I have a heartbreaking message from Second Chance Rescue NYC and I knew I had to share it with you. Please read their message and leave them words of encouragement in the comments!
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of baby Oliver. Earlier this week, we pulled a mom and her 3 Parvo positive babies, from an overcrowded municipal shelter in rural Georgia. Oliver was the most critical of the three. We fought so hard to save his life, but we lost the battle. The news that he passed crushed our souls. It’s always difficult to lose but even more difficult when their life ends before it begins.
While the loss of Oliver is a big one, we are grateful that Momma Autumn, Archie, and Hunter are doing well.
Oliver, we are so sorry we were too late. You meant a whole lot to us, and we will keep you in our hearts forever. Your life mattered. You never deserved to get sick or sit in a shelter waiting for help. We hope that we were able to fill you up with love for the short time that we had you. We love you so much.
In honor of Oliver, we ask that you please research becoming a foster. The shelter system is overcrowded, and every day is doomsday. We want to pull more dogs who are in need of medical care or time-stamped. We want to get them out but we need your help to do it. We desperately need it now more than ever.
Little babies like Oliver are out there waiting for rescues to save them. Become a foster today. Be a part of something so special and save a life. They need all of us. It can’t wait. Apply today by going to http://ow.ly/Fcu450GCNwY or clicking Linktree in our bio. "
