My Taggart survived Parvo, so I am hoping little Gracin can pull through too.

Play hard at the bridge little puppies.

I found out this info on Thursday, two days after I received the pups. The pound knows. They have flunked their inspection 3 times by the county, but Reggie, the guy in charge has it good in with the man from the Dept. of Agri. in NC. There are many people out there trying to shut them down, and there is a meeting on January 8th and 9th with the Dept. of Agri. and county officials. I am faxing a letter, in hopes it does some good. They also have FELV going around and a lot of cats and kittens are dying.

They have a vet tech program at the pound. They take dogs/cats that are waiting to be gassed and use them to "teach" vet students how to neuter/spay, vaccinate, draw blood, and run tests. They have tested several dogs for Parvo and know they are positive for it, but still put them back into general population. They do spray cleaner, but not the proper cleaners, and they do not scrub anything down.

One of the dogs we have was suppose to have Heartworms, they supposedly tested him. Well, he is only 4 months. My vet said hearworms won't show up till at least 6 months, but she tested him again for me anyway and he was negative. We have to keep him with us until he is 6 months and we can test him again. He was kept seperate from all the other dogs because he seemed very sick, they thought it was because the HW. When we got him and took him to the vet, she said that he had a real bad URI, so we put him on Clavamox and he is kept away from all the other animals to be sure he does not get Parvo. He is so sweet and so much better. We are praying that he is okay too. I have had them since the 16th, late night, if they all make it with no signs till January 1st, that will be 15 days. Our vet said if they make it till then, then we have no worries about Parvo. Just keep praying please.

Thank you.

Sassy has some experience up there to sweet ones. Dogs die at the hands of irresponsible people everyday, I can't believe the pound lied about these sweeties. Gracin babe please pull through!! PLEASE!! Praying hard for him. ROR, I swear you post so much about dogs you rescue passing on I don't know how you handle it. You're such a strong wonderful person to rescue these dogs and do all you can to help them. You truely are an angel to all animals.

I'm praying for Gracin. I had a soft spot for him since you introduced us to him. Come on LITTLE GUY You can fight!!

I'm so sorry all these sweet puppies have passed away. It's so unfair. Thank you for trying to save them and prayers going out for beautiful Grayson that he will survive!!

Not really strong, just determined to save them from a horrible death. It is sad that I can not always do that. All I can do is love them while they are here and pray real hard. At least we have 7 healthy pups, an adult Lab, and a pregnant cat that we saved from that wretched (spelling?) place. I know they will not die an unnecessary, traumatic death by the hands of a heartless person.

Thank you all for you kind words. Gracin is showing signs of being okay...so far. He is eating, drinking, and pooping solid. Prayers still need to be made though, just to be on the safe side. Thank you everybody.

This is just so horrible Tracy. I can't imagin the heartbreak you're going through loosing so many so fast. You and the remaining pups are still in my prayers. Hang in there girlie!
