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.

It was a busy day trying to cover all this in one day. First I went to a city shelter, pulled a terrified boxer out that looked very afraid and didn’t want any part of this new world. So scared. It will take a lot of work to get this boy back to trusting anyone. Next one up was a shepherd that was not as bad, but still very scared and was not sure as to what was about to happen. I delivered him to a very caring kennel and I know in a short time he will be fine. While I was there I received a call to do a quick evaluation on a pittie that had only to 3pm or it was the kill floor for him. All the rescue wanted to know was, how is he with other dogs. That’s hard to determine in a shelter, as they won’t allow you to put the dogs together to find that out. So we improvised. Lets walk her through the kennel and see how she reacts to the others. She did just fine, she was so sweet, I just couldn’t leave her behind. So off to the vets with her and she will be going up north in a week or so. You just have to find a way to make things work. Lives are at stake.
