s worried expression conveyed her anxiety. Observing that the mama allowed her to handle the puppies, Erwin felt confident she could gain her trust.
“She lets me handle her chunky babies and change their bedding. These are all good signs. She’ll come around, poor girl just needs time to trust,” Erwin posted on Facebook. The puppies, on the other hand, were thrilled to be in a warm home, constantly cuddling with their mom.
The mama dog was reluctant to leave the crate and refused to go outside. Erwin, with her giant heart, patiently worked to make her comfortable. She hand-fed the mama dog, showering her with love and positive affirmations, doing everything she could to earn her trust.
Joy filled Erwin’s heart when the mama dog finally wagged her tail and allowed her rescuer to cuddle her. Gradually, the bond strengthened, and Erwin lovingly carried the dog outside, marking the beginning of their trust-filled relationship.
Hoping To Find Their Happiness
As trust grew, the mama dog’s heart filled with hope. No longer did she appear heartbroken or distrustful; instead, she began to smile and soak in all the love Erwin offered. “She was so tired and ready to be helped. Now we can celebrate all her accomplishments and tell her how loved she is,” Erwin wrote.
Forgotten Coast Animal Rescue in Houston, Texas, took over the care of the brave mama and her puppies. With their future looking brighter, the family began their journey towards finding forever homes.
As soon as they’re ready, the canine family will start their search for loving parents who can provide them with the endless affection all dogs deserve. Their journey from despair to hope is a testament to the power of compassion and love.
We can only hope that they find families who will cherish and adore them, offering the infinite love they’ve longed for. This chapter in their lives marks a new beginning, filled with promise and possibility.
