Help Needed for Gravely Ill Puppies

East Greenwich Animal Protection League is in desperate need of donations for a litter of puppies receiving emergency medical care

The East Greenwich Animal Protection League is desperately in need of donations to help several gravely ill puppies. The “Frozen Pups” litter are two month-old terrier mixes named after the characters from the movie Frozen. They originated from a Southern shelter where their mother was abandoned while pregnant. After a mandatory quarantine in the South and another in Rhode Island, the tiny puppies developed symptoms of Parvo, a devastating and often fatal disease for dogs. Three puppies were rushed to Ocean State Veterinary Specialists during the blizzard. Sadly, one puppy did not survive, and two more remain hospitalized, costing the League thousands each day. EGAPL has requested donations be made to help the Frozen Pups. Every donation, big or small, will go towards the care of these puppies and allow the League to continue helping other cats and dogs in need of shelter this winter. To donate, visit the League’s Facebook page, click donate at their old website, egapl.org, or mail a donation to EGAPL, P.O. Box 184, East Greenwich, RI 02818.
