Mango is a 2-month-old Beagle who needs $1,800 for Parvovirus Treatment.

I currently live with Mango in my studio apartment in Maryland. It has only been a week since I have rescued him but boy has it been a roller coaster! I found him through a friend who could not afford to take care of him and it turns out he has Parvovirus, which is costing a fortune. Mango was happy and energetic the past couple days I had him and he suddenly declined.

Mango is sweet to people and is very curious of the world. He is a very smart dog and listens well. Although he is young, he is already showing signs of understanding my direction. He is a very intelligent dog and is a curious one. I cannot wait to introduce him to my friends and their furry friends!

Mango is a pocket beagle, a breed not a lot of people find today, so I wanted to take him in and give him a happy life, but he is going through a handful of health problems right now. Mango likes to jump around a lot and whimper to get my attention. When I talk back to him, he barks back at me and it's as if we are having a conversation. Every 2 hours he will ask me to pick him. He is my baby.

He currently is in Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington, DC. Dr. Cleaver is currently in charge of him. 202-695-7335 Mango has been vaccinated and dewormed. I was surprised to learn that he has caught parvovirus. I am very sad! He was so energetic and happy, he suddenly became ill. I did my best keeping him indoors because he is still so young.

Mango has to have the treatment at this hospital for the next 3-4 days or he will pass away. Because he is so young, I am hopeful he will come out of this. He has a good spirit so I know he will fight it through. We have only been together for week but he is my baby.
