A North Carolina man made a Facebook page in July about giving away his dog and her puppies. The community worked together to make sure they all found homes. The man’s dog, Nana, is 4 years old. Nana has spent the last three years of her life chained up outside.
She has given birth three times. None of the puppies from the first two litters survived. After Nana had given birth to her latest litter of nine puppies, the man decided to give her and her puppies up.
The staff at Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary (FFAS) heard about Nana and her puppies and stepped in to help too. FFAS contacted Mr. Bones & Co. Rescue for help.

Nana was very protective of her babies. Since she had lost her two previous litters, she wanted to take no chance with her new babies.
