1. Gemma the German Shepherd is rescued, but she’s not the only one

Gemma was turned into a shelter by her owners because she was suffering with severe skin issues that they couldn’t take care of. She had scabs and oil all over her. She was scratching uncontrollably and was in a great deal of pain. She had never been to a vet for the problem, so she began to get treatment and it was determined she had a severe case of Demodectic Mange. She was eventually turned over to a rescuer who continued to give her round the clock care, and as the rescuer did, she began to realize that Gemma was gaining weight, in her belly. An ultrasound confirmed that Gemma was pregnant with 5 pups, and all were eventually born happy and healthy. The pups were adopted out quickly but Gemma had to wait to get her forever home, just be sure she was healthy and over her health issues. Eventually Gemma did get a new home and you can see her enjoying her new life, ad her story by watching the video above.
