Dog Who Has Been Through So Much Needs Your Help

LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Mama has been through a lot. It's no wonder she looks so sad.

Mama was brought to the shelter bleeding and in pain by a person who claimed to have found the distraught dog "nesting" in his backyard, according a post on the Associated Human Societies Popcorn Park Animal Shelter Facebook page.

His claims that the dog just wandered into his backyard turned out not to be true.

Mama was in labor, having trouble and needed emergency surgery.

"Sadly, all of her puppies died and had to be surgically removed," the post states. "Mama also needed her uterus removed as she was suffering with pyometra, a life-threatening condition. Mama came through her surgery like a real trooper and now, it's time to begin on the road to recovery."

Mama is being tenderly taken care of in an administrative office at Popcorn Park. She is being kept comfortable and her medical issues are being taken care of.

"She is just the sweetest girl that bonds with people quickly and just can't get enough attention," the post states.

Popcorn Park is asking for donations to its Res-Q-Fund for Mama. She will be ready for a good family soon.

To make a donation toward her care, please text ResQ to 501501 to make a $10.00 donation, or click here to donate to our Res-Q Fund:https://www.ahscares.org/shop/item.asp?itemid=28&catid=5

Popcorn Park has turned Mama's case over to the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

"We are hopeful that the person responsible for causing Mama such pain and sadness will be brought to justice..." the post states.

If you would like to meet Mama, please call 609-693-1900.
