There's a FB plea circulating that is asking for help transporting two 12 week old newf pups from Alabama to Pennsylvania.
A woman named H**** decided to coordinate pulling the two pups from a shelter for herself without seeking assistance from Newf Rescue. She didn't realize the logisitics is getting something like this accomplished and the *project* has now overwhelmed her. The pups are in foster care and await transport.
Here's my problem...These two pups are positive for Parvo and she still wants them transported to her. She plans on keeping one and adopting one out. (she does rescue but she does it on her own and is not affiliated with any legitimate rescue organization)
There is a local non-newf rescue that has stepped in to help her and has secured the foster care until she can get things moving. I received a message stating that the other rescue is willing to assist but cannot afford the vet bills. I have no confirmation that the pups are under the care of a vet although I am told that they are.
I have urged H**** to please contact newf rescue and let them take over but it has met with resistance. She states "I know what I'm doing"
For all of you that consider helping ANY dog, newf or otherwise, get to a new home you must keep one very improtant thing in mind. You cannot legally transport ANY dog across state lines without a Certificate Of Health.
There's no way for this situation to go anywhere but south real fast....Please! DON'T TOUCH THAT DOG unless you know that a certificate of health will accompany that dog to its final destination. Spreading Parvo (or any other contagious disease) is not something you want to be a part of.
