These two dogs are the last of a group of twelve that had been abandoned at a downtown vet clinic and had been forgotten by everyone. All except one rescuer. She has spent a year getting them out by herself, raising the money, having them vetted, transported to good rescues and for all of them to have found homes. These two here are the last of that group. Named Dolly and Saint, I picked them up and transported them to a boarding facility, where they are awaiting final air transport in the next few weeks to a well recognized rescue up north that has agreed to take them and get them adopted. These two have been in a kennel for a full year. They do look awfully good after being cooped up and they are very friendly with people but with other dogs, that will still need to be determined. At least now they have a chance at a better life and we can all move forward and help others that are still in need. We may win some battles, but the war goes on.

I went to a shelter today to pull 9 dogs that were to be killed if not out now. The little terrier that you see in the photo was suffering from an infected bite wound that was getting worse. I pulled her and had her loaded, ready to go to a vet’s, when the shelter staff pulled her back and cancelled his departure. Why? They said they wanted her to go to their vet to determine whether she could be treated or killed. They took her and the vet said kill her. Well that caused an expected uproar as you can image. After much discussion, she was re-pulled from the shelter and taken to another vet, where they began her treatment and hopefully she will be fine in a few weeks. So much drama could have been avoided if I had just taken her as originally planned. It’s never ending.
