Today I pulled Zoey from the shelter and transported him to a kennel in Sun Valley where he will be safe until next week when I transport him to Baldwin Park and then it will be on to Tucson for him. At least he is safe at the moment. As long as they are in the shelter, they are not. If Zoey hadn’t met Diane on the streets of Ventura, I am sure his fate would have been sealed. Diane has done so much to help Zoey, and I like to think Zoey knows it. She has raised funds, visited him at the shelter, played with him there and generally been a guardian angel to Zoey. Thank you doesn’t seem enough, but it is all I have, so a very BIG THANK YOU, DIANE for all you have done. Zoey’s journey isn’t over yet, but at least we have started it.

Eli is from the Camarillo shelter and was very shy and somewhat skittish on making first contact with someone he doesn’t know. After we spent a couple of hours, and when we had loaded him in the van, his look to me was just total heartbreak. I was his new friend and now again he was being abandoned. So sad. If I truly didn’t think this was the best for him, I would have kept him. I know the rescue he is going to and he will be very well taken care of with a lot of love and understanding. This is what we do in rescue, over and over. Find them, love them and let them go on to something better. It never gets any easier.
