These three five-week-old beagle mix pups arrived at D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre full of that wobbly baby-puppy energy. Five days later everything changed. All three tested positive for parvo, the same virus that took their sister in a single night. The vets laid out the options: treatment at $3K to $4K per pup or euthanasia. For a shelter that receives zero government funding and relies entirely on donations, fundraisers and our own services to stay open, the answer should have been obvious.
