Darling Pup Won’t Part With Pacifier And Carries It Everywhere He Goes

Kathryn’s Tireless Effort to Save Five Bottle Babies

Kathryn, an ER vet technician with a heart of gold, leads The Bottle Brigade—a foster program dedicated to saving fragile puppies who require round-the-clock care. When she saw a plea for five newborn pups desperately needing help, she didn’t hesitate to step in.

These tiny babies needed feeding every two hours, an exhausting task for any single foster. But Kathryn, drawing on her experience, devised a clever system. Using blankets, she created a setup that allowed her to bottle-feed all of the puppies at once, ensuring none were left waiting or struggling. It was the kind of resourceful thinking that sets her apart as a rescuer.

As the puppies grew, Kathryn began the delicate process of weaning them off their bottles. Switching them to syringe feeding proved challenging, as the babies still longed to suckle for comfort. To meet that need, Kathryn introduced pacifiers—something they instantly adored, sometimes a little too much! Her thoughtful approach ensured their emotional as well as physical needs were being met.

With Kathryn’s expert care, the puppies grew stronger and more independent. Eventually, it was time for them to move on to foster homes, where they could continue their journey toward adoption. For Kathryn, letting go is always bittersweet. She pours her heart into each fragile life she saves, but she knows the goodbye is really the first step toward forever families and happy endings.

Kathryn’s dedication highlights the extraordinary work rescuers do every day—quiet acts of compassion that change lives in immeasurable ways. These five puppies now have a future because someone refused to give up on them.
