Furever Home Dog Rescue (FHDR) has been rescuing puppies and dogs from a high kill shelter in North Carolina for over seven years. They have safely found furever homes for over 800 pups. They are not a shelter, they foster the pups in private homes until suitable, loving homes are found.
Last week FHDR rescued Summer and Winter, two sweet 9-10 week old lab mix puppies. Despite every precaution the shelter and FHDR followed, these puppies somehow contracted Parvo. Parvo is a serious and potentially deadly disease with only a 50% chance of survival. In all the years FHDR has been rescuing pups they never had a pup contract parvo.
FHDR placed Summer & Winter in a critical care hospital in Lebanon and the medical costs of treating them are significant and mounting every day. FHDR receives no outside financial help as they are a small, private rescue group. Some felt that they should have just let these babies go, but they just couldn’t do that. They’ve been failed once by humans so they had to give them every chance possible. Currently, Summer is showing improvement and her chance of survival is good. Winter, sadly, is still fighting for her life. The vets are still hopefully that she will come through. She is such a little fighter. The costs are astronomical and FHDR just don’t have the funding to cover their care. The next few days are critical.
In the past seven years FHDR has never asked anyone to help with the added expenses. They are in desperate need of funds to continue Summer and Winter’s treatment.
Please if you can contribute any amount towards helping Summer and Winter it would be so gratefully appreciated. Please do what you can and share Summer and Winter’s story with your family and friends that may want to help. The group understands if you are not in a finanical situation to help, but they appreciate you reading this story and, of course, please send good thoughts and prayers to Summer and Winter.
