Right now, Momma Zaria and her baby girl, Zola, are in the worst condition – but just this morning, Zane and Zander started to show symptoms and have since stopped eating. And what's more, on top of fighting Parvovirus, Baby Zola is also dealing with additional health issues, such as swelling in her lymph nodes and face, and crusty and goopy discharge from her eyes and nose. It could indicate a less severe Upper Respiratory Infection, but it may also be telling of something more serious (like puppy strangles or possibly Distempervirus).
Please, continue to pray for Zaria, Zane, Zander, and Zola, and donate if you can. We are doing everything we can for Zaria and her pups, but we can't do it without your support. Every donation - $5 or $50 - helps to provide the care this family desperately needs, not just to BEAT Parvovirus, but to THRIVE.
Thank you so much, all. Together, we can give this young family a fighting chance at life.

URGENT: An emergency call came in regarding this 8-month-old pup; a brand-new mama, who recently gave birth to three fragile puppies. ALL four of whom are now fading fast; fighting for their lives.
Needless to say, we knew we had to MOVE. They were fading fast; all lethargic, vomiting, and experiencing violent coughing fits. And once we got to VECC, we knew why. Every single member of this family tested POSITIVE for Parvovirus.
VECC is quoting a staggering $20,000 for the ongoing critical supportive care Zaria and her three puppies, Zane, Zander, and Zola need to beat this. Since there is no known cure for Parvovirus, this family's only option is aggressive, intensive supportive care to keep their vitals up and conditions as stable as possible – including IV fluids and a plethora of pain medications. But because Parvovirus progresses rapidly, we must be prepared for whatever comes next.
