On June 1, 2026 we picked up 3 adult pit bulls. Their owner was was incarcerated and the family of the owner no longer wanted the responsibility of caring for the dogs. There were 2 females that were severely malnourished. Both of the females went to the vet and were both diagnosed with a horrible case of heartworms, one has a horrible old eye injury and malnourishment. We have been providing medical care and a nutritional diet to help them put on weight. Well one of the females named Riley, surprised us yesterday when she started giving birth to puppies. The poor mother has been through hell. She barely has teeth, highly heart worm positive and still underweight. I did find out that this is her 10th litter!!! Her eye was injured in a dog fight a long time ago, according to her owner and she never got vet care for it. This poor girl has been a breeding machine!! We are extremely worried if her body can survive raising another litter of babies. She is such a sweet girl. She will be going to the vet tomorrow for another check up by the vet. She will need donations to help cover her vet bill. With her teeth being in such horrible shape we will need to feed her can puppy food to help make sure she’s producing enough milk.
Now we need our followers, supporters, animal lovers to donate and share this post. We ask if anyone is able to order some of the dry puppy food, can puppy food and puppy pads we would greatly appreciate it. The puppy pads are on sale until July 5th!!
If your unable to donate we understand that as well please share this post and may be able to reach someone that can.
The food and puppy pads can be ordered online at Tractor Supply and put City of Winnfield Animal Shelter as the pickup person.
