Pregnancy can be one of the most incredible journeys in life, filled with anticipation, excitement, and moments of joy. However, it doesn’t come without its challenges, especially the uncertainty and anxiety that often accompany it. These emotions aren’t exclusive to humans—animals can feel them too. And for one special golden retriever, the road to motherhood came with a few twists and turns, but thankfully, she found herself in the right hands just in time. Rosie, a sweet golden retriever mix, had been wandering the streets before she was rescued and brought to the Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue in North Carolina. By the time she arrived, Rosie was clearly pregnant, her belly round and full, and the volunteers knew she needed immediate care. They were relieved and overjoyed that this gentle dog had been saved before giving birth, ensuring she’d receive the support she needed.
