Claire Survived The Euthanasia List & Parvo

At just two weeks old, Claire was already running out of time.

She had been found as a stray in Houston alongside her mama and littermates and brought to an overcrowded, high-kill shelter. Newborn puppies are incredibly fragile, and the shelter simply didn’t have the resources to provide the specialized care they could need.

Claire and her family were placed on the euthanasia list.

Thankfully, Montana’s Pack Rescue stepped in before it was too late and pulled the entire family to safety. For the first time, it seemed like little Claire had made it.

Then the worst case scenario happened: she tested positive for parvo.

Parvo is a devastating virus that can quickly become deadly in young puppies. And of the puppies who became sick, Claire had the most severe case.

She was only weeks old, tiny and vulnerable, and suddenly fighting for her life. Her rescuers were terrified they were going to lose her.

But Claire kept fighting.

Montana’s Pack Rescue made sure she received the intensive veterinary care she needed, taking on the mounting medical costs because giving up on this little girl simply wasn’t an option.

And Claire survived.

The tiny puppy who was once scheduled to be euthanized—and then came frighteningly close to losing her life to parvo—is still here today because people chose to fight for her.

Now, Montana’s Pack Rescue needs help covering the veterinary bills that came with saving Claire’s life.

Please consider donating toward Claire’s care. She fought so hard for the chance to grow up. Help the rescue that fought just as hard to make sure she got it.
