Imagine being cast aside when you need help the most.
That’s the heartbreaking story of Ruthie, a senior dog abandoned at a sanctuary while in labor. Her ordeal was far from over.
After a perilous C-section and two near-death experiences, Ruthie miraculously survived. But her suffering wasn’t behind her.
Despite the valiant efforts of veterinarians, all 21 of her newborn puppies tragically passed away.
The pups were undersized and likely deprived of vital nutrients during their time in the womb.
Ruthie, now a grieving mother, is slowly recovering in a foster home.
The Boone Area Humane Society is determined to bring justice to Ruthie’s abuser.
However, Iowa’s weak animal welfare laws make it an arduous task.
Ruthie’s story is a stark reminder of the cruelty that animals face.
It’s a call to action for stronger animal protection laws and increased compassion for our furry friends.
