After being cruelly thrust over a 6-ft fence and abandoned amongst dumpsters, new mama Adira was found absolutely distraught. Bone thin and covered in fleas and ticks, this sweet girl has endured a lifetime of exploitation, used for her babies, and then discarded like trash.

​

Poor Adira was recently found abandoned. This sweet girl was noticed by a passerby. She was in an area with several dumpsters surrounded by a 6-ft tall fence. The only way Adira could have gotten into this area is by being thrown over the fence by a human. To make matters even more heartbreaking, it looks like Adira just recently gave birth. She is still full of milk, but no puppies were found in the area. We searched tirelessly but found no trace of Adira’s puppies. Adira was likely used for her babies, and then discarded shortly after they were born. Separating Adira from her babies in this way puts this mama at risk of developing mastitis, a bacterial infection in the mammary gland. 

​

Adira was distraught when we picked her up. She didn’t know what happened to her babies and was desperately searching for them. Clearly the victim of vile neglect, Adira was likely fed just enough to keep her alive. This poor girl was skin and bones and covered in fleas and ticks. We will be taking Adira to the vet as soon as possible, and we wouldn’t be surprised if she tested positive for Heartworm Disease. This poor girl had no one to care for her, but that ends now. Despite all that she has endured, Adira is as sweet as can be, and we are determined to give this girl the life that she deserves. 

​

Adira is now safely in our care, and she will be with us until she has a clean bill of health. Adira will get spayed as she will never be exploited for her puppies again. She will also receive basic vet care, including vaccinations. We will clear up her infestation of fleas and ticks, and ensure that she is treated for any other medical issues we discover during her vet exam.
