India Was Abandoned While Pregnant—Help Her and Her Puppies

Pacific Rim Rescue is helping India begin a new chapter after she was abandoned in the middle of the hop orchards in Washington’s Yakima Valley.

India and her six-month-old puppy, West, were found acres from the nearest main road, where agricultural workers discovered them and contacted our rescue partner on the Yakama Reservation to get them to safety. We don't know how they ended up there, and we may never know what India had been through before she was found.

What we do know is that India was abandoned at one of the most vulnerable times in her life. She's only about 1½ years old, and when she was rescued, she was very pregnant.

India is a sweet Brussels Griffon mix, likely with some Chihuahua, and she has completely stolen our hearts. She's calm, gentle, and incredibly loving, melting into the people caring for her. And with her enormous brown eyes and adorable snaggle tooth, it's easy to see why everyone is already obsessed with her.

Our veterinarian believes India is carrying four or five puppies, who are expected to arrive within the next couple of weeks. She now needs veterinary care throughout her pregnancy, and once her puppies are born, they'll need food, medical care, and everything they need to get a healthy start.

India's babies won't be born in a hop field. They won't grow up abandoned or left to fend for themselves. They'll be born somewhere warm and safe, with a full belly, veterinary care, and people watching over them from their very first breath.

Your donation will help Pacific Rim Rescue provide India with the veterinary care she needs during her pregnancy and help care for her puppies when they arrive.

India was thrown away when she needed someone most. Now, she has a rescue family fighting for her and her babies.

She made it out. And so will they.
