When a group of dog rescuers arrived at the market to show the dogs available for adoption, somebody had left 12 puppies on the street – 8 of them were approximately 5 weeks old.

In shock, the rescuers didn’t know what to do. The group had recently canceled several adoption days at the market because of bad weather, so they were over their capacity with puppies still needing to be adopted out. Also, the abandoned puppies were so small that they needed to be fed every two hours, including at night.

That’s when a spayed stray dog approached, lay down beside the shoe box where the puppies were sleeping, and began caring for them.

She wouldn’t let anyone get near the babies.

Very carefully, the rescuers placed the puppies closer to her.

She began caressing them and offering the warmth of her belly to the newborns.

The maternal instinct kicked in and…

after a few hours, she had milk and was feeding the puppies.

The rescue group named her Vida, which means “life” in Portuguese.

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals in their shelters.

It takes less than a minute (only about 15 seconds actually) to go to their site and click on the purple box titled, ‘Click Here to Give - it’s FREE!’. Every click gives about .6 bowls of food to sheltered dogs. You can also click daily!

Keep in mind that this does not cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. [via.]

Joule was actually playing with Nishiime (which was a bit impressive)! And I think she’s enjoying actually being bigger and able to take the pup down if need be. I know I’m going to be thankful Joule will be able to help entertain this mutt over the next week. :3

And the brat has finally quieted down in her kennel. Kind of.

Prepare yourself.

For quite a few puppy pictures.

My bedroom is looking pretty freaking awesome.

If I do say so myself. Or, at least, I see the potential and can kind of imagine all the crap off the surfaces. But the floor is (mostly) empty! Wow this doesn’t sound nearly as impressive.

But it will be clean enough for an adorable new puppy to run around on it as of tomorrow night after I retrieve it from Mobile. 8 hours of driving in one day, wooh!

Her name is currently Cece and she’s part Newfoundland and she’ll technically be my mom’s but for the next week she is all mine and I will be taking so many pictures.
