Pets Paradise at Parkmore Shopping Centre is raising money for a critically ill puppy in need of surgery.
Three-month-old Harry Heart Murmur, a King Charles Cavalier puppy, was diagnosed with a serious heart condition known as Patient Ductus Arteriosis and needs a large medical procedure in order to survive. The surgery is estimated to cost up to $10,000, and the staff at the animal specialist centre SARC in Highett have offered to do the operation at cost price.
Pets Paradise owner Cally Loridas said putting the puppy down was the last resort.
“We don’t believe in euthanasia for young pups,” she said.
“Putting it down isn’t something we want to do. We want Harry to have a long and healthy life, and for a family to be able to share it with him.”
Harry Heart Murmur is currently being cared for by Ms Loridas who is making sure he is happy and comfortable.

Now I’m no vet, but according to a very elementary search on Google, ‘patent ductus arteriosis’ (PDA) is the most common congenital heart disease in dogs. So, not only are Pets Paradise allowing shoppers the ‘privilege’ of purchasing full price stock for rescue groups, they’re now fundraising for treatment when their puppies get sick from diseases developed before birth.
The cup does runeth over at PP.
I’m no ARA, but this made me so angry when I read this in the local paper.
What a nerve she has, I hope no one donates any money to this bitch Cally Loridas who will will probably keep the money for herself.
Why doesn’t Pets Paradise at Parkmore Shopping Centre request the puppy farmer who bred this poor innocent pup, pay for all the Veterinary expenses, instead of tugging on the heat strings of the non suspecting public?
