Phoenix is a six-year-old Lab mix in Warwick, RI, who needs $670 for emergency care.

This sad-looking mother dog was spared from euthanasia at the last possible moment. The shelter initially thought she was in heart failure because of her extended belly but quickly noticed she was producing milk and had pups wiggling around inside her belly. She needed help fast.

The moment Rhode Home Rescue heard about Phoenix, true to their name, they came to her rescue!

"Phoenix was incredibly anemic and weak," Nadine M., from the nonprofit group, tells Waggle. "She needed immediate fluids and veterinary support. She is currently at the Florence Veterinary Clinic in MS, where she gave birth to eleven perfect puppies. She will need heartworm treatment after she weans the pups as well."

Rhode Home Rescue is a 100% volunteer-run rescue. All funds they receive go to the dogs the organization saves. They never shy away from taking on a challenge. Many of these dogs would have died without care due to their medical needs. And by saving Phoenix, the group saved a dozen dogs! With your help, the entire family will have a great future.

"Phoenix is gentle, sweet, and holds no grudges. Everyone who has met her has quickly fallen in love with her calm and gentle spirit. She has been nothing short of amazing throughout her entire treatment, and we can't wait to see her blossom as she gains strength. She is a resilient and strong momma," Nadine adds.
