She Took Them In After They Lost Their Mom!

A little more than a month ago, a possum Mom is attacked and killed in Brazil. Her babies now motherless, were completely helpless.

Note: photos below may take a few seconds to load.

If not for Stephanie Maldonado they would not have lasted long, she took them home intending to leave them with a wildlife shelter.

However, the shelter had no space available so Stephanie decided she would take care of them herself.

This undertaking required around-the-clock care with bottle feeding every two hours. She still felt there was something missing though, that’s when her dog stepped into the breach to help.

These opossums needed a furry maternal touch, and this sweet canine enjoyed fulfilling the role. As they nestled against her she licked them and snuggled up with them.

She even let them climb on top of her and cling to her back and belly, much like they would do to their birth mother.

Pretinha has gotten so comfortable with them, that she lets them ride on her when they go for a walk too!

Aren’t they an adorable family?

Now a few weeks on, the baby opossums are growing up healthy thanks to Stephanie and Pretinha’s care and love.

Stephanie hopes when they are big and strong enough they can be successfully returned to the wild.
