Stitch is a 3 month old Chihuahua in Oakland, NJ, who needs $2,000 for Parvovirus.

*Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge and A Pathway to Hope*

Abandoned puppy with parvo rushed to hospital with a prolapsed rectum.

At just 1.8 kg, this helpless puppy was dumped at a vets office in Paterson with the deadly parvovirus - so severe that part of his intestines came out his rectum. He is suffering from severe diarrhea and a painfully prolapsed anus.

We quickly mobilized, partnering with animal control and our friends at the Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge to save this pup, who we named Stitch after his resemblance to the Disney character . We hold onto hope that Stitch will overcome parvo and emerge healed.

While his little tush is shocking to see, the worst battle for Stitch is against parvo, which is a potentially fatal disease that cruelly attacks the gastrointestinal system of dogs.
