🚨 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.

🚨 Update: 8:50 PM 🚨
We have some good news… 2 fosters have stepped up, and Kate with Finding Finnegan Rescue in East Wenatchee has graciously offered to take 2 of the puppies. ❤️
Our biggest concern right now is that there may be more puppies we haven’t found yet, as these larger breeds often have big litters. If you live near the canal area or happen to be nearby, please keep an eye out and let us know if you spot anything.
We are truly hoping there weren’t any more babies that may have fallen into the canal. 💔 Thank you to everyone helping, sharing, fostering, and watching out for these pups. It truly takes a village.

🚨 EMERGENCY FOSTER NEEDED 🚨
Can anyone help these babies tonight? Four puppies believed to be a German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix, approximately 8–10 weeks old, were reportedly dumped out on Martin Rd. 💔
One of the puppies fell into a canal and had to be rescued by nearby kids. Thankfully all four are now safe, but they urgently need a temporary foster placement until transport can be arranged.
We are looking for someone who can provide a safe, secure place for them to land for a short time. Rescue will help with supplies and coordinate next steps.
If you can foster one, some, or all four puppies, please message us ASAP. Even a short-term safe place can make all the difference. Please share to help us find help quickly.
🐾 They didn’t deserve to be dumped… let’s show them there are still good humans out there.

Today marked another significant transportation day, during which we successfully relocated 3 cats, 8 kittens, and 3 dogs to the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor. Notably, the eight 10-week-old kittens, particularly endearing, received lots of attention and they seamlessly transitioned into their new kitten suite. The facility's high standards were evident, reinforcing our excitement to collaborate with them whenever space becomes available for dogs, kittens, or cats.
