Heidi is a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to Animal Friends of Connecticut ready to deliver several puppies in April of 2011. Her owner had realized that the deliveries were going to be medically difficult and was unable to pay the medical bills, so she surrendered Heidi to a shelter, which gave her to us.The veterinarian who examined Heidi decided that a caesarean was necessary. She had four puppies, but three had died before the operation. The fourth was born alive but only lived a short time. This photo was taken shortly after the operation, and the bandage on her leg has now been removed.Heidi has recovered and has her forever home.

Romeo and Juliet are 8-week-old puppies who had a rough start in life. They were rescued after being thrown out a car window at a Route 84 rest stop. A woman trucker parked at the stop saw the abandonment and came to their aid. The trucker is a cross-country driver who travels with her two dogs and three cats in the truck at all times, so she is definitely an animal lover.The driver contacted Animal Friends of Connecticut to come and take the puppies. This was in July 2011. They are now adopted.
