Moose is a 13 week-old Collie Mix in El Cerrito, California who needs $3,000 for Parvovirus Treatment.

We adopted Moose from a rescue organization called Finding a Best Friend Rescue. He was in a litter of 8 pups rescued with their mom from a homeless encampment in Stockton. We fell in love with him right away--his sweet nature, his one startlingly blue eye and his round, pink tummy. He was 13 weeks old and came home to live with our family of eight--mom and dad, three kids, two cats and a snake. We chose the name Moose because of his too-large-for his body ears. He was with us for only four days, just starting to make friends with the cats, when he became sick. We were horrified to learn it was parvovirus. He had had his vaccines, but not the very last one yet, because he wasn't quite old enough. We don't know where he picked it up because he didn't leave our house or yard. He has now been in the emergency pet hospital for four nights and we are being told he is very sick. They believe he will recover, but will need to spend at least two more nights in the hospital.
