Support Canine Collective's Fight Against Parvo

Hello!

I am Kayla McDonald, and I am the Kennel Manager of the Canine Collective, a no-kill, all-breed dog rescue in Plain City, Ohio. As I'm sure many of you are aware, we take in dogs from all over the place that are in dire need of help. A large portion of the dogs we take in are from high-kill shelters in surrounding areas. Kentucky is a state that we help out quite frequently, as they do not have the resources as readily available to them, and the stray population is outrageous. As we all know, taking in puppies is always a risk no matter how you look at it. They usually come from bad situations where they're not being well cared for and are at risk for many diseases and parasites. Parvovirus is one of the worst, in my opinion. There is not a cure for parvovirus; you can only treat the symptoms and hope that your puppy is strong enough to push through. It is also highly, highly contagious! Unfortunately, we have been hit with another case of parvovirus with a litter of puppies we just brought in today. We had a previous case about 2 weeks ago. We got extremely lucky; there was a litter of 10 puppies altogether. Canine Collective received four, and somehow, some way, none of the other pups came down with parvo except for one! Today, we received a litter of nine puppies, and within a few hours of having them, the foster already needed to take one to the emergency vet, and within moments, it tested positive for parvo! This puppy is at Veterinary Emergency Group being hospitalized, and we're going to keep a close eye on the other eight. Realistically, we know the chances of another coming down with it are very high. They do, however, have a newer treatment for parvo, an injection you can try with a very high survival rate. However, the injection is also very costly. We are trying to be proactive and raise money to prepare for treating the rest of these puppies. If you are at all able to help us, every little bit counts! We are in dire need of funds to help these puppies out and hope for their survival! If you're not able to donate at this time, we completely understand. Please share our campaign and help us get the word out! Parvo treatment, depending on where you go, ranges somewhere in the thousands. Most puppies need to be hospitalized for at least 72 hours in most cases. Thank you so much for your continued support!
