When a call came in about a stray dog and her newborn puppies seeking refuge near a factory, rescuers knew they had to act fast. Arriving on the scene, they discovered the devoted mother, later named Cura, lying protectively beside her litter of seven. The tiny pups huddled close to their mom, relying on her for warmth and comfort. Cura’s gaze revealed deep sadness as if she had long given up hope of being saved. Fearful of the unknown, the mother and her babies trembled as the rescuers approached.
Despite Cura’s obvious desperation, her maternal instincts made her wary of the humans. She guarded her puppies fiercely, unwilling to let anyone come close. The situation grew even more heartbreaking when the team discovered that three of the puppies didn’t make it. Determined to help the family, the rescuers offered food in hopes of earning the mother’s trust.
The rescuers soon noticed that Cura was injured, making her rescue all the more urgent. While the puppies, eager for nourishment, warmed up to the team quickly, Cura remained cautious. In her attempts to escape, she became trapped between two concrete light poles. It took two and a half painstaking hours for one rescuer to carefully crawl in and free her.
Once reunited with her surviving puppies, Cura was taken to a veterinary hospital. Despite their best efforts, the team’s worst fears were realized. Cura’s injuries were too severe, and she passed away. The rescuers were heartbroken but inspired by her unwavering strength in protecting her young until the very end. The puppies survived because of her unwavering love and devotion.
The veterinary team immediately treated the pups for fleas and parasites and started them on a regimen of nutritious food. Under the care of their rescuers, the puppies began to heal. Slowly but surely, they found their appetite, grew stronger, and became more playful with each passing day.
Six months later, all of Cura’s puppies found loving homes. Two females were adopted together, enjoying their days playing in a big yard and receiving endless affection from their new family. Her boys, initially shy, soon blossomed in their new homes, embracing the safety and love they had long been missing.
Cura’s legacy lives on through her puppies, who now thrive thanks to her bravery and the dedication of the rescuers who refused to give up on them. Her passing is heartbreaking, but knowing she clung on until her puppies were in safe hands is a touching reminder of a mother’s devotion.
