I run a rescue and railroad.
We had a person adopt a transport outside of our own perview. She then EUTHD A DOG WHO did not get along with the handicapped newcomer.
To not deliver to the next person in the train is tantamount to theft.
I have fallen in love w/so many I foster and transport. My most memorable was a foster whose adoptive family told me the dress I put her in was almost a deal-braker. Told them I got a ton of dresses! And she was to come to me if their situation didn't work out.
WE ARE GIVING FOSTER AND RESCUE A HUGE BLACK EYE IF WE ARE UNRELIABLE.
If someone took an animal I rescued and was sending to furrever, you can bet I would be on your doorstep with a subpeona.
Rescue animals are in the amount of THOUSANDS daily. We cannot possibly check and divert. There are too many others who will die because of our inattention.
Jane, what you do saves lives every single day.
This however is not your decision to make.
Oh, but I would remove your name from my email list and caution the railroads.
DNR is an ugly thing and if I live to be one hundred, I pray I am NEVER a DNR.
Thank you for all that you do and leave furrevers to the rescuers.
The passion in this endeavor getting an animal to their SCHEDULED rescue trumps even the next breath you take. You must not realize this. It is EVERYTHING.
If I want to 'keep a dog' on the railroads, I will undergo every single criteria required, and I am here to tell you, there are HVs, refs, vet checks and the like. NILF.
Dont be a statistic, don't be a case study in how things can go wrong. Do the right thing.
