It was a busy day. First I picked up the little malti-poo who was very depressed, but as we headed down the road, he slowly came out of it. Next stop was the vet clinic to pick up Wallace who had just gotten fixed and was he big; 100 lbs. and then some. That kind of ruled out him sharing a kennel with the malti-poo. Next stop was a shelter that we all dearly love where I pulled the retriever and chi mix. It went quick and the chihuahua shared the kennel with the malti-poo. They got along just fine on the trip. Next stop was another shelter that is high on everyone’s list for disliking. There I pulled a red chow-chow who was grumpy and we had to load him very carefully as he was labeled aggressive. I also pull a pittie mix for a fellow rescuer who does so much for those who are so forgotten and killed the most. If I can save any pittie I will. After all were loaded it was off to boarding in Palmdale where they will get their health certs and I believe they are all on this Saturday’s transport up north. Which means they won’t be in boarding long before going north and finding that elusive forever home that they could never find here.

Today I went up to the ranch to visit Max and introduce him to a potential adopter. It never ceases to amaze me how well all these dogs get along. There is no fighting, no one trying to dominate the pack. The guys that look after them are the pack leaders and all listen to them. There are some wonderful dogs there and they are all bonded to the pack and to the guys. It’s just amazing to watch them. The adoption didn’t pan out but she promised to look at others at SPARC in Santa Paula, so we will see. The chemistry has to be there. It’s about the dog, not us.
