I was contacted by a very nice lady in Carmel, asking if I would pull and transport a dog from the Camarillo shelter to a rescue in the Sacramento area. After I checked out the rescue, whom I found out I knew and had made a previous visit to them, I said yes. I pulled Noah and transported him up there; he was so happy to be out of the kennel and be able to run and do what dogs do when they get to an unknown area. He made friends very fast with the staff and felt right at home within no time. I know that he will get the best of care at Second Chance Rott Rescue. This is his first step, on his way to finding that furever home.

On Friday I went to the Carson shelter to evaluate and maybe transport an “aggressive” dog named Simba for a rescue in northern Calif. Yes, out of fear, this dog showed its teeth in the kennel and would not come near you. She absolutely did not like the staff at all. We spent 30 minutes with her, giving her treats and just interacting with her to get her calmed down where we could get a slip lead on her. Once we were out past the kennels she settled down and we let her lay in the sun for a little while to get her composure back. Loading her in the van kennel was no problem, she knew what that was and hopped right in. From there I took her to Top Dog Boarding in the valley, but once there she did not want to leave the kennel, so we carried the kennel inside and off loaded her directly into a big kennel area and that’s where I left her to again settle down. I don’t know what’s behind all that behavior, but I know her future will be much brighter than her past. I also know that she is this way because of her past owner.
