Animal Transport

Today I went all the way past 29 Palms out in the desert, there was even a sign that said “last chance for sand”, that how far out I was. And there I met up with another rescuer who had just taken the last 16 dogs (chi mix) from a hoarder (200 +) and was transferring them to me so I could transport them to a rescue that has already taken 30. We did it and didn’t lose a one. Not bad considering they were semi-social, but not where they like to be petted or touched in any way. He just kept breeding them and throwing them outside to fend for themselves. Well now they are off to a good start, they will get fixed and vetted and will be looking cute at a adoption event in the near future. A never ending story.

As you can see from the photos, this poor little girl had 2, approximately 6-inch long rips in her side, plus tooth marks on other parts of her body. We know that those are bite wounds from something, most likely a larger dog, how it happened we don’t know. She was pulled from a shelter and taken to the vets to be looked at and placed on meds before I picked her up at the vets office. She is all ready for her trip up north having had all her shots and received her health cert and is now awaiting transport to go to a fosters in the near future. I am sure she will have scars that she will carry the rest of her life over this. I just hope that her future adoptive parents have a lot of patience and love. It’s her time to move on.
