No, it’s not from Amazon or a puppy home delivery service, just a terrier pup trying to keep dry on his way to the vets for his first visit. He was not feeling well and the shelter staff just wanted him kept warm and dry for the trip. Why such a cute little guy was turned into a shelter is beyond me, as anyone knows shelters are hard enough on adult dogs, for pups it can be a death sentence. Faster they get out, better chance to live they will have. Let’s hope we were in time for this little one.

Today I pulled these four from a high kill shelter, and two were on the kill list for today. That they were still alive is because someone at a rescue cared enough to arrange that they would have a future and a chance at a life far better than their past. All were labeled rescue only because of behavioral issues and they did have issues coming from the shelter. But when off loaded, not a one was even a little grumpy. Being out of the shelter even for just for a few hours makes such a difference and allows for a big a change in their personalities. They will be vetted over the course of the next week, and be ready for their trip north where we all hope a much happier future awaits.
