Today I pulled these four from a shelter that not many rescues pull from. If we didn’t get these dogs out, they surely would have died if not today, then maybe tomorrow. I try to pull mostly from the way out shelters that nobody goes to and that are not supported by numerous rescues or have a high adoption rate. Others can go to the high traffic shelters and argue over who they will save today and who might be saved tomorrow. I just go and get what we can and vet them and get them ready to go to good rescues that want good dogs; dogs who wouldn’t have had a chance because no one knows about them. The dogs just die in these out of the way places, where no thought is ever given to their rescue. Just a few at a time is all we can do.

Today I pulled this assorted crew from a desert shelter; some were scared, some just wanted to go and some had other concerns, like puppies. It was a very long transport to get there and seemed longer to get to the boarding kennel because I was concerned with the pups staying warm. We made it and they were just fine. Mom was concerned about leaving them to get out of the kennel, but we showed her that her pups were right there with her and she followed them inside with not a care in the world. She let us do all the worrying I guess. The others were fine after a little encouragement that the world is a better place now. So that’s how I left them, waiting for the next leg of their journey to begin soon.
