Abandoned And Brave Mama Dog Fought To Keep Her Newborn Babies Alive By Eating Garbage
A Brave Mother Dog Refused to Give Up on Her Puppies After Being Abandoned
My heart aches at the thought of the pain dogs must feel when the people they love most turn away and leave them behind.
All at once, they lose everything: the comfort of a home, the warmth of companionship, and the humans they trusted with their entire hearts.
Abandoned at the Worst Time
Indah, a loving mama dog, experienced that heartbreak firsthand. Her owner heartlessly left her and her newborn puppies at a garbage dump near a local market.
With no one to care for them and nowhere to go, Indah’s only concern was her helpless babies. They were hungry, too young to fend for themselves, and desperately needed her milk to survive.
With nothing else to eat, the devoted mother resorted to digging through trash just to nourish herself—hoping it would be enough to keep producing milk for her little ones.
Crying Out for Help—And Being Turned Away
Indah often approached market-goers, trying to get their attention. But instead of kindness, she was met with fear and rejection. People misunderstood her barking and believed she was dangerous, chasing her away.
Thankfully, some children who lived nearby noticed her distress. Although Indah was cautious and barked at them out of fear, they saw past it. When they realized they couldn’t help on their own, they reached out to a local rescue organization.
A Fearful Mother Just Trying to Protect Her Babies
When the rescuers arrived, they saw a frightened and exhausted dog who kept her distance. But once they discovered that she was only trying to shield her puppies, their hearts broke.
Indah had hidden her newborns—whose eyes were still closed—among the trash to keep them safe.
With patience and food, the rescuers slowly gained her trust. She eventually allowed them to approach and help.
Rescue and Recovery
Indah finally felt safe enough to let them carry her puppies. She looked on with relief as her tiny babies were gently lifted. For the first time in a while, she wasn’t alone.
The team took the family to a veterinary clinic for a full checkup.
Indah, estimated to be around 1 to 1.5 years old, was underweight and covered in ticks. She also had scabies. The vet confirmed she had been surviving on garbage, though thankfully no surgery was needed.
The vet and rescuers were amazed by her strength—and the selfless love that had driven her to endure so much for her pups.
A New Beginning for the Little Family
Despite all they’d been through, Indah’s babies were healthy and full of life. At the rescue center, they received proper care, nutritious food, and—most importantly—love.
Indah finally had a warm, safe space where she could relax and nurse her puppies. She seemed to understand she was finally in good hands. The staff gave her plenty of cuddles, and she soaked up every bit of affection.
A Happy Ending in Sight
As time passed, the puppies grew strong and found wonderful forever homes. With her babies safe and loved, Indah could finally focus on herself.
She now spends her days playing and enjoying life with the people who saved her. Her once-sorrowful eyes now shine with happiness.
We hope this resilient and loving mama will soon find the perfect family to call her own. She deserves a future filled with joy, just as much as the babies she fought so hard to protect.
