10 puppies born to rescued pregnant pit bull mix Ellie, donation to care requested.

Ellie, a pregnant pit bull mix rescued by the BC SPCA from a rat-infested home in Kelowna, has given birth to 10 puppies at the organization's Penticton Veterinary Hospital. The dogs were found in deplorable conditions, prompting their seizure. Ellie will be available for adoption after spay surgery, while her puppies can be adopted at eight weeks. Donations for their care can be made on the SPCA's website.
