Parvo is rampant in the shelters...it is a tragedy for this poor pup. We can only hope that the other pup makes it. More shelters are finding ways to quarantine puppies from the rest of the population; if they can keep them separate for the 2 weeks required, it makes it easier to entice a rescue to commit to them as they know they are not potentially incurring an enormous veterinary bill with the probability of a sad outcome. Oprah was obviously trying to do something nice in adopting the pups...most likely from a puppy mill if they were purebred. I have found SEVERAL purebred dogs in the last 15 minutes on Craigslist... 2 Yorkies, a Boston, a Boxer, a Mastiff, a few designer dogs...a Puggle...I have tried to contact the people to ask them to PLEASE call breed rescue... Lilac Grove Farm is taking a purebred black Lab and her 2 week old purebred pups! Chocolate, yellow and black! Those dogs will be adopted in a heartbeat in the Northeast... Dawn Dawn Restuccia, Pres.
