Abandoned Dog Mommy Gives Birth To 14 Puppies On Christmas Eve

Last Christmas Eve at the Instituto Amor em Patas (IAPA) in São Paulo was nothing short of miraculous.

The staff received a very special guest, a pregnant dog named Natajuli, who was on the verge of giving birth.

Everyone was on hand to welcome her litter of puppies in the best possible conditions.

Abandoned Pregnant, Natajuli Arrived In Time For Christmas

Natajuli wasn’t always homeless. She had a home and a family until her pregnancy became visible, and fearfully, her owner abandoned her.

When she arrived at IAPA, she was weak and frightened, barely able to stand due to her condition and likely malnutrition.

However, she quickly felt safe in the caring hands of the IAPA staff, who prepared her for the birth of her puppies.

As Christmas Eve unfolded, the shelter was calm but filled with anticipation. The staff hung stockings and made preparations in hopes of a litter of puppies soon to arrive.

Natajuli, now comfortable and trusting in the safety of the shelter, was ready for her ultrasound which confirmed she was fit to give birth.
