I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see so many people offer to help. As of right now, I still don't have an answer as to whether they have found someone to take the pup or not, but regardless of whether we take him or not, at least the pup is somewhere other than the pound. Parvo is always such a factor in dog pounds/shelters that do not vaccinate at intake. I once had a pup I fostered from the city shelter here that died of parvo and given the gestation period, he had to have gotten it at the shelter since he had been there 3 weeks prior. It just about broke my heart.

There is a terrific vet in the area that will take in the dogs, get them all fixed up at a reduced cost and allow us to pay over the phone with either a credit card or send it via paypal - so our first priority is always the vet check.

Again, thank you so much - I really appreciate all the offers and I will keep you all informed.
