Sometimes, you just need to be in the right place at the right time – and your whole life can change!
That’s exactly what happened to Penny Lane – a sweet, abandoned doggo wandering the streets without a plan. She was completely malnourished and in great need of a shelter when a kind passerby spotted her and immediately called for help.
The team of Lola’s Lucky Day, a rescue in Houston, Texas, immediately rushed into action to save this tiny girl who happened to keep a big secret at the time!

The good people of Lola’s Lucky Day brought Penny Lane into their facility, and soon enough, they learned – she was carrying a litter!
“Penny was found wandering as a stray and pregnant. A plea was put out to get her some help. Our volunteer drove out to get her safe and taken to the vet for x-rays. She was due any day now,” the rescue wrote on Facebook.

The team did everything they could to help this pregnant momma recover. Due to her long stay on the streets, she was extremely emaciated and didn’t eat properly, which caused her to lose her strength.
Even though it seemed that Penny would deliver her babies the natural way, the night she went into labor, she went through some complications.
Her caregivers took her to Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic, where she was examined. As it turned out, Penny needed a C-section in order to deliver her babies safely, as she was still quite malnourished.
“Her wonderful vet and staff at Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic decided she needed to have a c-section in order for her and the puppies to survive,” the LLD team wrote.
The surgery went extremely well, and only a few hours later – this stray momma was finally awake… only this time, with her beautiful furry babies! Penny Lane blossomed into a wonderful mother right off the bat, and she looked so at peace next to her litter.
Still, she needed to stay at the hospital some more to be monitored and get fluid therapy after her C-section.
A Brand-New Start

Penny’s puppies were growing up fast, keeping pace with their mom, who seemed so much better. In comparison to how she felt the day she was admitted, Penny Lane was a brand-new dog – and she was thriving!

Her three puppies, Sgt. Pepper, Prudence, and Ringo, stayed at the rescue a little longer, but eventually, they found their forever families, too. These three pawdorable furballs grew up into happy dogs who love everything about their new lives.
Once an abandoned, pregnant dog that was absolutely terrified of life on the street, Penny Lane and her babies are now living the best life!
Vets Shocked When They Finally Found Out Why This Stray Pup Wasn’t Able To Stand Up On His Back Paws
When a pup named Bruno was picked up from the streets by dedicated rescuers, they thought he was just a regular puppy trying to rest his tired paws.
However, after calling him over, they noticed that something was wrong.
Bruno wasn’t able to stand up on his back legs. Knowing that he needed immediate medical attention, the rescuers picked him up, brought him to their car, and swiftly took him to the vet in order to determine what was wrong.
Finally Safe

Since Bruno was found all alone on the streets, the rescuers didn’t really know what happened to him. Was his condition due to an injury or was he born this way?
While they waited for the vet to do his x-rays, the rescuers decided to spend some fun, quality time with him. This included a short playdate as well as a yummy meal to fill up his tummy and make him relax a bit.
As they were playing with him, they noticed Bruno desperately trying to stand up. This made them feel hopeful, knowing that he had the willpower to do so.

When he finished his scans, the vets were completely shocked with the results.
Bruno had no broken bones whatsoever! But why could he not walk then?
The vets suspected that his condition was either due to a stroke or congenital. Unfortunately, the vet’s office didn’t have all the necessary machines to determine the cause of his condition.
So, his rescuers decided to take him to the pet hospital.
It Gets Better

Bruno’s rescuers noticed that he was anemic and absolutely covered in fleas and ticks. So, before taking him to the hospital, they decided to give him a much-needed spa day.
After his bath, Bruno slept the night like a little baby.
In the morning, they took the sweet pup to the clinic where he underwent a thorough medical exam.
Finally, they were able to tell what was wrong.
It was determined that Bruno had the plague. However, it seems that he recovered from it all on his own. The vets don’t understand how that was even possible.
They suspected that his mom had suffered from the plague and that he was born with it, making it possible for him to fight it without any medications.

But, in the end, it didn’t really matter. The most important thing was that he was healthy now.
And since he was in good health, his rescuers didn’t see a reason why he couldn’t be adopted right away. After a thorough search, they found a little family that was the perfect fit for him.
Even though little Bruno will never be able to walk on all fours, that didn’t mean that he couldn’t lead a happy and fulfilling life. His new family absolutely adores him and is doing everything they can to make his days as good as they can get.
Bruno is thriving!
