The New Brunswick SPCA says it has rescued several puppies requiring urgent medical care.

An animal protection officer rushed seven underweight pups showing signs of illness to the emergency animal hospital.

None were vaccinated and all tested positive for the deadly PARVO virus.

One puppy did not survive.

The NBSPCA is appealing to the public for help with the cost of the emergency intensive medical care, food, and shelter for the recuperating pups.
