🐾 Five Little Lives. One Big Second Chance.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three boys, two girls, and an incredible team of lifesavers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When five puppies needed help at the Carson shelter, Molly and Old Blue Inc.<\/strong> stepped in to cover their veterinary care, and our extraordinary foster, Teri, opened her home once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All five puppies tested negative for parvo, received veterinary care, and are now safe, happy, and enjoying puppy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venus needs a patient, safety-conscious family who understands her escape-artist talents and will keep her secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
