A dog was found wandering the streets, heavily pregnant and being chased by children. They were trying to hit hr with sticks. She was neglected, abused and desperately needed some help. A stranger rescued her and dropped her off at a kill shelter, cold and alone. Her time was almost up when a group of kindhearted souls rescued her. Almost immediately after leaving the shelter, something amazing happened.
She went into labor.
Betty was in bad shape when found in the shelter.

After being alone and stressed for so long, the poor girl didn’t know what to make of life.
Imgur
Not only that, but she was heavily pregnant.
Imgur
Within an hour of leaving the shelter, she had her pups!
Imgur
Betty couldn’t even wait to leave the car.
Imgur
The little mommy was skinny and shy.
Imgur
She was sweet, though.
Imgur
Not only that, but she was a terrific mother.
Imgur
At one point, a pup became sick and wouldn’t feed…
Imgur
But with mommy’s help, it made a triumphant comeback.
Imgur
Soon, he was fat and happy.
Imgur
The pups were growing quickly.
Imgur
Not only that, but they got tons of love (unlike what their experience would have been like in a shelter).
Imgur
Oh, what’s under there?
Imgur
I want to kiss those wee paws.
Imgur
The happy, squirmy family.
Imgur
The pups were soon getting their own adorable personalities.
Imgur
Like this little ham!
Imgur
Betty was an exhausted, but proud, mommy.

A final family nap before adoption.
Imgur
When adoption day came, every puppy quickly found a forever home.
Imgur
So many wonderful families were excited to take Betty’s puppies.
Imgur
They would never wander the streets like their momma.
Imgur
They didn’t know it yet, but these pups were about to be extremely spoiled.
Imgur
Especially by these two little girls.
Imgur
Even Betty found a loving home!
Betty and her puppies could have had such a tragic ending. Instead of getting rescued, Betty could have died on the streets or in the shelter. Rescuing and fostering dogs is a wonderful act of kindness. Not only are you doing good, but you’re saving lives. If you’d like to help out your local rescue operations, donate to the ASPCA or Humane Society. Every little bit helps animals like Betty!
If you loved her happy ending, share it with others.
