... And the Tenth Save of Christmas is Anna Livia.

Our Tenth Save of Christmas is a tribute to Moms. Momma dogs, momma cats, they are amazing. Anna Livia was brought to the SPCA after a citizen reported a dog had given birth in his shed. Upon arriving, the animal control officer found Anna Livia, with six pups, their eyes still closed, only about a week old. Two other dogs were also with her. The man had seen the dogs hanging around and set up his shed with some nice bedding so the dogs

had a warm place at night. Anna Livia, her pups, and the other two dogs were brought to the SPCA. After clinic staff assessed them and took care of some basic care, they immediately focused their efforts on finding them a foster home. The Bridges family stepped forward, even building a welping box, and brought Anna Livia and her pups home.


Anna Livia was such a sweet, gentle soul but first and foremost, she was a good mom. She cared for her pups and provided them daily nourishment and attention. She cleaned them and taught them proper puppy manners. So in all the cuteness of the puppies and kittens, this is a reminder to us all -- we should never forget the moms that raised these little ones.

Momma cats and momma dogs --

remember them, applaud them, adopt them.

Anna Livia is now a permanent member of the Diamond Family!

Thank you to the entire Bridges Family, an incredibly dedicated foster family, for helping Anna Livia raise a great group of pups.
