FKF June 2017 Case Update

​In June 2017, Fur Kids Foundation had 10 families apply for assistance, and we were able to help five of those families—for a total of $1,879 given in aid. In 2017, we have given $6,655.80 to families in Campbell County, Wyoming to pay for emergency veterinary care. Below is a rundown of the cases we provided assistance to in March:

1. Dog who was poisoned
2. Cat with abscessed teeth
3. Dog with a cut on his foot
4. Cat with a broken femur
5. Dogs with parvo

We have seen so many people getting a puppy and a few days later the puppy being diagnosed with Parvo. Please, when purchasing or adopting a puppy make sure they’ve had at least their first set of shots, any reputable breeder will give you vaccine records. Also, DO NOT bring your puppy to any public places until they’ve had all of their vaccines—this includes parks and pet stores. Visit with your veterinarian to make sure all of your pets are updated on vaccines, and to get your new puppy set up on their puppy booster shots. Also, always scoop your dog’s poop. Parvovirus is extremely contagious and can be transmitted by any person, animal or object that comes in contact with an infected dog’s feces. Read more about Parvo here.

You may also call and speak with any of our Case Managers about the process at 307.363.1131 or email furkidsfoundation@gmail.com.
