When Big Paw Rescue received a call about a stray dog suspected of having puppies in the woods, they knew immediate action was needed. Ken, one of the rescuers, arrived equipped with a drone to locate the mother and her pups. Using the drone, they tracked the mama dog into the woods, not knowing what to expect.
What they found left them speechless. The resourceful mother, later named Mabel, had constructed a makeshift shelter for her two puppies using driftwood and an old chair. It was a touching display of her determination to keep her little ones safe despite the harsh conditions.
After confirming there were no other puppies in the area, the rescuers returned with a humane trap to bring Mabel in. She was understandably scared and hesitant, but with patience and gentle care, they succeeded in gaining her trust. Once safe, Mabel and her puppies began their journey toward a brighter future.
Mabel, who was once wary and reserved, blossomed in her new environment. Her warm and loving personality shone through as she adjusted to life with humans who cared for her deeply. After being adopted, both Mabel and her puppies found forever homes filled with love and comfort.
Today, Mabel is a playful, affectionate dog whose story is a testament to the lengths a mother will go to protect her young and the transformative power of rescue.
