Virginia is a beautiful, mature and mellow young girl!  Late into her pregnancy, Virginia wandered into an underground parking garage of a building.  Soon after her babies were born, the residence in that building notified animal control to take them away.  When this news was overheard by a few volunteers, they managed to hide the mother and her newborns in the building; and posted their story on line asking for help the same time.

On the day before the rescuer responded to their pleading, Virginia was injured by a car in the garage.  Thanks to the relentless efforts of the rescue team, the whole stray family was moved to a safe place in time.

Now the puppies were all adopted to overseas families, and Virginia’s wounded leg is fully recovered.  Virginia turned out to be a lively and playful girl.  She’s a little hold back when strangers are around, but it does not take her long to warm up to them.
