这只比特犬自己拍了孕照，看起来容光焕发

In early September, Mama Pickles – a cute pit bull – was found wandering alone on the streets. The rescuers instantly saw that she needed help, given that the 2-year-old dog was very pregnant. The animal control officers took her off the streets and tried finding out where Pickles had come from – they got in touch with her owners, but unfortunately, they had decided that Pickles was not needed anymore and left her to be at the shelter.

九月初，人们发现皮克尔斯妈妈——一只可爱的比特犬——独自在街上游荡。救援人员立即发现她需要帮助，因为这只2岁的狗已经怀孕了。动物管理人员把她带离街道，并试图找出皮克尔斯来自哪里——他们联系了她的主人，但不幸的是，他们决定不再需要皮克尔斯了，把她留在了收容所。

The poor pit bull was so pregnant that she needed more help than the shelter could offer her, but fortunately, she was soon found by Pits & Giggles Rescue – a non-profit organization specializing in caring for pregnant and nursing dogs as well as their puppies. While Mama Pickles’ belly was so huge that it made it hard for her to move around, she couldn’t help herself but jump all over the place while meeting her new rescue friends.

这只可怜的比特犬怀孕了，它需要比收容所更多的帮助，但幸运的是，它很快就被救护中心找到了。皮克尔斯妈妈的肚子太大了，让她很难移动，但在与新救援朋友见面时，她忍不住跳来跳去。

In a few months, Mama Pickles along with her eight puppies will be ready to be put up for adoption in order to find them their forever homes. Up until then, they’ll be living at the rescue shelter. Lauren has been volunteering for Pits & Giggles for nearly two years now. “It hasn’t been only photoshoots, but fostering too, and we just adopted from them! Three years ago, my husband Brad and I adopted our first rescue dog. Her name was Remington Rose! We turned that sweet girl’s life around for the better and it really opened up our hearts to help other dogs too,” she shared with Bored Panda.

再过几个月，皮克尔斯妈妈和她的八只小狗就可以被人领养了，它们将拥有永远的家。在那之前，他们将住在救援避难所。劳伦已经做了近两年的坑笑志愿者。“这不仅仅是拍照，而且是领养，我们就是从他们那里领养的!”三年前，我和我的丈夫布拉德收养了我们的第一只搜救犬。她的名字是雷明顿·罗斯!我们让那个可爱的小女孩的生活变得更好，这真的打开了我们的心，也帮助了其他的狗，”她和Bored Panda分享道。
