‼️🐾STRIPE HAS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT 🐾‼️
Hey there friends, its the strong and mighty Stripe, finally checking in! Thanks to everyone who sent me prayers, well wishes, and encouraging words during the scariest time in my little life. And an extra special virtual smooch to each and every one of you who donated!!
As most of you already know, I got SUPER DUPER sick about 2 weeks ago with the icky, deadly parvo virus. I was hospitalized at UGA for 13 days where I received of intensive, life saving care. As you can imagine, lifesaving care from a 24 hour specialty hospital is not cheap... in fact, my bill was $8,500!! But my rescue family assures me that I was worth every cent... I mean, have you seen my cute face?
Anyways, what you may NOT know is that I was one of 17 puppies (YES YOU HEARD RIGHT, 17) that broke with parvo. You see, the real nice peeps here at iWag (fka Life is Labs) saved 5 different litters around the same time from the same rural part of Georgia. This area is near and dear to their heart and also has a serious stray dog problem, which means a serious puppy problem too. Unfortunately, they soon discovered that was not the only problem they had.... there was also a break out of Parvo.
Slowly, each litter started becoming sick, and each puppy (except 2) required days of hospitalization and then weeks of continued intensive care at our medical directors home!
I am happy to report that every. single. puppy that broke with parvo is recovering!! Out of the 17, there are only 4 puppies still being treated. Thanks to many of you who donated to Kristie's fundraiser, we already raised $10,000- covering HALF of the total medical bills.
Tomorrow is , and I would LOVE it if each and every one of our followers and supporters could donate something, no matter how small, towards us kiddos medical bills. Help our rescue family continue to save more lives!!
Thanks again for helping me pull through, and don't forget to click the "Donate" button tomorrow and give a little to the rescue that saved my life
Puppy kisses and tail wags,
-Stripe 🐶🐾
