While examining Peanut, Noah’s Ark staff noticed a suspicious spot of missing fur. Spots were also found on Ladybug and Apple Jack. Concerned that the pups might have ringworm, the staff immediately sent them for testing at a local veterinary clinic. Our worst fears were confirmed just a few short hours later. It was ringworm, a highly contagious fungal infection that causes fur to fall out and crusty lesions to appear.

In many shelters across the country, ringworm is a death sentence. The risk of infection to other animals and humans is very high, so rather than chance other animals being infected, they choose to euthanize. Noah’s Ark makes every effort to save each and every animal that comes to our shelter.

Noah’s Ark is not going to give up on these puppies!

Thanks to the quick actions of Noah’s Ark staff, the puppies are now resting comfortably at a local veterinarian’s office where they will receive treatments until they are well and any risk of spreading ringworm is gone. They were quickly isolated and transported safely. A special cleaning was completed immediately to prevent any chance that other animals will come in contact with ringworm.

We need your help. Ladybug, Apple Jack and Peanut could need treatments for as long as two months. The veterinarian who took these three adorable puppies gave a generous discount, but it could cost as much as $2,000 to care for them until they find loving homes. Could you help by donating, $10, $25 or even $50 to help with the cost of their care? Your donation will enable us to save these sweet puppies.
