THE TRANSPORT

Through the efforts of many, we were able to, over the weekend, move three dogs from an elderly owner/breeder situation to loving foster homes on their way to finding new forever homes.
Their journey started on Saturday when the Road Trip Girls, Holly Crotty & Beth Spitzer (of WESTIE RESCUE OF MISSOURI) made the long, long (did I say long?) drive to Waynesville, Missouri and back. Along they way there were issues with crate poop but, I understand, it was handled with humor and the dogs were turned over to Jim Lewis (who gave up a fishing trip) for the northbound leg, ending up at my house for the night, where Shell Lewis came to snap a few photos.

In the morning, and after my husband, Chris, chased one of the dogs around the yard for half an hour trying to get it in the crate, I met the fabulous Jenny (along with her excellent boyfriend & excellent Cairn) who drove two of the furballs to meet the ever-humorous and calm-in-the-face-of-anything Peg Emonds, who then took the babies to I'll-drive-anywhere-to-save-a-dog Jen Guthrie (for the long, long trip back to the Detroit area, where Danielle Waitz met her new foster, Friday, and to the very excited Al & Janet (who had a Welcome Rockie sign on their garage door.
In the meantime, I dropped the third baby with Belinda, who was thrilled to be able to foster a girl this time, the very small & elusive Sugaree.
The total mileage for this route was over 800 miles and involved many wonderful volunteers. We had so many volunteers for this move that I had to give some of them rain checks to participate on the next one because the routes were full. What a generous group.
Wherever you are as you read this, please give a round of applause to an excellent group of volunteers who saved three dogs on a beautiful summer weekend in the Midwest. At times like this it is easy to remember why we do what we do.
