Animal Transport

Today I pulled and transported these five from a high kill shelter. Yes they were all on the kill list, well now they are safe. The shepherd was an absolute doll. At 85 lbs or so he just wanted to be a lap dog. Who could have given him up is beyond me. The three chihuahuas were not socialized as the demeanor was to bite first and run. I don’t blame them and in time they will find their homes. All were very scared and nervous, not unusual for the breed. Where they came from who knows, but they will find their new homes soon. The other shepherd mix just went along for the ride. Didn’t seem to take much interest in what was going on around him, just went with the flow. He too will find his home soon. At least now they have a chance at a better life. Better than the others who didn’t get out.

Once they were out the door and loaded all they asked was “are we there yet?” The shelter was surprised that when they came back with the list, the rescues said we will take them all. So when I left the shelter it was a lot quieter than before, but it was a little more noisy going down the road. With the dogs barking, cell phone chiming away with messages coming in and of course other traffic on the road, it made an interesting drive to the boarding facility. These guys were loading this afternoon for their trip north, so it will be just a short stop for them and then they will be reloaded again and it’s off to the far north for these lucky ones. Now we need to just work on the ones left behind. They can’t be forgotten.
