Kitra = Love. You might not have seen it laid out quite that way before, but it’s true! This darling five-week old girl is named after Kitra N., the woman who organized the simultaneous rescue of nearly 90 dogs just last week. If she can do that in a few days, imagine the impact she has had over the years she has been working to save dogs from lives filled with hunger, disease and neglect.

Sadly, this little puppy is not going to escape the life she was born into as easily as some of her siblings. Kitra has been diagnosed with Parvo and is in the intensive care unit at the University of Minnesota’s vet hospital. Though her foster mom has been treating her at home with fluids and antibiotics as recommended by the vet, early today her condition worsened and thanks to the vigilance of her FM she was admitted to the hospital. Her care at the U will likely run in the thousands of dollars, but this solid five pounds of puppy love is worth every dime.

With expert care, hard work, and the fighting spirit she shares with her namesake, Kitra has a chance to survive and know the love of a forever family. Will you help? If you can help defray the costs of her care, please consider a donation to RAGOM [2] in her name.
