When little Penny was born, everyone thought she would not make it. The little puppy was the only one to survive out of litter of five. Penny was born to a pit bull mama who bred too soon. The poor dog had no maternal instincts whatsoever, and that was the main reason her other babies did not survive. They say that she rejected her newborns completely. I am guessing you are wandering how come Penny survived. Well it all started three days after the little pooch was born. Candice, a devoted rescue and foster parent, was determined to give the pooch a chance at life.
This is Penny when Candice adopted her. She was really tiny and delicate. Now you can all understand why they daubted at her life.
Thanks to Candice’s devotion who bottled fed and burped the pooch, as well as potty trained her and made sure she’d feel loved, Penny started growing healthy day after day.
But Candice did not have only Penny to look after. Penny was an addition to a big family of 4 humans, 6 adopted and rescued dogs, 5 chickens, and 1 tortoise. But last year Penny celebrated her 1st birthday, and that shows the great care Penny has received all these months.
#tbt Volume up. Ever burped a puppy? Since I had gotten P at 3 days old I had to not only bottle feed her, but burp her, and make her go potty. Her first birthday is tomorrow so we will be celebrating for the next 2 days. If you have a birthday wish for P, tag us in the photo and #roofusandkilo so we can see and share! ❤ #adoptrescuefoster #rescuefamily #pitbull

“I never thought a year ago, when I brought you [Penny] home in a cardboard box at 3 days old, that this is where we’d be today. Any of it!” Candice wrote on Facebook. “I tried to save her brother as well but he did not survive the drive home. I wasn’t sure if she was going to make it.”
“We recently moved from California [to Eugene, Oregon] and purchased a 12 acre rescue ranch to foster, rehabilitate, and find great homes for dogs in need,” Candice writes on her website. If you want to help her make this happen, you can buy her calendars featuring Penny’s adorable journey growing up.
