Even though a lot of animal shelters rely on puppy formula and bottle feeding to care for stray abandoned puppies, there is nothing like the warmth and nurturing puppies receive from nursing on their mama.
Sadly, a lot of times puppies are brought into shelters with either their own mom lost or deceased after an accident, which is where a surrogate mama can sometimes step in to help out.
TikTok user @Derae26 posted the following video to their account, and this is what pure love looks like.
The video description reads, “17 puppies from 3 different litters brought into the shelter today. No momma dog. This stray momma was introduced to the puppies & as you can see she said “let me be their momma.”
As touching and as beautiful as this video is, it also serves as a gentle reminder to please spay or neuter your dogs. There are far too many unwanted dogs in the world and every one of them deserves a loving home.
