North carolina pups are here! UPDATE POST #31
After a horrilble drive in bad, snowy, icy weather we made it home with a big bundle of furry faces!! I am only going to post pictures and a quick update, as I am only on 2 hours of sleep since I woke up Tuesday morning!!
Marley - 4 month old Shep/Lab (retriever?) mix. She is too sweet and LOVES everybody and everything!!

This boy does not have a name yet. He is a shep. mix, about 3 months old. He is a little shy, but is very sweet.

This pretty girl is Delilah. She is about 10 wks. Delilah is a Boxer/Pittie mix (we think). She is one of the loud ones in the bunch and HATES to be alone!

These three babies are only about 6-8 wks and should still be with their mama. They are very sad as well as weak. We are doing our best to help them thrive. They have only eaten a bit since we brought them home yesterday (Tuesday). I am praying they will be okay. So, for now, it is the force feed method! They need names!!!

This is the pregnant kitten we pulled as well. She is only about 9 months old and she is 23-25 days pregnant. Poor baby....she needs a name....any suggestions?

This guy is my FAVORITE! The vet says he is more than likely a Shepherd/Mastiff mix. This boy was said to have heartworms. We all know that he stood no chance in that place and he was to be gassed at anytime. He was pulled from the kennels in the shelter to be used to "teach" student vets how to do various procedures to dogs. Basically, he was a guinea pig. He was neutered, vaccinated (so they say), and tested for heartworms. Now, he is only a little over 4 months my vet said. So it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to test positive as heartworms do not show up until dogs are at LEAST 6 months or older....so we tested him again anyway and he was NEGATIVE! He will be retested in March. Until then he will remain with me at my house. Dave and I have named him "Chance". Since he would not have had a chance without Leah and Jessica...and us.

And this cutie patootie is about 8-10 wks old. He is a Weimaraner/Border Collie mix. His fur is SO gray...I have NEVER seen a dog like him before! He is a bit of a trouble maker, but we will change that! He also does not have a name yet.

I will post more tomorrow (well later today) after I get some sleep. I hope you enjoyed them. Fingers and paws crossed for wee ones that don't feel very good right now!
Parvo is taking over and We are losing them one at a time.....
Just as the title says. Parvo is taking over. I am not in the mental state to post a full thread in detail, but you can veiw it at our ChipIn page (link below). I am sorry, but I am emotionally drained.
We are currently giving the pups sub-cutaneous fluids and Penicilin (to prevent pnemonia). We have also made an herbal remedy called Parvaid. THey sell a better version of it online, but we can not afford that at this time.
Please pray for these puppies, Delilah, Maddie, and Gracin. They deserve a second chance...they are only babies, 10-12 wks old. Please spread the word, we really need financial help with this. I don't want anybody thinking I am begging once again for money...this was so sudden. I found out the pound has had Parvo pups for a long time and is INFESTED with Parvo and FELV...and they are doing NOTHING about it. Yet, they let people think the animals are healthy so they pull them. Like I said, I will update more when my mind is more clear...I am just a wreck right now. I am sorry.
Here is our ChipIn page link: http://reachoutrescue.chipin.com/vet-care-for-ror-pups. I will post a full thread update tomorrow and explain everything bit by bit, I just can't do it now. I am sorry.
Please help us, if you can not donate, please spread the word to anybody that can. Thank you.
