27 Lucky dogs leave on the 4 th for their rescues and soon to be forever homes. If you have never driven a Transport you can volunteer where ever you are. There are always transports ( called Ports) criss crossing the US every weekend. Most travel north. Northeast, northwest or just north...some go east and west. From MO they go north usually. Dogs in MO are not always treated well. The really good pet owners take great care of their dogs but in southeast MO there are many bad dog owners. Dogs are chained out on short chains, no water, in the heat or cold. No dog house and if they are lucky enough to have one it is usually in shambles. NO dog should live like that. Many dogs live in pens their whole lives. That is no way for a pet to live either. Dogs are pets, they wants human companionship. They want to please their owners and yet they get stuck in a pen in the back yard. How sad for the dogs. I always want to ask the owners why they have a dog in the first place? What purpose does it serve stuck in a pen?
These are pictures of a few lucky dogs leaving next Sat.
If you would like to help dogs where ever you are you can drive a leg of a transport on the weekend.. it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling and drivers are the life blood of rescue. Without them I couldn't save all these dogs because they would have no way to travel. YOU can make a difference. Volunteer to drive a leg or two.
I work Friday night till allegedly 0730 Sat. morning, otherwise I would drive the Cape leg. Hopefully next time...
