On Monday I took seven dogs up to Terry at Stonecliffe Animal Rescue in Lemoore, about four hours north of Camarillo. These little guys all had been pulled from the shelter over the past two weeks and spent their time waiting at fosters or at the Simi holding facility until we could get the openings at Stonecliffe. Well, Terry finally had room and off we went. The little guys were all very nervous and a little apprehensive at the start of the trip, but soon settled down and enjoyed the quiet ride, looking out as the world whizzed by and wondering what was in store for them next. Always keep in mind these guys have not known a normal home in quite some time. So that does make them a little nervous and excited. When we arrived and Terry put them in the large enclosed play area to meet everyone, they were all doing the meet and greet and got along well with all the greeters. In a few minutes you would have thought they had been there for weeks. They were all looking at me through the fence as I was leaving as if to say goodbye for the last time. It really does pull at your heart as they all stare at you and you know you won’t see them again, but knowing they will now have a chance to find their forever home, makes it a little easier as you drive away.
