Help Save My Pup!!!
Donation protected
Less than three days ago, I adopted an 8 week old lab/spaniel mix puppy from a woman on Craigslist (first mistake) who assured me that the pup she sold to me was vaccinated AND dewormed. She told me they administered these shots at home but that they still worked just the same (second mistake). I trusted her and was provided “documentation” that turned out to be a scam. Not knowing this, I immediately fell in love with the pup, paid hundreds for her (which I thought was worth it for a “healthy” dog), and took her home. Over the last two days her health has declined greatly and, after taking her to the vet, I found out that she has parvo, hookworms, and roundworms. Parvo is a contagious, serious virus that kills dogs without proper and aggressive treatment, and in some cases dogs still do not survive it. She has been transferred to an emergency clinic where she is being treated as a critical case with 24/7 care in an isolated hospital room for 3-5 days as well as aggressive antibiotics, and continuous testing. This still does not guarantee her survival, and it is absolutely heartbreaking to wait and hope for the best. To add to this stressful time, the fees to treat and possibly save this pup are extremely high, currently about $4,000. Not only has she been the sweetest, smartest little girl since I got her, but I also had plans to register her as an emotional support animal for my anxiety, so we have decided that we have to try to give her a fighting chance. However, the cost was completely unexpected and much more than anyone could have planned for, so I am hoping that my family, friends, or kind strangers will be willing to donate ANY amount to help me pay for her treatment. Thank you so much for any prayer, donation, or well wishes. I am eternally grateful ❤️
