People who dump their dogs are the scum of the earth. There are more than enough resources in every city that will gladly accept a pup free of charge, but lowlife dog-dumpers are too ashamed to admit they're overwhelmed by their pet, and thus, 'return them to the wild.' Sorry to burst your prideful bubble, but domestic dogs don't belong in the wild, they belong in the warm loving embrace of their furever hoomans.

  • So while a dog's first owner might not be the best, a pup's final soul hooman can be found in a shelter. Luckily for the backwoods, stray puppers in this next story, the guy living next door to the abandoned humane society would accept his role as the eternal foster, helping a whole myriad of abandoned dogs find their destiny in a forever family. Keep scrolling for the wholesome tale of this compassionate man's latest rescue—a pawtentially pregnant beagle he found rummaging in his back shed… Only a few hundred feet from the old animal shelter.

  • too much stress because I have a suspicion she may be pregnant, which unfortunately would probably be the reason someone dumped her. I plan to take her to the vet to be scanned for a microchip, general vetting and find out for sure if she is pregnant but until then- does she look pregnant?

  • UPDATE 1: since it's now Monday I contacted the rescue that took in the litter of puppies dumped on my property last year. Through them I "fostered" the pups for 4 weeks and was able to have their vetting paid

  • ambiguous-aesthetic Based on the asymmetrical distended abdomen and enlarged /mammary glands (notably the ones closest to her rear) - I agree she definitely looks like she is pregnant. A vet will be able to say for sure. Thank you for providing her a a safe space until you find her home or find her a home.

  • shrek3onDVDandBluray People who dump dogs are inhuman. They're too embarrassed (or some just don't care) to face someone at a humane society and say "hey I can't take care of my dog anymore/don't want to, please take them in"

  • MeAndDuke This legit infuriates me. That poor dog looks so happy to have any human contact. OP please do whatever you can to find this dog a loving home.

  • spunandfunmaru ⚫ She looks mostly just chunky but has for sure had puppies before

  • Kristina Hartsuck That looks very suspiciously like a puppy bump to me. I would recommend taking her in to the vet for a checkup and xray
