Jen Costa, a cancer patient, recently found her missing dog five years after it ran away from home. However, the dog, Azzurra Diamante, was pregnant. And now, Jen found herself with a new pup on her hands.
Azzurra, a bulldog mix, was found at Henderson Animal Control by her owner, Jen Costa. A microchip implanted on Azzurra helped identify who her owner is. However, just days after reuniting with the owner, Azzurra gave birth to a single puppy.
Shelter workers hadn’t realized the dog was pregnant, so neither did Costa. She’s now looking for a way to keep both pets. Florida resident Jen Costa’s living arrangements prevent her from bringing her animals to where she’s currently staying.
This made her decide to create a GoFundMe account to raise money for a place of her own and for the needs of her pets. Having a pet give birth to a pup is one of the happiest moments for pet owners. It’s an extremely exciting experience, and it’s also a great responsibility.
A pet owner needs to be ready and prepared for this task, which will help them enjoy the time with their new puppies. Pets are our best friends, and they depend on us for everything. A puppy, on the other hand is born helpless, deaf, blind, and unable to stand.
Mother dogs take care of them by providing warmth, food, protection, and cleaning them. They get their first teeth at around three weeks of age and start eating solid food at four weeks of age. Weaning usually occurs around six weeks of age when the mother dog starts to lose her patience with the puppies’ demands for milk, though some mothers continue to nurse their pups until they are nine weeks old or more.
Puppies have a natural charm that makes most people go crazy about them. They have that aspect of cuteness that makes most people like them.
