It was a busy day trying to cover all this in one day. First I went to a city shelter, pulled a terrified boxer out that looked very afraid and didn’t want any part of this new world. So scared. It will take a lot of work to get this boy back to trusting anyone. Next one up was a shepherd that was not as bad, but still very scared and was not sure as to what was about to happen. I delivered him to a very caring kennel and I know in a short time he will be fine. While I was there I received a call to do a quick evaluation on a pittie that had only to 3pm or it was the kill floor for him. All the rescue wanted to know was, how is he with other dogs. That’s hard to determine in a shelter, as they won’t allow you to put the dogs together to find that out. So we improvised. Lets walk her through the kennel and see how she reacts to the others. She did just fine, she was so sweet, I just couldn’t leave her behind. So off to the vets with her and she will be going up north in a week or so. You just have to find a way to make things work. Lives are at stake.

On Wednesday I went out to the City of San Bernardino shelter and I was in a hurry. The last two times that this rescue tried to rescue a momma and her pups, the shelter went ahead and put them all down before we could show up. Well this time I was there at the opening bell and wasn’t going to give them that chance. As you can see we were successful and got them out before it was their time in the killing room. They are now safely at the foster’s home and at this time doing fine. It will be a couple of weeks before they are ready to travel and they already have fosters waiting for them up north. Wish all ended on such a high note, all we can do is keep trying.
