Today I loaded up 20 dogs from a rescue and transported them to a Seattle area rescue that really wanted these guys. As they stand a much better chance of getting adopted up there much quicker; after the home checks and applications are completed, it’s off they go. It is a win-win for everyone. As these 20 left, 20 more were being made ready to be pulled from the shelter as now there was room them. After vetting, spay-neuter completed, and a two week isolation period, hopefully they to can go north to be adopted. Believe me, it’s a team effort that all must play their part to make it happen. I am just a link in that chain. Everyone must stay focused on “it’s about the dogs”.

Today I needed to be in Laguna Hills by 5:00 a.m. for a pickup up of this big guy. So I was up and on the road by 3:00 a.m. and heading south. As with most early morning transports it’s always easy going because the traffic is light but returning can be slow because you are caught in the rush hour traffic. Our passenger just took it all in stride and was very quiet the whole trip. We arrived at our meetup point with another transporter at 6:45 a.m., on time and he really needed a potty break. I transferred him to their back seat and I know he was used to being in a car as he went right in and made him self right home. I never knew his name but I can tell he will fit right in wherever he goes. Why someone gave up such a wonderful dog is beyond me. I know the future bodes well for him, better than most.
