Miss Valentine was barely hanging on when rescuers spotted her limping badly along the roadside. At first, it looked like she had a broken leg, but what no one knew was that she had something even more urgent to protect—her newborn puppies, hidden away in a cold, soaking-wet trash shed.

A Desperate Rescue Mission

🐾 Miss Valentine was found malnourished, injured, and unable to reach her babies
🐶 She had a painful nerve injury (Brachial Plexus Avulsion), likely from a fall
🗑️ Her litter of tiny, newborn puppies was found shivering in a trash shed
💔 With no way to climb back to them, they wouldn’t have survived much longer

A Second Chance for Mom and Her Babies

With the help of rotisserie chicken and a well-placed trap, Miss Valentine was safely caught. After talking to a nearby resident, rescuers searched the area and found her helpless, rain-soaked puppiesso cold they might not have made it through the night.

Now, this brave mama is healing, her puppies are growing fat and strong, and she’s slowly learning to trust the humans who saved her life. While she’s still shy and unsure, she’s safe for the first time in a long time.

💖 Miss Valentine’s journey is just beginning, but thanks to quick action, she and her babies now have a chance at the love they’ve never known.
