then moving to Linda Denton in Colorado on 20 July.
ZOEY - Female to be fostered in Kentucky.

Not up for traveling".
On 8 July, Violetta writes:
Five of the TENNESSEE 8 - BIG GIRL, MONA, MOLLY,
ZZ & ZACH - were transported on Saturday from
Kentucky to Iowa by CRUSA Angel Bill Schumacher.
Bill flew to Louisville, Kentucky, met BJ at Peggy Nalley's home
and drove the five Tennessee furbabies to Davenport, Iowa,
where he met Melanie Oleksa.
He also gave a ride to their forever homes to CRUSA's BEAR & INDY.
BEAR's new mom lives in Nebraska and drove to
Davenport to meet Bill and get her furbaby,
while INDY's new mom lives in the Chicago area,
so INDY stayed with Bill as he returns to his home in Chicago.
The five Tennessee babies ran happily in Melanie's yard
and in the coming week will be picked up by Shell Lewis
and delivered to their own foster homes in Illinois.
The last video shows them settling down.
The other three Tennessee furbabies - ZOEY, TOTO & BUTTONS
(f/k/a BUTTONHOOK) - stayed in Kentucky.
ZOEY went to her foster home in Kentucky;
TOTO is diabetic and blind and needs a foster home that can
give her two insulin shots per day; and BUTTONS is fear-aggressive
and needs an experienced foster home that can work with him and a trainer.

(JUST LOOK AT THOSE TAIL WAGS AND BACK RUBS
IN THE GRASS, ALL THANKS TO TRANSPORTERS,
FOSTER HOMES & DONORS. CRUSA THANKS YOU ALL!)
BECKY HAWKINS:
Such a wonderful large network of people getting the job done!
Prayers for these babies' continued journeys.
ANITA CHAROCHAK:
How wonderful! I looked at the first video of TOTO and
saw the insulin case where the previous owner wrote
'love her please' on it. It was so sad. Perhaps I was
too judgmental in my original comments. Maybe the breeder
just got older and had no money to spend on his dogs . . .
they all seem so happy & loving. Molly is sweet, too!
