Do you remember the 9 chocolate lab mix puppies we posted about a month ago? 🤎 Well…this is their mama.
Meet Ruthie — now officially renamed Maye 💕
Several months ago, Maye entered the foster system with Peak Lab Rescue, and her now-owner tried to adopt her. What no one knew at the time? She was pregnant.
Instead of going home right away, Maye went to a whelping foster, delivered nine beautiful chocolate babies, and raised them until they were fully weaned and ready for their own families. (Yes — the same adorable chocolate crew we saw for their intakes 🥹.)
After her puppies were taken care of, it was finally Maye’s turn. She came to see us for her rescue spay — a little nervous, but so, so brave. She got plenty of love (including loving snuggles), recovered beautifully, and is now right where she was always meant to be...With her new family.
And if the matching pink harness and pink sweater don’t scream “meant to be,” we don’t know what does. 💗
From rescue…to motherhood…to finally being someone’s baby.
This is why we love working with rescues. We don’t just see procedures, we get to witness journeys.
Happy forever, Maye. 💕
