    Doing a Transport today!! SAD UPDATE Post #25

    I'll be helping move a GSD from the Mercer Ohio county dog pound, and a litter of 12 week old puppies will be joining the transport in Mansfield, OH.

    The final run sheet came with a picture of the GSD, I've attached it.
    I'll be picking them up at 1:00 today. I have my camera with me, so I'll post pictures later!

    Bless you for doing that! By the looks of the cutie that you attached I am sure he will have a new home for the holidays! I am in awe of everyone who gets involved in transports. I know i would be a foster failure and feel pretty sure I'd be a transport failure. (They'd never reach their destination! )

    I'm with Pam on this one. I'd transport them right to my house.

    Can't wait to see pics of the puppies.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    That's great that you can help these guys. What's your destination?
    I'll be waiting for more pictures. Looks like the GSD can't wait to be sprung. Best of luck with your trip.

    OMG.... Holy CRAP were those puppies cute!!! Don't know how I handed all 4 of them over!!
    There were 4 puppies all around 12 weeks old. 3 from the same litter, 2 Blank and tan males and a sable female. Then there was a white GSD around the same age. Regel (the picture I already posted) was a sweetheart!!!
    He jumped in my blazer, laid down and never made a peep!!
    The pups I put in a crate in the back and they played for a little while, then went to sleep. The 2 black and tan males looked pretty sick and their paper work said they had been exposed to kennel cough. They also looked to be loosing fur around their eyes. I made sure to clean up VERY good before letting Sierra and Bud near me. I disinfected the entire car too, doro handles, steering wheel... everything!!!!

    I took TONS of pictures but... can't post them right now. (Sorry for the teaser!! )
    I just wanted to let you all know that the transport went perfect and they made it to their foster homes last night in Buffalo, NY.

    The rescue that took them in is Brightstar GSD rescue.
    I'll post pictures later tonight or tomorrow.

    Joyce, I was VERY lucky, instead of driving the 1 1/2 I was supposed to, the guy bringing them to me drove further than he needed to, so I only ended up driving them for about 45 mins!!

    I am so glad everything went well on your trip. I'll be checking back for the pictures.

    Sorry, but I went ahead & looked up this GSD rescue group. Wow, I could
    spend hours at this site just looking at these beauties.

    Here's Regal... he was SUCH a sweetheart!! he was not all GSD, I think he had a little chow in him. His eyes and his tail gives him away!


    Enjoying the snow before I handed him off to the next person!


    Now for the puppies!
    You can see the blank and tan in the front of the crate looks sick, he looked the worst.


    The only little girl! Sable?? GSD mix??


    HANDSOME White GSD!


    All 4 ready to get out after our road trip.


    The guy that picked them up from me had an x-pen so in they went!

    Oh Angie, you are an angel for doing this. The puppies are so cute! I someday would love to have a white GSD but it probably will never happen. I think I might be a failure too. Amy has done some transports and I don't know how she turned the pups over to others.

    Aww, how sweet. It is so great that you and others like you are able to give these pups the new start that they need. That female pup is gorgeous.
