I went back to Devore today, pulling and transporting for a rescue who desperately wanted to save this mama and her 5 babies. Today was it. Leave or die. It’s so black and white. I pulled her and they brought her out in a bite cage. Well that’s not a good sign. Was she going to be a wee bit temperamental? I was going to find out soon. Remember that any time you have pups around some moms can be a bit overly protective, especially coming out of a shelter. But guess what? She was a sweetheart and just wanted attention. She didn’t really seem overly anxious about anyone handling the pups. They were brought out in a cage so all the pups could ride along with mom. Smart. We quickly loaded up so they could enjoy the air conditioning as it was almost a 100 degrees out that day. It was a long but cool ride to the rescue and she was so excited to be out of the shelter, she knew she was on her way. And she is.

I was sent to a vet clinic in San Bernadino today to gather up 2 pairs of dogs that had been turned into the Devore shelter together. As you can see, the Aussie and Queensland Healer were really stressed out with all the trauma of going to the shelter, spending a week there, then going to the vet’s for spay-neuter. And now I was moving them again. This time they went to a boarding facility in Palmdale and from there they will be going up north where a furever home is currently awaiting them. The other two were complete opposites. The big red guy just wanted to play. The little terrier wanted my fingers to snack on, not very well-behaved. Both pairs were put back together again at the boarding facility and their stress levels should go down. They all stand a much better chance of finding their furever homes up north than they ever did down here.
