Mona the Backyard Breeder Boxer
www.petrescuebyjudy.com My heart is broken! Look at this precious dog!!! Mona is a purebred Boxer, probably around 8 years old, who is in sad condition. She just had a litter of puppies, all of whom but one has died. One of our amazing volunteers is bottlefeeding that little one because Mona is too worn down to nurse her. She has mastitis ~ an infection of the mammary glands ~ and is nothing but skin and bones. We are extra concerned because we know she has been this underweight for at least a year. I **** to think how many litters of puppies this poor girl has borne. She was used for countless litters by a backyard breeder. The day after we got Mona she threw up a plastic garbage bag with a knot in it ~ certainly she has been scavaging for food in the trash cans of the person who owned her! This while nursing!!! I’m sorry, but this is so upsetting! We are determined to return her to health. Suprisingly, she is heartworm negative, so at least we don’t have to worry about that. We are putting her on a quality diet of food from Murphy’s Premium Pet Food Market along with medicine to clear up her infection. We need someone to foster her, to give her the love she so deserves. We suspect she is not fully housebroken only because we are pretty sure she was treated as an “outside dog” so her foster family will have to help her learn how to give signals when she needs to go out (long pitiful looks while sitting next to the door works in my house!). We also need sponsors to help offset the costs we will incur bringing this sweet dog back to health. I know she is “old” and maybe not as pretty as some of the other dogs, but she deserves a chance at a good life! Please help. Thanks!

Got something to say?
Mona is being adopted by a wonderful gentleman. He adopted a Suzy, asenior greyhound from us last summer. Read his tribute to Suzy on our You Tube video, “The Diary of a Volunteer Foster”. It will give you a sense of the heart of this man who has taken in this sweet dog.
Can we have an update of how she’s doing now? =]
So sad how people overbreed dogs. You can just check these Super Pit bull breeders’ females and see they’ve had 4+ litters in 3 years. one dog had a litter at 17 months old!
so sad. thankgod for volunteers, keep up the good work.
