Akita Rescue contacted me about pulling this boy and his sister and bringing them out to Akita Rescue in Riverside. Well sis had to wait until she was fixed on Sunday, but the boy was ready to go, to where? We decided to place him in the Simi holding facility for the weekend until his sister was ready and finished with her medical. So I pulled both, placed the girl on the spay-neuter list for Sunday and transported this big boy to Simi to await transport on Monday. Now remember the dog weights maybe 110 lbs or so and he didn’t want to get in the kennel, and I mean didn’t want to get in the kennel. It took two staff members and myself to get him in there. we finally did, but I am not looking forward to Monday. He must have had a very bad experience at one time with kennels. Well I know he found out there was nothing to fear from my kennels, so maybe Monday won’t be as bad. We will see.

I pulled Rocky from the shelter today, his last day that they would keep him alive, there were to be no more reprieves. So off we went to boarding, just so we could have more time to network him amongst the rescues. I believe he will be going to Tucson next week, but we are not sure yet. At least he is alive. This can’t be said for the ones that were left behind today to die. Nothing we could do, there just isn’t enough homes or fosters for everyone. No matter how hard we all try. Rocky is so full of energy and life. All he wants is a human to look up to and trust. Those big eyes of his will get to you every time. At least now he has a chance.
