Many good Samaritans see and report sad cases of animal neglect and abuse, and as the colder months approach, many of those calls are regarding Animals that have been given inadequate shelter from the elements.
The Richmond Animal Care and Control in Richmond, Virginia, was made aware of a case involving a very pregnant pit bull mix that had been left outdoors in freezing temperatures, with no shelter except a wooden doghouse full of water, according to what one RACC worker said in a video posted to their Facebook page.
The RACC seized the pup on Friday evening, and it was clear that the Dog — who they named “Mama Manolo” — was ready to pop any moment.
“When we take dogs from the freezing cold who are so pregnant they are ready to pop, this is what we do!” the RACC shared on Dec. 23.
“This sweet girl (Mama Manolo) is going to Virginia Veterinary Centers for the night, in case she goes into labor — we didn’t want her to be alone! We are so thankful for our veterinary community at VVC, and to our RACC Foundation for supporting this extra cost.”
