A 13‑week‑old German Shepherd mix recovering from parvovirus is urgently seeking a foster home in Toronto.
The dog arrived at Toronto Animal Services as a stray and quickly fell ill. Prompt veterinary care has enabled steady progress, but the puppy remains vulnerable to the highly contagious virus.
To ensure full recovery, the foster placement will last one to two months and require strict isolation. The home must be pet‑free, with no contact with other dogs, and must remain off limits to other dogs for several months after the puppy’s discharge.
Caregivers will receive comprehensive guidance on cleaning, disinfection, and ongoing medical care. All veterinary expenses, medications, and supplies will be covered by the shelter, eliminating costs for the foster family.
The city encourages individuals who can provide a quiet, safe environment to consider fostering. Interested parties should contact the East Shelter at 416‑338‑7297 for more information.
