Unlikely to be the issue – standard procedure is to remove the uterus along with the ovaries, making pregnancy impossible. More likely the surgery was never done, and either the shelter told the vet the procedure was done when it wasn’t, or both vet and shelter just assumed she was spayed without being able to confirm it. Somebody definitely screwed up though!
Oh gosh, that is a surprise! I think sometimes the vet and/or shelter people only look for a spay scar, maybe that’s what happened here. She’s super cute though and so are the pups. I assume the shelter/vet will be spaying her and the pups in the future. 🙂
This is what I was thinking! She could have had a scar on her tummy and they just assumed she was spayed. Still, I must confess, I would not mind this surprise too much. 🙂

They are cute but I can’t even imagine the surprise.
Brenda Rapp Sabo

Vet/shelter shaming.
Madeleine
Definitely get some child support from the vet and shelter. She obviously wasn’t trying to be an irresponsible pup.

Even the (beautiful) Mommy looks surprised, like she was told this wasn’t possible and would like some answers if she wasn’t so (yawn) tired….
Brackie
