5. Every day, her babies grew bigger. She gave all of her nutrition and energy to her puppies. She nearly gave her life, and probably would gladly have done so if given the opportunity.
6. The big day came, and she could wait no longer. She gave birth - tiny, alone, and frightened in a shelter. She gave birth to six stillborn babies.
7. She cleaned her babies,encouraging them to nurse. She didn’t understand why their hearts would not beat. What had she done wrong?
8. She couldn’t understand that it was not her fault.Her tiny, 6 lb. body could not support the babies inside of her. They were too big and she was deprived of nutrition for so long.
9. Her babies were taken from her, to be disposed of. She was to be next. Her rescuer came, not a momenttoo soon.
10. She has been taken to a safe place. A place where she can eat freely. A place where she can rest and quietly mourn her loss.
12. But, she is resilient.She is a fighter. She has been in foster care for only 3 days now. Already, her spirit is shining through.
13. Her name is Twinkle. And her future is bright.
14. But, many like Twinkle are sitting in shelters with undecided fate. So many others are in foster care, waiting for the right person to come along and give them a chance. For the sake of animals like Twinkle, GET INVOLVED.
15. Permanent homes and foster homes are desperately needed EVERYWHERE. Adopting and fostering are both truly rewarding experiences.
16. Even if you can’t take in a homeless animal,there are other ways to help!Support your local shelters and animal rescue organizations.
17. Most of us have wishlists,but the need for monetary donations is universal.
18. Please don’t miss an opportunityto make a difference. Even a small gift could mean the world to someone else.
