A woman invested $20,000 to build a charity she runs from her home - and has now saved more than 200 puppies.
Kathryn Mongrain, 29, an emergency vet technician, started her charity The Bottle Brigade because she wanted to save newborn puppies from euthanasia.
She bought IV pumps, four incubators, built oxygen chambers and set up a newborn "puppy hospital" in her dining room.
Kathryn, who lives in Katy, Texas, USA, said: "I wanted to create something to help them. I wanted to help care for them until they can be adopted.
"I set up a nursery in my house. I put all the incubators in my dining room.
"That way I didn't have to pay for all the care myself. I can do this because I have a veterinary license."
Kathryn takes in puppies that would have been euthanised because of either genetic abnormalities, premature birth or health issues.
