The two dogs didn't know each other, yet their backstories were sadly similar.
Both Kila and Susie had been neglected in their previous homes.
A double surprise
When Susie was examined first, rescuers discovered she was pregnant. The shelter immediately got ready to welcome a litter. But during Kila's vet check, staff had a second surprise: Kila was pregnant too! The team had to completely reorganise to support both mothers-to-be and their upcoming litters.
Susie gave birth to seven puppies, while Kila welcomed 11 little ones. In total, the two dogs brought 18 puppies into the world. Both mothers were given a safe, peaceful environment to care for their young.
A fresh start
Rescuers watched the puppies thrive and cared for them until they were ready for adoption. One by one, all 18 puppies left the shelter to start their new lives. Sadly, no one offered to adopt the two mums. Today, Kila and Susie are still waiting for their turn.
Yet both dogs are utterly delightful. Kila loves relaxing on the sofa, going for walks, enjoying treats, and meeting new people. Susie craves affection and loves gentle walks just as much as cuddles.
The shelter hopes to shine a light on Kila and Susie to give them the best possible chance of finding their forever homes. We hope they find them very soon!
Susie is still waiting for a family
