Texas shelter dog who was 'so pregnant she couldn't even walk' gives birth to double-digit litter

A Texas rescue dog whose dire pregnancy rendered her immobile ended up giving birth to nearly a dozen healthy and happy puppies.

The dog, who has been named Meter Maid, was brought to Austin Pets Alive (APA) on Feb. 11 after spending three days in a municipal shelter.

The shelter staff noticed Meter Maid’s advanced pregnancy and called on the APA to assist, Luis Sanchez, APA’s spokesperson, told Fox News Digital.

APA had shared a TikTok post revealing that Meter Maid was “so pregnant that she couldn’t even walk outside.”

Footage shows the mama dog being wheeled around and carried by staff members, who waited anxiously for her to give birth. 

“Turns out it’s because she was pregnant with ELEVEN PUPPIES!” APA shared on TikTok. “Good job, mama.”

APA employees even had a “Days without Puppies” tally to keep track of how long Meter Maid was pregnant.

Meter Maid ended up giving birth on her sixteenth day at APA – and she had an eye-popping amount of babies.

Sanchez told Fox News Digital that all 11 pups were born healthy.

“Meter Maid was found to be heartworm positive but will get her treatment with Austin Pets Alive and her foster/adopter,” Sanchez explained.

Sanchez told Fox News Digital that Meter Maid giving birth to this amount of puppies isn’t too rare for a large-sized dog. 

“For larger dogs it is not uncommon for them to have litters in double digits,” he said.

Sanchez said that the entire family will go up for adoption in April.

“The family will be ready for adoption in a few weeks when the puppies are weaned,” Sanchez said. “For now, the litter will stay together as she cares [for] and nurses them.”

Left-wing activist says it's 'so weird' that Passover only about Jews, not others' 'subjugation'

A progressive activist drew attention on social media after she argued the suffering of Jews isn’t “exceptional” as she explained her support for Palestinians in light of the Israel-Hamas war.

There have been “so many similar genocides,” Nicole Carty told The New York Times Magazine last week. She said at another point that it’s “so weird” that the Jewish holiday of Passover is solely about “Jewish subjugation.” 

An activist who leads a group pushing for reparations for Black Americans, Carty was leery of the growing movement to unite Jewish and Black progressives in protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas attack. 

“The question for White Jews is to what degree the assimilation into whiteness means that you do not disrupt White supremacy and oppression for all of us?” Carty told NYT Magazine. 

RACIST CLAIMS OF ‘WHITE ISRAEL’ STOKE HATRED, ENDANGER JEWS AND DENY MULTIRACIAL REALITY, SAY EXPERTS

Black Americans see their own history of oppression being played out in the Middle East with Palestinians in Gaza, according to Carty, who has also worked with the, far-left, anti-Israel Jewish group IfNotNow.

“The Palestinian experience activates Black trauma,” she said. While the activist has allied with Jewish groups in the past on racial justice causes, she worries about White Jews’ level of commitment to the Palestinian cause.

Carty said pro-Palestinian Jewish allies like IfNotNow rubbed her the wrong way by organizing vigils for victims in the days following the October 7 Hamas attacks.

“My Jewish friends wanted to mourn,” Carty said. “That felt right to them. But that didn’t feel right to me. I didn’t go to that action. It didn’t meet the moment. I tried to be compassionate, but we lost time in really speaking out in a politically targeted way against the slaughter of Palestinians that we could all see happening.”

The Jewish group prayed for both Israelis and Palestinians killed, but Carty claimed the incident was part of the Jewish tendency for “trauma myopia.”

She urged Jews to recognize that their “history and relation to trauma and dehumanization has been exceptionalized [sic].”

“I’ve been to a lot of Passover celebrations,” she added, “and it’s so weird that the story is only of Jewish subjugation, even though subjugation is still so present for other people.” 

“Black people still haven’t had their histories honored. We are still gaslit about the impact of slavery and the continued impacts of White supremacy,” Carty argued.

The activist was hopeful for a “multiracial democracy” where “all people have equal rights and all religions are respected” in the Middle East and compared the conflict to fights over slavery and Civil Rights in the United States

Carty’s remarks on Passover and other topics raised eyebrows on X.

Some critics have pushed back on progressive narratives portraying Israel as a White oppressor in the Middle East as “wildly inaccurate.”

“The reality is that in Israel you will see Jews who look Black, brown, Asian, African and everything in between,” Dan Feferman, a former national security adviser to the Israel Defense Ministry, told Fox News Digital.

“The mischaracterization is wildly inaccurate and unfortunately drives animosity in the Middle East and around the world against Israel,” he added.

Carty did not respond to requests for comment by Fox News Digital.
