This is Lola,  she lived with her family until her family decided to move and left Lola behind tied up on a 3 foot leash to a pole., possibly already sick with parvo. The leash had been wrapped around the pole so tightly that Lola only has less than 6 inches to each either way. Her position didn’t even allow her to reach her empty food and water bowls. She has sores and scars from sores she obtained from laying on hard concrete day in- day out. She was living in her own feces, short rope didn’t provide her with options for sleeping, defecating, pee’ing, and living.

 Lola was rescued from that abandoned house, she was likely sick when I took her home but was eating and drinking so I assumed her lethargy was due to being neglected. She hasn’t eaten in over 48 hours and has been diagnosed with parvo. My options were to deny her care, leave her at the vet and they would do what had to be done, or hospitalize her in doggy ER. Since it’s the weekend, I’m in it for at least 3 days then they intend to give me a update on how long a full recovery will take or if it’s possible. The prognosis is good since she isn’t violently ill yet but they cannot guarantee her recovery. I just couldn’t deny her care so anyone who can donate, I’m sure you’ll have good doggy juju on your life. If you can’t, please just say a prayer as nd send her good doggy juju. 

 My little boy pictured above has not shown any signs yet but hasn’t gotten his vaccinations since the pandemic, thus he is not protected. Since they became such good friends, I am extremely worried— I cannot lose him. He has sniffed her poop l, they licked each other’s mouths, and have shared food. Plus, Petey kisses her face and mouth incessantly. I am taking him in for a shot but the vet said that he won’t be protected against contraction for 7 days. So Ijust have to wait and see for the next 5 days and if any shows any signs, take him to the doggy ER immediately. 

I am in for some financial strain at a time we are all seeing the effects of Covid, I would appreciate any help  you may be able to give and any prayers you can spare. 

my emotional state is pretty ripped to shreds right now so just caring enough to read and learn about what is ruining my life right now makes me feel a bit less alone and carrying this huge burden alone. 

we all thank you so much!
