An urgent fundraising campaign has been launched by the Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth (HSKWSP) after a dog arrived at the centre in active labour earlier this week.
Four-year-old Daisy gave birth to three puppies – two girls and a boy – on Wednesday morning. All four dogs are doing well and have been moved to a foster home for care.
“The money raised will help Daisy and her puppies lead a healthy, happy life,” says HSKWSP chief executive officer, Kathrin Delutis, in a news release. “The cost of care for four dogs can add up quickly. Being a self-funded and self-governed organization that receives no funding from the government for our charitable programs and services, we rely on our community’s generosity to provide this life-saving, around-the-clock care. We truly hope you’ll donate today.”
Medical care costs are estimated to be $6,500 which includes daily care costs as well as spay and neuter surgery for all four dogs, vaccinations, parasite treatment, microchip and any other medication required.
Updates on Daisy and her puppies are available on the website, and those interested in supporting their care are encouraged to make a one-time donation here.
