Distemper and 5 babies fighting for their lives

These two babies are part of a litter of 5 little souls rescued from the streets of Bulgaria. Like many thousands of other pups, they were born amidst cold, scarce food, no reliable shelter, speeding cars, and cruel humans. As if this were not enough, the babies also contracted one of the most commonly deadly diseases in dogs - distemper.

Distemper is a virus which affects the respiratory, gastro-intestinal, and nervous system of dogs - practically all major systems needed for survival! Treatment is long, expensive, and not always successful. The ASPCA offers a thorough overview of the distemper diagnosis here.

Animal Aid International believes in giving all little souls a chance at survival and hope for a healthy life of no suffering. The 5 distemper siblings are fighting for their lives with all the might in their tiny bodies. We need your help in funding the extensive veterinary treatment that makes this fight possible. Please consider making a donation of any size today. Each pup needs $299 more for treatment as of the time of writing of this entry. All donations are tax-deductible and will help us save these innocent lives! Click here to contribute to their fund. Thank you so much in advance!
