Sweet Pea started her life out in the wrong hands, in a miserable home where she was abused and used, over and over again. And now, she is suffering for a multitude of reasons, and her body paints a graphic picture of an even more gruesome past. This little Miss has given birth to quite a few litters, although she’s never actually gotten to BE a mama to any of them. Instead, the puppies were put up for sale—ALL sold for a profit. And somehow, this poor girl has also lost her ability to use her back legs.
Then, when Sweet Pea had delivered litter-upon-litter, her human(s) decided they were "done with her." That Sweet Pea had served her purpose; that she was done being a part of their family. They dropped her off on the side of the road – knowing that her chances of survival were slim. But make no mistake: This little lady is a WARRIOR, through and through. She's fought hard to live; and to her credit, it's something she's done well – seeing as up until her rescue, she was battling every other street dog in the area to do so. So for us, the question wasn't IF we could help, but HOW we could help.
Today, Sweet Pea is safe and has an army of people lining up to fight alongside her. She needs a LOT of help—starting with getting some pounds on that skeleton frame! Beyond this, though, she's got a lot of diagnostic testing and bloodwork in her near future to help doctors figure out all the unknowns. But while the exact causes of Sweet Pea's trauma remain unknown, trying to give her the best quality of life, on the other hand, is a no-brainer.

This beautiful girl is just one out of many who have – for one reason or another – ended up on these streets, fighting to survive. And what makes Sweet Pea's story even more heartbreaking is the disturbing actions of the humans around her. She's broken, body and soul, while her “humans” did nothing except take advantage of her.
