An American Pit Bull Terrier mama named Betty, and her 13 pups, are looking for a quiet, loving foster home where they can grow and recover as they prepare for adoption (photo courtesy of Arizona Humane Society).
Betty and her baker’s dozen came to the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) in late July after she was found by a Good Samaritan as a sick stray and very pregnant. Dehydrated and in need of help for herself and her future pups, the pregnant mama had nowhere else to turn.
The three-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier was taken into the shelter’s Mutternity Suites, a quiet, medically supervised area for pregnant and nursing dogs, where she has been undergoing care for tummy issues. After a few days of care, Betty gave birth to 13 puppies and now the whole family is hoping for a quiet, loving Foster Hero home for a couple of months as they grow big and strong.
Being an AHS Foster Hero is a lifesaving venture with cases that fit every family and lifestyle. By bringing in a foster pet(s), residents allow AHS to continue caring for even more of the community’s sick, injured and abused pets by opening up much-needed kennel space.
