Woman Overwhelmed When Her Rescue Pit Bull Places Her 11 Newborn Puppies Into Her Lap

ADVERTISEMENT

When Grayce the rescue pit bull gave birth to 11 puppies, she put all of them into her foster mom’s lap, one by one. “I think she feels unsure still as a new mom,” Stevoni Wells Doyle tells The Dodo. “And she needed love and reassurance from someone she loves and trusts.”

The woman says Grayce had been neglected in her previous home, and “needed a safe environment to have her pups.” Doyle, who has fostered hundreds of dogs before, believes that animals need us: “We are their voice and we need to protect them.” However, never before has Doyle experienced being handed in puppies by a dog mum in such a touching way. “I was honored that she choose me to trust with her pups and herself,” Doyle says. “I’m still overwhelmed with her love.”

Grayce and her pups will be ready for adoption in 8 weeks through the group called Rescue Rovers (Utah families only).

There are some aggressive pitties, but most of them are mushpots who only want to be loved. :)

My cat placed all her kittens on my neck, while I was asleep. I think they just need to be with you, but don't want to leave their babies behind. She wants the family together.

Grayce knows who saved her and she knows she can trust you. That is special. We have rescue dogs - when you earn their trust it is an amazing thing. Watching them as they come into their own over time. She's a beautiful dog and must be a smart cookie to learn you are safe so quickly. As for being covered in wriggly puppies - the best thing ever!

*GASP* I adopted my border collie mix from Rescue Rovers!!! They are such a great organization. If they hadn't rescued him, he would've been euthanized at 4 months old in an overcrowded shelter. They took great care of him until I took over. And now he's snuggling with me in my bed as I type this. He has no idea that he also rescued me during a horribly difficult time in my life. I love him more than anything or anyone in the world right now. I owe Rescue Rovers big time!!!

It's a bit sad when you realize she's only a foster mother - this dog has grown to trust her and will soon be taken away and given to a stranger.

Hopefully that won't be the case. She could easily become a "failed foster", which is essentially a person who ends up adopting their foster.

Rescuing a dog, then having 11 pups defeats the purpose of the rescue. There are too many dogs (and cats) in shelters. Spay and neuter your pets.

I don't know if she was rescued being already pregnant or if they rescue her to turn a profit with the puppies. I want to be really wrong.

She was already pregnant. I've purchased dogs from this organization before. They usually spay/neuter all their dogs. The vast majority of their dogs come from overcrowded animal shelters. The dogs that are next in line to be euthanized (simply because they weren't adopted fast enough) are adopted by Rescue Rovers & placed into foster homes until they can find their "forever home"

She's a foster for a rescue group. Did you read the article? They rescued the pregnant dog & she is fostering them until they are all old enough to go to new home through the rescue group she works with.
