Maria the German was forced to mate despite being paralyzed from the hips down. But when her breeder realized that her next delivery would require a $3,000 caesarean section, they abandoned her without hesitation.
But Emma Medical Rescue’s friends find the terrified pregnant dog and take her to help her give birth. The poor girl was severely anemic, covered in fleas and infections, and had to drag her heavy body through the grass.

Maria ended up giving birth while she is in rescue care, becoming a mother to seven healthy, beautiful dogs! Dachshund received treatment and further care while at the shelter to help her get back on her feet. She’s much better now thanks to these kind people!
Update: Since the video was posted, Maria and all of her seven sweet dogs have found their forever loving homes!
