Weekend update!

I am sure the pooches are very happy that we are with them all day, every day and so are we!

Miley, our pregnant German Sheppard is doing very well, no parvo in sight and she should be giving birth late next week to her beautiful 6 puppies.

Page our gorgeous Husky is also doing very well so we are thinking of bringing her to the vet's this week for her spay and shots.

Hunter and Rascal's first DHPP certainly saved their lives, luckily they were very young, probably 6 weeks old and this is the perfect time to give them their boosters against Parvo. They certainly would have died if we waited any longer as their playmate Twinkle didn't make it. Although we did giver her a DHPP at the same time as the pups last week, it was too late for her and she passed the next day! Rest in peace my love, you were so smart and god I wish you would have made it and found a loving home!!! It's really sad that such great dogs have to be in these situations...

Just in case you are all wondering why we are so stressed about Parvo with these dogs. At this particular pound or I should say "town", it's just known to carry parvo and we did loose 3 puppies before christmas from Parvo from there. That being said, we are not the only rescues to take doggies from that area and have a few fellow rescuers that recently lost 3 puppies from Parvo that were taken from the same place. So, it's fair to say that we now quaranteen each and every dog that we pick up from that area to ensure they don't have Parvo not to spread the disease here in Ottawa. So, 14 days of quaranteen while getting their DHPP which is supposed to prevent Parvo but if the doggy already has the disease - it won't help and they certainly won't make it. It is very sad but we just can't leave them there to be euthanized, out of 10 dogs rescued, only one will have Parvo so the others have a chance in finding good loving homes! It's that CHANCE that we have to take...
