Today was transport day for the animal rescue that I work with. In the messages that had been circulating throughout the week I was expecting that we were getting 7 puppies that were coming from Arkansas. They were all between 5 months and a year old and all were at risk for euthanasia.
Fosters were assembled and we were so fortunate to get them out of there in time to save their lives. I arrived at transport expecting 7 puppies. I did not expect that these 5 month old puppies would be 40 pounds! So instead of what I imagined would be tiny puppies getting baths in the sink, I helped harness and get collars for young, very medium sized dogs. Transport is one of my favorite things about rescue. It’s just magical to see who these dogs are the moment they officially have freedom. We get to unite them with their foster families, get the first snuggles, and then when their pictures come up again as adopted, we can celebrate too. It’s amazing to get to be a part of the journey for so many lucky dogs!
