Stressful Conditions
The research said that animals experience tons of trauma and stress when they are inside rescue shelters. For pregnant dogs, the risk is even higher. Shelters might have been built to help dogs, although the environment is not the best for them.

Storie must have been feeling as if her puppies were in danger if she’d give birth at the shelter. As is the case with traumatized dogs. Even though she was technically safe, she didn’t feel that way, and it was seriously affecting her and her puppies’ health.
