🥰Your prayers and get well vibes are working. He’s very frail and wobbly when standing but he went to his water dish a short while ago and drank on his own. We still have to syringe feed the baby food and bone broth. His eyes are not rolling back in his head and his body isn’t totally limp. We are very hopeful that we turned a corner. He’s still not out of the woods, but we see improvement and we will take whatever we can get!❤️‍🩹 A new video attached.

🙏 Prayer warriors, we need your prayers for this little pup. If prayer isn’t your thing, we’d appreciate all the positive thoughts and good vibes you can send his way.

Against many odds, Peanut made it through the night. We set alarms every hour to check on him, and at one point he was lying there completely still and unresponsive. We truly thought we had lost him. We kept Karo syrup, baby food, and bone broth close by and continued doing everything we could for him. His fecal sample test came back negative for parasites. It’s really hard to say what’s happened to him, poison? Maybe

This morning, he’s still very weak, but he’s a little more alert than he was. He’s showing us that he’s a fighter, and we’re going to be right here beside him doing everything possible to help him pull through.

We’ve been calling him “Little Peanut,” and the name has definitely stuck. ❤️

Please keep the prayers, positive thoughts, and good vibes coming for Peanut. He needs every one of them right now. 🐾🙏 ... See MoreSee Less

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. ... See MoreSee Less

Update: 2 of the 3 puppies are at a board members in Moses Lake, the other one still struggling is at a board members in Ephrata. The two in Moses Lake will be moved into foster in Kirkland on Thursday morning. The sick one needs to stay close to Pioneer Vets for possible further treatment.

🚨 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. ❤️
