Thank you all for the posts!
I love doing it, I love knowing that I'm helping.
I know I can't save them all... but I sure can try!

Angie, don't know how you did it - I'd have turned right around & taken all those cuties home! (Come on now, you know you wanted to!) Good on ya!

Angie I've been waiting for these pictures and am so glad to see them this morning!
They're all darling, even the little sick boy. I hope they all find a loving forever home.

Thanks so much for doing this for them!

So cute! How did you ever let them go? I used to transport a few years ago. I miss it. It is a great feeling, isn't it?

I still ask myself how I didn't accidently leave one in my car!
Yes Val, it feels GREAT helping those that need help!

I might be doing another this weekend with 4 adult females.
I just know now how it's going to work out because I don't have room in my car to seperate them if some of them don't get along.

*Wing It*!!

Reminds me of a transport a couple years ago - two Sorta-Shepherds who were
advertised as BEST BUDDIES and good, quiet, travelers.
(No crates provided - heck - they forgot to pack their LEASHES, too!)


I took over from the Sunday lead-off driver, who pulled in and started removing the
Mutts from SEPERATE Crates - one in the center and one in the back of her VAN.

"Where's your *Stuff* she asked - they got no Leashes!
And KEEP 'em APART - they tried to KILL each other this morning!"

Oh, GREAT! ... I gotz a 4-door CAR with ONE back seat ...
We gonna draw straws for who rides in the TRUNK?

I mentioned the Transport Sheet mentioned "Best Buddies" & "good travelers" ...

"You must be new ... ya don't believe a WORD of that junk the co-ordinators send out!
Good luck - I gotta run ... here's their papers ... hurry up with that second leash!"

I told 'em both they were gonna Get Along and LIKE IT - or else!
We got underway and 5 minutes later the ***Grrrrin*** started!
I pulled over and reached back to hold both collars for a firm *SHAKE*
and the loudest KNOCK IT OFF or GET OUT!! they'd ever heard ...

They curled up side-by-side and munched Bisquits for the next hour!

Good Luck, Angie!!

Thanks Phred.
I know I could just try to wing it, but with 4 female GSD's, all over 75 pounds riding loose in the back of my blazer. Ehh... I don't think that's a chance I want to take. A LOT can go wrong there.

I'll just have to wait and see if someone picks up the leg I'd be able to do.
