As they asked around, locals informed them the dogs were strays, surviving in the area for days with no food or care.
Their malnourished, exhausted state broke the girls’ hearts, prompting them to give the dogs some much-needed food and water.
The mama dog showed her gratitude by eating only a little and leaving the rest for her baby. This act of love spurred the girls to contact rescuers immediately.

Even though the rescuers were delayed, the girls stayed with the dogs until help arrived, ensuring they weren’t left alone.
The rescuers carefully examined the duo and noticed the puppy had a health issue. Meanwhile, the exhausted mother slept deeply, only waking gently when it was time to move her.
A Heartbreaking Diagnosis
At the veterinary clinic, tests revealed that both the mama dog and her puppy were suffering from Ehrlichia, a bacterial infection caused by ticks.
In addition to this, they were anemic and dealing with infected skin, making their condition critical.

The vets speculated the mother may have been abandoned after being used for breeding, as she only had one puppy and no signs of proper care.

For treatment, the mother and pup were briefly separated, causing the mama dog visible distress.
But when they reunited, her joy was undeniable as she immediately resumed caring for her baby.
A Forever Family Together
After weeks of treatment and care, both dogs made a remarkable recovery and were almost completely healthy.
They were given new names: Ala for the mother and Mafa for the puppy.
The rescuers, determined to keep the bonded pair together, only considered adoption offers for both dogs as a unit.

While offers for Mafa came in, none included Ala, making the search for a home more challenging.
Ultimately, the rescuers made the heartfelt decision to adopt Ala and Mafa themselves, ensuring they would stay together in a loving environment.
Now, this once-desperate mama dog and her puppy are thriving, enjoying life with the people who saved them when they needed it most.
