When Virginia and her siblings were diagnosed with deadly parvovirus we feared the worst. She had recently been found under an old couch abandoned on the street, struggling to survive with her mother and littermates. Luckily, Virginia’s entire family had a strong will to live and when we reached out to you, you were determined to help save their lives too.
Your financial support allowed us to provide necessary life-saving care to these little fighters around the clock. While most of the litter responded well to fluids and treatment, Virginia did not. Her protein levels dropped to terrifying low levels and our veterinarian estimated that she had less than 24 hours to live. We knew she desperately needed a miracle.
While Virginia’s situation was turning critical, another recent rescue named Stitch was celebrating his new found freedom. Stitch had been found abandoned in an empty home with his brother, where they had been stuffed into a tiny crate and left alone together. Although Stitch was in poor condition when he first arrived, he never lost his zest for life and he recovered quickly from his terrible ordeal.
After his life was saved, Stitch then did something extraordinary.
He saved Virginia’s life.
Stitch donated his blood, from which we separated the plasma, and infused it into Virginia’s tiny body. This protein infusion was exactly the miracle this sick puppy needed. Virginia survived through the night and within a few days, she had enough strength to eat and walk on her own.
Less than two weeks after Stitch saved her life, Virginia was healthy enough to travel to her forever home, where she’s finally living the life she fought so hard to achieve. Stitch, her hero, also found a loving family to call his own.
We can’t thank you enough for following Stitch’s lead and never giving up. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and when one life has been saved, you never know how they’ll choose to pay it forward.
