Fighting for Their Lives

Tax deductible
Meet Shiitake.

She is one of five puppies (all named for mushrooms) who were transferred to Animal Friends from a West Virginia shelter that was simply out of resources … and the puppies were out of time.

Soon after arriving – one by one – these little pups began exhibiting symptoms of the lethal parvovirus (…despite receiving vaccinations against it!).

Our Medical and Animal Care teams jumped into action, working non-stop – 24/7 – trying to save these sweet souls. Because the virus was ravaging their little bodies, we then sent them along for high-level emergency care at the local specialty vet hospital.

We were not going to give up on them.

Tragically, despite all efforts, two of the puppies – Button and Cremini – simply couldn’t fight off the virus.

But the other three – Shitake, Portobello and Morel – are hanging in there, but still fighting.

And, we are fighting right along with them.

We have incurred bills in the amount of $34,986 for their specialty care and we aren’t done yet. 

Please, donate what you can and continue this lifesaving fight. They are certainly worth it.
