Update on the 3 little boys who were turned away at the Quincy shelter:
We received some encouraging news today. The sick little puppy had now tested negative for parvo twice, which is a huge relief! ❤️🩹
However, our little dark-colored boy is still quite lethargic and isn’t interested in eating. Pioneer Veterinary Clinic has decided to keep him a bit longer so they can hopefully obtain a fecal sample to test for Coccidia and Giardia. Both of these intestinal parasites can cause serious digestive issues in puppies and can make them very sick if left untreated.
While we still don’t have all the answers, we are incredibly grateful that parvo appears to be off the table. Please keep this little guy in your thoughts as we wait for more information and determine the best course of treatment.
The best news today is that parvo has been ruled out, and hopefully Pioneer can quickly identify what’s making the little guy feel so poorly.
Thank you to everyone who has been following their story and supporting these sweet boys. We will continue to keep you updated.

🚨 EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED 🚨
Another emergency involving dumped puppies… this time there are THREE of them. 💔
These little ones are approximately 2–3 pounds each and will be heading to the veterinarian first thing in the morning. Two of the puppies appear to be doing okay, but one is not. It has already tested negative for parvo, so the vet will need to determine what else may be going on.
We urgently need a foster willing to take these puppies in while we figure out their next steps.
This situation is especially frustrating because it highlights an ongoing concern we have with how some found animals are being handled. More than once in the past month, we’ve been told by members of the public that when they brought tiny puppies found abandoned in boxes to the Quincy shelter, they were instructed to put the puppies back where they found them.
There is absolutely no excuse for telling someone to leave vulnerable puppies outside. If a shelter is truly at capacity, then there should be transparency about that and efforts made to connect finders with rescues, fosters, or other resources. Telling someone to return defenseless puppies to a box is simply unacceptable.
Thankfully, the woman who found these puppies followed her heart. She knew she couldn’t just leave them there, so she reached out for help instead.
Tonight, these puppies are safe because one person chose compassion.
If you can foster, donate toward their veterinary care, or help us share this post, please reach out immediately. These babies deserve a chance, and we can’t do it without our village. ❤️

🚨 How to Help Prevent Parvo in Puppies & Dogs
Parvo is one of the deadliest — and most preventable — viruses we see in puppies. Sadly, too many families don’t realize how easy it is for puppies to be exposed before they are fully vaccinated.
🐾 How to Protect Your Puppy from Parvo:
✅ Vaccinate on schedulePuppies should begin vaccinations around 6–8 weeks of age and continue every 3–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks old (sometimes longer depending on risk). Adult dogs need boosters as recommended by your vet.
✅ Limit exposure until fully vaccinatedAvoid dog parks, pet stores, high-traffic areas, unknown yards, and places where unvaccinated dogs may have been. Parvo can live in soil and on surfaces for months — even longer in some conditions.
✅ Be careful with shoes & visitorsParvo can be unknowingly tracked into your home on shoes, clothing, crates, blankets, and hands after contact with infected areas or dogs.
✅ Don’t expose puppies to unknown dogsEven healthy-looking dogs can carry disease. Be cautious about playdates or visits with dogs whose vaccine history is unknown.
✅ Keep your yard and kennel areas clean if parvo has been on your property, proper disinfecting is critical. Regular cleaners do not kill parvo. A diluted bleach solution or veterinary disinfectants designed for parvo are needed.
✅ Feed quality puppy food & provide supportive careGood nutrition helps build a stronger immune system, but nutrition alone cannot protect against parvo — vaccines are essential.
🚩 Know the symptoms of parvo:
•Lethargy/extreme tiredness
•Vomiting
•Diarrhea (often severe or bloody)
•Loss of appetite
•Fever or low body temperature
•Dehydration
If your puppy shows symptoms — act FAST. Parvo can become life-threatening very quickly, especially in young puppies.
The best prevention is simple: vaccinate your pets, keep puppies protected, and spay/neuter to help prevent unwanted litters that may not receive proper care.

Update: Saturday morning… As tough as it is to report… we lost one of the 5 little pups last night. It’s never easy… we try… and we did everything that we could. RIP 🌈little one… you did not deserve the hand that you were dealt! Prayers that the other 4 pull through… we are monitoring them around the clock! ❤️🩹
—————————————————————-
Update: We received several options for treatment for the Parvo. Having them all hospitalized was an estimated $12,000. We can not financially do that. We decided to treat them all on outpatient with the monoclonal antibodies, also have them place IV’s for each pup, and all meds they’ll need for the next 5-10 days. That reduced the estimate closer to $4,800. It’s not cheap to save these littles, but they did not ask for this and their little lives matter ❤️🩹❤️🩹
——————————————————————
The Quincy Vet office confirmed our worst fear… these puppies have parvo. Or at least one of them does right now.
We only tested the sickest puppy before immediately heading straight to Cascade Vet in Wenatchee. Right now, we are sitting in the parking lot waiting for the team to come out and let us know what the next steps will be for these babies.
What we do know for certain is this: their treatment is going to be costly.
These five little cuties didn’t ask for this. They didn’t deserve this. They are the innocent victims of irresponsible pet ownership, and they are now fighting for their lives because they were never properly protected.
Parvo is devastating, fast-moving, and expensive to treat — but we are going to do everything we can to give these puppies a chance.
If you are able to help with the cost of their care, we would be incredibly grateful. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind thought matters right now as we fight to save them.
These babies deserve a chance. ❤️

We thought we had the day off today… a much-needed break. But rescue never seems to follow a schedule.
First thing this morning, we got a call from a lady in tears saying her five 6-week-old puppies were very sick and one was dying. She told us they had run out of puppy food, so the puppies had been fed oatmeal with sugar. The symptoms sounded very concerning and were spot-on for parvo, so we knew we couldn’t rule that out.
After calling around Grant County trying to find a vet who could see them ASAP, we hit dead ends everywhere. Then we lost contact with the owner entirely — radio silence. We became so concerned that we contacted the local Ephrata Police Department to do a welfare check on the puppies. Turns out, her phone had died and she had gone to a neighbor’s house to charge it.
It was incredibly difficult to get her to understand the urgency of the situation and respond quickly. We waited more than 3 hours just to get an address. During that time, we almost gave up.
And because rescue never stops… while waiting, we got another call about four tiny kittens dumped in a window well at the apartments on Basin Street across from Midstate Storage. We rushed over, picked them up, and got them settled safely into a playpen. They appear to be about 5–6 weeks old, fairly spicy, but thankfully otherwise healthy. Shame on the person who left them there.
At 11:30 a.m. — 3.5 hours after the original call — we finally received an address for the puppies. We had already used our last two parvo tests on the four shepherd puppies from Wednesday, so we’re now headed to Quincy Vet to have a couple of the puppies snap tested. If any test positive, we’ll be heading straight to Cascade Vet in Wenatchee.
One thing is certain: these puppies will not be returning to that home. We will also be paying to have the mom spayed.
Initially, we were told there were four puppies. There are actually five. They also wanted to keep one of them.
It is such a heartbreaking shame that animals continue to suffer at the hands of people who simply cannot afford to care for them or provide an appropriate environment. We are constantly saddened by the lack of understanding of the value we should place on living, breathing animals.
The hard truth? Not everyone should have a pet.
