Maria’s owners a.ban.don.ed her when she was pregnant…
As with many dogs in the “care” of backyard breeders, Maria the Dachshund was ne.glec.ted.
Then, when her owners realized she would need a C-section that would cost $3000, they d.u.m.p.e.d her.

That’s when Friends Of Emma came to the rescue! The organization saves many special needs pups and Maria was definitely in need of a loving hand.
But Friends Of Emma were determined to give her and her babies a fresh, new start.

After having her babies (all seven of which were born healthy!), Maria began a routine of physiotherapy to help her with her paralysis and her back.

Just wait until you see her at 2:05! I couldn’t stop crying. The happiness continued on after this video was made and Maria and ALL her puppies have been adopted into wonderful homes!
Watch and share this heartwarming rescue with your family and friends!
