ONLY 7 MOS OLD ~ BECOMING ILL @ SHELTER!  QUICK RESCUE IS HIS ONLY HOPE!    no room ! 

From Steve: Almost made me cry, seeing this dog who was so scared of trusting people show so much promise.

"Very cruel twist of fate for this dog today.

BARC is out of room, and there was nowhere to put this dog this afternoon when he tested positive for Parvo. I begged to keep him in Baydock, which is where he is for the night, but he goes down in the morning unless someone puts a hold.

This is a dog who the kennel tech was working for days with, and today, he showed the best promise.
Couldn’t believe it was the same dog. Before, you couldn’t put a leash on him, he’d go ballistic.

Today, Sophia had the leash on him, and he walked outside beautifully. He slowed down right as he crossed the threshold. We all sat around and gave him encouragement.

Catlin sat next to him, started petting him, and it was like a light went off.  He was basically crawling into her lap, begging for more affection.

Almost made me cry, seeing this dog who was so scared of trusting people show so much promise."


"We put him in the run, and he was a new pup.

Prancing, wanting to jump up and hug the girls.

He went in the back of the run to poop and that’s when we noticed the loose stool that didn’t look good.

Catlin ran a test and it came back positive for Parvo.

Other than the diarrhea, this boy was not showing any other signs.  No lethargy, he was eating treats just fine, very playful, good color, no discharge, etc.

Could be very early stages, which can respond very well with supportive care.

If you saw this dog in person, you would fight for him.

He is not only gorgeous, but has such a sparkle to him.  Just a babe, only 7 months old.

If anyone has a vet clinic with an isolation room, we can get this boy back on his feet in no time."

Please network like crazy and place a hold QUICKLY!
