If you notice his little bitty paws are somewhat bunched up like a boxer. Well they were. He was going for round 1. This little guy was a terror in a kennel. Ever put your hand in a vegimatic? (probably not). Well that’s what he did to me when I put my hand near him attempting to remove him from the kennel. He was all teeth. He won round one, I won round 2. Call it a draw. I did get him out finally and as this is not my first rodeo, he settled down after a bit. They do come out of the shelter sometimes really traumatized and one must have a lot of patience in dealing with them. hopefully he will get a week or two to settle down at new (temp) home and realize the world isn’t all bad. That there are some good people out there and Irma of Last Green Mile Rescue is definitely one of them. He will come around in a few days and be ready for adoption and a new forever home.

These boys don’t realize how lucky they are. Once boarded, the flight is about 5 hours to Oregon and another hour to Washington versus 20 hours by ground. The dogs seen here come from all different shelters around Southern California, from Camarillo we managed to board 4 of our pit bulls on this flight. The plane will hold maybe 27 dogs of different sizes. Yes, are they squeezed in. Are they a little uncomfortable? Maybe. Considering the alternative they are very lucky indeed. The pilot, Yehuda, totally donates the entire flight at his expense. All we have to do is show up, proper documentation in hand and help load.

What a deal and he does this at least once a month. To say thank you Yehuda, somehow doesn’t seem enough, but it is all we have and all they have, so again we say thank you from all!
