I transported 3 pitties down to Valley Vet Spay-Neuter Clinic from the shelter in Simi Valley. It makes for a very short, but important transport; have to get these guys fixed. On Thursday one or two are scheduled to transport to Baldwin Park then on to our rescue in Tucson, AZ. The one thing that makes this transport noteworthy is that the shelter will no longer allow us to bring medication back from the Vet for the dogs. It seems some staff members felt they didn’t have to give meds, so why bother. The shelter’s position is if they need to be on meds, they can’t be in Simi awaiting transport, so get them out of there. Believe me they are not the easiest bunch of people to work with. It’s not about the dogs, it’s about them. So very sad.

I guess you can tell Halloween is getting close. I was asked to transport a pittie, named Monster, from one foster home to another in the L.A area. Now this big boy was not socialized to the degree that would be acceptable for an adoption and really needed some work and training to get him there. I didn’t take any pics as I was to busy trying to safely handle this guy and keep him under control. He was 70 lbs of solid muscle and didn’t give an inch. I can see why the foster wanted him moved to someone who might be able to handle him better. I am sure that his new foster is committed to this and will spend the time with him that he needs so badly. Hopefully he will move on to a real home and family and I won’t have to transport him again.
