Lara, who is believed to be a Pit bull mix, sadly lived with the wrong people for far too long.
While she was pregnant, her former owner brought her to a forest near Nafplion, Greece, and left her chained up in the middle of nowhere, where she was forced to give birth alone, with no food, water, or shelter.
Lara managed to survive and kept her puppies alive for ten days in the cold weather and rain before they were finally rescued.
The saddest part, is that people living in the village nearby knew about Lara, but did not help her and her puppies or give them food or water.
When her rescuers first saw her, they were overwhelmed with sadness. Lara was in horrible shape. She was malnourished so badly that all her ribs were sticking out. She was also dehydrated, scared, and in total shock.
Unfortunately, one of her puppies didnโt survive, but the other three have recovered well.
She has fostered nearly 300 dogs within the past five years. Many of them came to her on the brink of death, and she successfully nursed them back to full health. Thereโs no doubt that sheโll do the same for Lara and her puppies.
There are also too many unwanted puppies, which is why it is so important to spay and neuter your pets!
