Maylee the Rescue Pup

It’s $5 Friday! Mom sees things that make her mad. She sees things that make her sad. Recently she got a video & message from Marion Cty about 4 puppies that made her cry. “Is there any possible way you can help 4 pups with parvo?” Mom’s mind immediately says “No. No, there is no possible way.” She shouldn’t have watched the video. But she did. Horribly neglected, underweight. Demodex, infected ears & skin. Yet they wiggle. They try to be brave. They try to trust. Tentative tail wags. One tries out a smile. They were found alone behind a home of known backyard breeders affiliated with a dog fighting bust. The video was taken before they showed sick. Now they weren’t eating. They tested positive for parvo. They couldn’t stay at the shelter being a risk to others. Additional care wasn’t an option in a county shelter. Staff had spent the entire day reaching out to rescues. They had no more time and no other options. We know there’s now an antibody shot that helps. It’s costly, especially for 4. The low combined estimate with parvo plus skin & ear treatments is $5000 in total vet care if they all survive. Really, how can we say yes to sick parvo pups? Really, but how can we let these 4 lives end before they ever know what care and kindness mean? What love is… Mom watched the video again. We just cannot. Not TaDay. Life just needs some goodness right now. So, these 4 little souls will now know they matter. Because truly they do. If you’d like to help, Vinny, Viggo, Vera & Vicky, we appreciate it more than we can convey. ♥️ rescuecoop.org/donate
