Rescued Dog Gives Birth to Record-Breaking Litter of Puppies
The rescue centre said Kila’s brood is its largest ever, and 11 surviving puppies will be ready for new homes from Sept. 28.
On August 3, five-year-old Cane Corso Kila gave birth to 14 puppies at the Chesterfield RSPCA Rescue, the largest litter ever recorded at the centre.
Volunteers rescued Kila from a property in Doncaster in July due to welfare concerns, unaware she was pregnant until a scheduled neutering appointment six days before birth.
The branch now cares for 21 puppies total after Susie, another rescued dog, gave birth to 10 pups on July 28, arriving just days before Kila's litter.
Although three of Kila's puppies did not survive, the surviving pups including Cedric, Clark, and Winnie will be ready for adoption beginning September 28.
Branch worker Chloe Gee said the team is "so proud to have beautiful, wiggly puppies," but the rescue is seeking donations of food and funds to support care.
