Judy's Forgotten Jewells

We need your help to defeat Parvo and save more puppies!

Judy's Forgotten Jewells has been renovating its shelter space and making significant improvements to minimize disease transmission and maximize animal comfort and enrichment. Most important among these improvements is a dedicated isolation space for incoming puppies so they can be quarantined before being adopted out or moved into the general shelter population. The isolation room is self-contained with its own cages, sink, HVAC, appliances, medical supplies, storage, and technology, which will be HUGE in keeping our puppies healthy! If they come into our facility with a disease like Parvo, the isolation space will protect the existing animal population while we work diligently to treat the sick puppies.

We take in animals from all over the region so their health and vaccination histories are typically not known or, unfortunately, nonexistent. Every time we save an animal by bringing them into Judy's Forgotten Jewells, it is a risk because there is always the possibility that we may be bringing disease in with the animal. So we can increase the number of lives we save while keeping our, we need to raise money to finish outfitting our isolation space with supplies, which includes purchasing a new Parvo treatment injection that has recently come on the market to rave reviews. The Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody treatment targets the disease directly with one dose, helps decrease the burden of supportive care, and resolves symptoms like vomiting and lethargy faster than previous treatment plans. We are so excited about the availability of this new treatment and want to make sure we have sufficient stock in our isolation space because we know Parvo will come into the facility even despite all the precautions we take.

Our goal is to raise $5000 on Give STL Day so our isolation space is ready to receive when we start taking in dogs and puppies at the beginning of June! Any additional funds will go towards purchasing more Parvo treatments.
