Their story

New mom & puppies shouldn't be trying to Survive in a cement cage. They needed a Comfy home & extra care.

Mochi and her ten pups were at Lancaster Animal Care Center, which often has to euthanize dogs due to overcrowding. After 2 weeks of no rescue or foster interest, this little family was struggling in their cage and at risk. We're grateful to Concerned Citizens Animal Rescue for pulling all 11, and CA Shelter Bridge for their support. Now they're growing up in a foster home in LA, and getting ready for families of their own.

A quick health update

Totally Treatable, just not cheap

Mochi and all ten pups came out of the animal control center with upper respiratory and GI infections. The good news: it's all totally treatable. The hard part is that vet visits and medicine add up fast for eleven patients. Just one vet visit was over $1,000, and that's after the rescue discount.

They're being treated at Laurel Pet Hospital, and we're happy to send receipts and records from their vet visits.
