Recently, Animal Assistance League of Orange County received an urgent call from Orange County Animal Care: eight puppies, all approximately 12 weeks old, h sentenchad tested positive for parvovirus. Two tiny puppies had already lost the fight and died.
These babies had been abandoned at a veterinary hospital and then transferred to the shelter. Frightened, sick, and without a family to advocate for them, their future looked grim. In years past, a positive parvo diagnosis often meant little hope. But today, thanks to a groundbreaking treatment, parvo is no longer the deate it once was.
Recently ten puppies suffering from parvovirus were brought to a veterinary hospital in Orange County. Tragically, one puppy had already passed away. Instead of receiving continued care, the remaining nine sick puppies were abandoned in the bushes outside the clinic. A passerby discovered them and immediately brought them back inside.
The veterinary staff contacted Orange County Animal Care, which took the puppies into its care. In turn, Orange County Animal Care contacted AALOC and within 20 minutes of being notified, AALOC President Colleen coordinated a rescue. A generous donor stepped forward and made a sizable donation, enough to treat all nine puppies, and within an hour, the puppies received life-saving monoclonal antibody treatment. The following morning, they were transferred to long-term medical care, where they remained in isolation while recovering.
Sadly, one more puppy was lost. Day by day, the remaining little survivors gained strength and demonstrated their incredible will to live. Thanks to the quick actions of everyone involved, the remaining eight puppies survived. One has since found a loving home, and seven are still waiting for families of their own.
If you are interested in adopting one of these sweet survivors please click the link below and complete an adoption application. They have already beaten the odds. With your help, they can have the future they were almost denied.
And if you are unable to adopt, please consider making a donation today. Every dollar helps provide the medical care, shelter, and support these puppies need to reach the loving homes they deserve and allows us to help other animals in need.
