If your dog is pregnant and you don't want the puppies, consider contacting a veterinarian or a local animal shelter for options. Spaying (abortion) may be an option before puppies are born. Alternatively, animal rescue organizations can help find foster homes or permanent placements for the puppies once they are born. Always prioritize the health and well-being of your dog throughout this process.
