The Devore Four Have Names!

Here are the two boys: Bean and Oreo. The two girls are Candy and Mandy. So far, so good.

But we're still in dire need of fosters for Bean and Oreo! We're racking up vet bills at $43/day and the puppies have to be quarantineed until August. 1.

PLEASE HELP THESE FOUR PUPPIES!

PLEASE NETWORK!!

Meet our latest babies. Aren't they adorable? The little ones are only two months old. The larger pup is three months old.

There are two girls and two boys. The two girls have been named Mandy and Candy. Please leave comments to help us name the two little boys.

These four sweet little puppies were pulled on Saturday from the high-kill Devore shelter. All were slated for euthanasia and were very lucky to escape with their lives. But during transport down to us, they were exposed to a sick puppy that someone else was rescuing that was later diagnosed with PARVO and SCABIES.

Sadly, the sick puppy died today.

Our four puppies seem healthy ... yes, they had fleas, ticks and worms--and three of them tested positive for coccidia. But they had baths, were de-wormed and are being treated for coccidia. Otherwise, they seem to be in good health.


But now they can't go to their pre-arranged foster homes for 14 days nor can we re-home them! They need to stay in quarantine to ensure that they aren't sick. My vet couldn't board them for us, so yesterday I was scrambling to get those puppies moved immediately.

Two of the puppies were placed in a temporary foster home yesterday, but she can only keep them for a few days. The other two are being boarded at another vet at $43/day, but we're out of funds and we can't afford it.

PLEASE DONATE for their care!
So far the tab for the Devore Four is at $600 and climbing. We do not have the funds for continued boarding and subsequent vet bills.

PLEASE FOSTER!

These little ones are small--you can put them in a bathroom or even a laundry room. The smallest puppy weighs 4.8 lbs. The largest puppy weighs 18 lbs. They just need love and attention and also to be watched for any signs of illness. I feel pretty confident that they won't get sick (keeping all paws crossed), but they can't be intermingled with other dogs right now. Cat rescuers can take them in, however. (The vet did a parvo test on the two being boarded at his hospital and it was negative. But parvo takes 3 to 14 days to incubate, so it's too early to tell at this point if anything will develop. The vet was very nice and did not charge us for the parvo tests.)

Please contact us right away if you're able to help us help the Devore Four during this critical time.
