Today I pulled Roy from a high kill shelter, where we waited 2 hours for the vet staff to say, yep medical waiver, so we won’t fix him. Of course its 95 degrees out, no shade, so we just waited. That’s the problem with most shelters, they are not user friendly to either the public or rescues. Some are better than others and will do all they can to get a dog out before it’s needle time, others, not so much. In rescue we just bite the bullet, do a work-around and put up with their bs so we can get the dog out and to safety. We got Roy out and safe and already vetted; soon he will start training and that will determine where he goes later. For now he will rest up before beginning the next leg of his journey.

Yep we picked up these two poodles that had been just totally neglected by someone. One has a broken leg that had never been treated, so it was missing 4 inches of bone that had just disappeared somewhere. Of course the other bone couldn’t support it very well, so it broke too. Neither injury was ever treated. Such pain this little one must have gone through. Well we pulled her and her sister, plus the two shepherd types, and off we went. The first thing that was done was to get the little one to a vet and start treatment. The others will be vetted next week in preparation of their journey north and to their forever homes, soon.
