We all have been very busy with us planning our wedding! Thanks so much to my amazing clients that have been so flexible with us! We did a quick fly down to California to visit our pups (they weren’t doing so well and needed mom and dad pick me ups). We have a “new” pup Tibs that we are watching for the time being and Riley isn’t so sure about him sometimes. Overall we are so excited for our wedding in 27 days. Thank you for my clients for understanding the month we are taking off starting June 1st. We love you all! Brianna Colon Brianna Gomez Michael Schaeffer Tito Rivera

Irrigation ditches start flowing soon-usually around May 1st and we always see an increase of dogs needing our care for vomiting and diarrhea the first week or so the ditches start flowing. PLEASE keep dogs out of the ditch water the first 7-10 days.

Please do not use blankets for outdoor animals. They hold moisture and can freeze. 🥶

Distemper Update and Important Message from GPRM Board of Directors

We need to talk honestly about canine distemper.

Distemper is coming out of shelters in Utah, California and potentially surrounding states. It is a highly contagious and devastating virus that can attack a dog’s entire body — respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, and nervous system. Once it reaches the brain, the damage can be severe and irreversible.

We lost Blue to distemper today. The pyr border collie puppy we recently pulled. By the time symptoms were clear, the virus was already too far gone and had entered his brain. This disease moves fast and does not always give rescue the time we wish we had.

We want people to know there is hope, too. We were able to save Shayla and Tucker this past summer/fall from this awful disease but it came at a cost of over $10,000 in medical care and only happened because we had an incredible medical quarantine foster who stepped up and took on the hardest part of rescue.

What you can do to help protect dogs right now:

💙Make sure your dogs are fully vaccinated
💙Be cautious with dogs coming from unvaccinated areas or shelters
💙 Support responsible rescue practices that prioritize quarantine and prevention
💙Consider fostering only if you can safely isolate when needed

What we are doing immediately:

🐾Vaccinating dogs as soon as they come into our care
🐾Limiting exposure to dogs from unvaccinated areas or high-risk shelters
🐾Quarantining dogs when medically necessary
🐾Taking any dog showing symptoms straight to the vet without delay

If you ever want to help in a truly lifesaving way, we are always in need of medical quarantine fosters. These fosters must have no other dogs and be willing to help with the hardest, most emotional part of rescue — caring for dogs who are sick and vulnerable.

If that sounds like something you could do, please apply to foster. Medical fosters save lives when it matters most. Link to apply- https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/PYR/Dog

Please, share this post. Awareness, prevention, and compassion are how we protect dogs and each other.
