Soon after rescuing the dog, they noticed that she had milk. That’s when they knew this dog was a new mama and had puppies somewhere nearby. Rescuers knew they had to search for them and act quickly.

They went right to the underbrush where the mama dog was living to see if her pups where there. Rescues pushed branches aside and crawled to bushes until they finally discovered a little den. 

Inside the den, a hole in the ground that was like a ‘safe haven,’ were not just a few puppies, but THIRTEEN! Their mama did such a great job hiding them to keep them safe and warm.

Rescuers gently placed the puppies into a container one by one before bringing them and their mom back to their rescue. 

There, they were able to give the mom and pups the medical care they needed. The mom will be undergoing surgery on her injured leg, and all of the puppies will be spayed and neutered and eventually put up for adoption once they are old enough. In the meantime, Stray Rescue of St. Louis is looking for people/families to foster puppies. 

They offer classes and have more information on their website, which you can read by clicking here.

  Bobga, the baby gorilla from Cameroon is being taken care of by the friendly staff at the Limbe Wildlife Centre’s nursery. 

You can see how close Bobga has bonded with his caretakers, as he is seeing cuddling with carer Alvin Muma. Bobga has a large and safe enclosure where he can hang out when he’s not playing in the nursery with Alvin or others. Laura Craddock, Fundraising and Communications co-ordinator for the center says: “It is important for an orphan gorilla, like Bobga, to feel safe and secure with his caretaker and here these pictures capture tender moments of rest between Bobga and one of his dedicated caretakers, Alvin.” 

 Here’s a video showing Bobgas daily care:

 

“Foraging, playing, learning social skills, stimulating curiosity, climbing and grooming all are crucial elements of his rehabilitation, as is the rest.”

Gary Miles, founder and owner of Placitas Animal Rescue, said a Game and Fish officer called him and told him that he could be arrested for being in possession of the fox. “He wanted to come and get (the fox), and I said no because he would not tell me what he was going to do with it,” Miles said. Miles was concerned the animal would be destroyed. 

The fox, which was found in the trap on Dec. 30, is once more free. “Officially, it escaped, ” Miles said. “Its skin was broken (by the trap), but it healed up real nice. He ran up a hill on all fours. He was not limping or screeching.” 

Trapping, with certain restrictions, is legal on public lands in New Mexico if the trapper is licensed. Open season for trapping fox, badger, weasel, ringtail and bobcat is Nov. 1 to March 15.
