(27) Momma Dog: She is around 4-5 years old and weighs 29 lbs. Momma Dog has a very long story. She was first dumped off and tied to someone’s fence. A neighbor decided to keep her and was not very responsible. She got pregnant and became very protective over her pups. Her owner at the time weaned her pups off at 4-5 weeks old, and another county humane society took them but wouldn’t take Momma Dog as she was too protective over them. Her owner then decided to tie her to a Dumpster and leave her. Had the trash guys not seen and untied her, she wouldn’t be here today. She is doing much better and is looking for her perfect home. All she wants is love! Intake date: 4/24/24.
