I went to the Camarillo shelter to pick up three dogs that had been prearranged for transfer to the Simi shelter for further transport to Tucson, AZ.

As we were filling out the paper work, I was informed that the staff had went ahead and killed the one we called k-6 as we had just completed his pull paperwork. It was that fast. One minute we had him almost saved, paperwork in hand. Next moment he was dead. It happened that fast. It was just an oops on the kennel staff’s part. It was a big oops as far as I saw it.

Absolutely no dogs are safe in the Camarillo shelter, unless they are out the door and in your car. I did the evaluation on these three and came to know all of them well. Little number six weighed in at maybe 35 lbs. I could tell he had not seen much love in his short life and now he will see no more. This is not the first time this has happened and I am sure it won’t be the last. All we in rescue can do is strive for one more dog getting to safety. One dog at a time.

This is the transport of Annabelle and Sondra, two very lucky young ladies. Sondra, the light colored one is very much a ham. She is so lovable, just wants to be in your lap. She doesn’t like getting picked up, just goes all limp in your arms and she weighs a good 65 lbs. Annabelle, on the other hand, is all over the road. She couldn’t wait to get in the truck and sniffed and sniffed all over. Remember they have never seen anything like this. All is so very new. She almost manage to make it inside and with a little help, she finally did. Sondra will be very missed by her foster and she did an excellent job of taking care of her. Thank you Kim for all you did. Sondra will never forget you. And we will never forget her.
