I met him today at his owner’s apartment, she needed him to be transported to the vet and one of the rescues agreed to pick up the vet bill for her. His name is Blue, I know, very original considering he is a blue pittie. He’s 8-9 years old and so lovable and sweet. He was having medical issues and she couldn’t afford his care, so a rescue chipped in so he could get the care he needs. His previous owner died a few months ago and the daughter is looking after him the best she can. We are just trying to keep him out of the shelter. We know what that would mean for him and no one wants that. We will start looking for a more permanent solution for Blue as soon as some that are ahead of him find their homes first. All are deserving, but so few good homes.

Today I pulled 6 dogs from the shelter, but only transported one to the vet hospital. All the others were transported by the shelter to the vet as they all needed to be fixed. That’s fine with me, so long as they get fixed. If more people would do that there would be far less dogs to be killed by any of the shelters. But the high cost keeps many folks from doing it. It’s much cheaper for the cities to offer this service when young, than have to take care of all the puppies later on. That’s been proven many times over. Well, at least these 6 won’t be adding to the problem any more.
