💙🐾💜GIVING TUESDAY💜🐾💙
It’s that time of year again, Giving Tuesday. A day for our amazing supporters to donate and possibly get their donations matched! We always want to share something from the work we are doing so everyone knows just how important their contributions are and how truly life saving they are. On October 24th, while getting ready for transport, the healer puppies still with their owner started facing crisis, one of them broke with parvo, the pup started refusing to eat or drink. We couldn’t have any contact with them at their owners because all of us have dogs/puppies to transport. We gave the owner everything we had to fight it, iv fluid, anti nausea injections to reduce vomiting, pet tinic, nutrical, pro pectalin( for diarrhea) and wet food. By Saturday, it didn’t get better. I knew we didn’t have any funds to take her to the emergency vet. I reached out to everyone I know to see what else we could do. Dr Timmons responded but Sunday morning that sweet puppy died😢. Then the next one broke with Parvo. Dr Timmons on her day off, agreed to take 2 puppies in for 24 hour care. Then the other 2 broke with Parvo too.
She ended up taking all 4 in. It was very aggressive Parvo. She did everything at the vet office that could be done, but couldn’t stop them from vomiting and having diarrhea.
Then the little black puppy sadly lost the fight and died 😢. Next, one got better, so she released it from the office. The next 2 days the last 2 puppies were still fighting….
The third day she released another one, then on the fifth day the last puppy was released.
Dr Timmons worked very hard trying to save these puppies lives. Also this wouldn’t have happened if the owner had reached out to us sooner for them. She had them from the day they were born…but didn’t reach out to us until they were already 12 weeks old, the antibodies from mom were already worn off by that time leaving them at risk. That’s how Parvo attacked. We are so very sad we got there too late to save the other two sweet lives that deserved better.
I chose to pay the money for them out of my own pocket in order to save their lives! It is definitely not cheap to treat Parvo puppies 24/7 at the vet for days, even with the discount it’s still so very expensive. That’s why we couldn’t go to the emergency vet.
After releasing them back to the owners home, they have to be quarantined before we can take them . They got DAPP 2 weeks after being released from the vet, then another DAPP in 2 weeks, then 2 weeks later they can come to us. We have to wash them good before they can enter our home.
As a rescue, I couldn’t watch them die without trying to help. The rescue up north hasn’t committed to them at this time but we hope they get to go north for better lives. The money that I keep in savings for me and our household emergencies has gone to them but I am thankful that we were able to save 3.
Now on this Giving Tuesday fundraiser, I hope you are able to donate anything small or big to help us. We need an emergency fund that can help them, the next dog and the next ones after that. I can not do anymore out of my personal savings without jeopardizing our own stability, so please please help me help them, no amount is too small to help, $5,$10 or $500 it all adds up for our emergency fund to keep saving lives. The need is never ending and so neither is the need for help.
