Having rescued a puppy from the South (Alabama), I know all to well the fate of most dogs in shelters in the South. That is why I was ecstatic to learn that even Sunny's mother got adopted by being sent to a no kill shelter in Massachussets. I am so happy to hear that these 2 labbies are going to get a chance at finding their furrever homes.

And to any and all dog owners out there...Please spay and neuter your pets. Especially in the South, there is a HUGE overpopulation problem. I am taking this right off of the rescue page where I found my Sunny:

We have dogs here in PA and we also transport dogs for our sister rescue in Alabama. We get WONDERFUL dogs from the south. Every breed and every age. We have an exceptional success rate. The We honestly represent these animals and the adoption fees include spaying/neutering on dogs 6 months or older, heartworm testing, rabies and distemper vaccinations, and worming. We will test them with cats and other dogs for you and we ship them to the Allentown area as well as throughout New England. We have excellent references and an excellent reputation. The adoption fees include $110 transport fee to get the dog to this area as well as $40.00 for a health certificate which is required by law to ship a dog from one state to another. Please go to our Alabama site by clicking on the following link. They are killing 40 to 50 dogs and PUPPIES every week down south. We only pull the very highly adoptable dogs. I promise you, you will be very happy if you choose this option. Bless you for looking to adopt a rescue dog.
