Update: February 27, 2011
Dara and four of her pups have recovered and are doing wonderfully well. Without your help, they would not have survived. Thanks so much to all who donate to Malinois Rescue and help the many Mals in need! Dara and the pups will be available soon for adoption. Loving, active homes who are willing to give these sweeties a job or a sport to enjoy will be preferred. Pups may be available on spay-neuter contracts to the right homes.

Saturday, January 15, 2011 Rescue hear's about a pregnant Malinois in a Chicago Shelter. About the time arrangements began to come together in order to spring her it was discovered she had already delivered her puppies in conditions that were totally unsuitable to insure the survival of the pups. Initial photos, see image at the top of this page, showed a very emaciated Mama Mal and ELEVEN puppies confined to what looks like a P400 crate, ACKKKKKKK!

Within 3 hrs word came that, through the combined efforts of several people and rescues, transportation to a foster home was being done the next day. By the evening of the 16th they were in their foster home and under gone their first vet check.

Within days Dara was fighting for her life in intensive care, suffering from severe emaciation and pneumonia. After several days in the critical care unit, Dara is recovering in isolation at her foster home.

Her puppy's saga however continues. Now being hand fed they began to succumb to a bacterial infection and were placed on antibiotics. The sad part is that by the 20th three puppies had been lost and an additional three puppies would die before the infection passed. Pink girl, one of the five remaining puppies, has had to be hospitalized because she aspirated formula.

The on going expenses for Dara and her puppies now tops $4200.00, and expected to grow. Our supporters know that this is a major expense for our rescue so we are asking for help to meet all the medical expenses this wonderful, sweet, rescued Mom and her puppies have created for our Malinois Rescue Fund.

ABMC Rescue works very hard to maximise the number of dogs we help with the funds entrusted to us by supporters. This emergency rescue with the on going medical needs were not part of our anticipated expenses. We just couldn't turn away from Dara and puppies because she and the conditions she was in are the reason we all are part of the Rescue.

Our very sincere Thanks!
ABMC Rescue
