Sparky and the Gang and Fix Long Beach Raise Funds For the Fix Project Parvo ICU

Help Save Puppies from Deadly Parvovirus!

Fix Long Beach Pets and Animals (The Fix Project) is honored to be the first clinic in the U.S. to carry the Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody—an innovative treatment from Elanco Pet Health and the only USDA conditionally approved therapy that directly targets parvovirus. Early results show a remarkably high success rate.

Parvovirus is one of the most contagious and deadly diseases in dogs—especially puppies too young for their full round of vaccines. Left untreated, it has a 91% mortality rate. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 900 cases are diagnosed every day—that’s more than 330,000 dogs each year.

Until now, treatment options could only provide supportive care. For many fragile puppies, that simply wasn’t enough. But thanks to this breakthrough, we are seeing more lives saved than ever before—including our tiniest and most vulnerable patients.

Your gift helps us provide this life-saving treatment to dogs in need. During Long Beach Gives, please consider a donation to give sick puppies a fighting chance at life. Every dollar helps. And if you are able to provide a match donation, please contact us!

Sparky and the Gang intervenes animals going into Long Beach Animal Care and works with LBACS to foster and adopt hundreds of animals. We have become a contact for many local residents prior to contacting the shelter for abused, abandoned, stray and surrendered animals. To date, we have adopted thousands of animals into loving homes. We work with local stores to host adoption events at different Long Beach locations throughout the year. We also partner with Fix Long Beach to offer low-cost spay/neuter services, vaccinations and microchips for pets in Long Beach and nearby areas.

Mission

Sparky and the Gang is a not for profit charitable volunteer-based organization working to rescue dogs from local pounds, the streets and from unsuitable conditions -- placing them in safe, loving homes. We specialize in helping some of the most hopeless canine cases and given them extreme hope and ultimately success in forever homes. We are a foster-based organization based in Long Beach. All group members work on a volunteer basis and most have full-time jobs separate from this organization.
