MIDWEST PAWS NEEDS EMERGENCY FUNDING - They are a licensed rescue and a 501c3 non profit organization.
On Thursday May 21st 2009 GWP Rescue Inc and Midwest PAWs were notified of 26 dogs that were seized by local animal control in Branson, MO. From a backyard breeder there were 19 puppies and 9 adults. The owner was allowed to keep 4 adult females and one adult male to continue his breeding practices. Although his breeding facility is unlicensed he is recognized as a hobby breeder. His breeding facility was contaminated with parvovirus and the pointers were infected with this deadly virus. The owner even admitted that his pointers were not vaccinated in general. The pointers from his care are suffering from a variety of medical conditions. Before necessary care could be given two pups were lost to parvovirus. All of these pointers were exposed to this virus, which made it difficult to find a facility that would care for them for fear of an outbreak. The infected puppies with parvovirus are in private medical care where they are cared for 24/7 and isolated to further prevent the spread of this virus. They will stay at this facility until they are medically cleared. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND DONATIONS: http://www.midwestpaws.com/
