Dopey is a 4-month-old Lab mixed in Houston, TX, who needs $2,000 for Parvo Treatment.

Dopey and Sleepy came into my possession through their mom which we have named Blanco. On Thanksgiving 2022 we picked up Blanco on the side of the road heading home to Houston at the time she did not look pregnant, and no chip. However much to our surprise just a few weeks in we noticed she was getting bigger. She gave birth January 18th 2023 to 5 puppies in our home!

We had 5 puppies total including Dopey and Sleepy, my significant other and I decided we would keep the puppy we could not find a home for. That was originally just Sleepy as we thought we had found a home for Dopey, but the new owners were not prepared and ended up giving Dopey back to us. It was when he came back we grew to love him despite already taking care of three dogs.

Dopey is so smart, he was starting to get down the routine of going outside to potty and he is so sweet, he gave the most sincere puppy kisses you have ever received. His eyes and smile would light up any room he was in. He was just happy to be amongst us, if you sat down he would immediately jump in your lap and give you all the licks until he would tucker himself out.

Dopey has contracted the Parvo virus, I noticed he was lethargic and not eating Thursday night, early Friday morning he was vomiting and would not eat. I called around and the fastest place I could take him was a veterinary specialist. He is in stable condition with a fever, but is not eating and is being fed with a tube and an IV drip for hydration.

I have a job, but like most I do not have unlimited funds in my bank account to fund his care. The 24hr care he is receiving is extraordinary. I have already dished out almost 6000 through care credit and my own money to try to get him through this.
