Animal Transport

Today I was at the Devore shelter pulling for rescues that wanted these three out today as this was to be their last day at the shelter. The Aussie was not highly socialized but was a very good boy. With a little training he will be fine. The shepherd mix was very nervous but again fine. People have to remember how highly traumatized these dogs get while they are at the shelter. It’s not like when they are sitting in front of the fireplace waiting for you to come home. The poor chow was just about shut down and wanted nothing to do with anyone, I am sure that he will also be fine once he gets to a rescue that will spend time with him and pull him out of his shell. Time is all they will need, plus a lot of lovin from some caring folks, and all will be as it should be.

Last Sunday I went to the Camarillo shelter and pulled Sema for a northern rescue. Tuesday she was fixed and on Wednesday I picked her up at the shelter and to the vets we went. Although 5 minutes late, they were understanding and Sema was a doll while waiting to get her heartworm test and health certificate for the upcoming transport. She passed with flying colors and then we were off to boarding. I checked her in and she will be here for a week until I pick her up again early next Wednesday for her trip up north with me and 4 other pities that will be going on a private transport. These dogs have so much patience with us humans passing them around to different locations in getting them to where they can get adopted and start a whole new life. I wonder would any of us be so accommodating in similar circumstances. Have to wonder.
