It’s the weekend and here we go again! As those who follow this page may remember, about two weeks ago we took in a rescue named Orion, who is currently being fostered in Michigan. He was one of four dogs seized by animal control in Wisconsin for animal cruelty (along with seven cats). As typical in these situations, the owner refused to sign the dogs over so they stayed at the shelter for over a year. Fortunately, a very nice shelter. In any event, the shelter finally got title to the dogs and contacted us. Today the other three have come into rescue! Odysseus is a large male about five years old, Ophelia, also about five is a gold sable girl who has terrible eye problems, and might be blind, and finally a black and tan girl, Olympia, also about five years old. Even as we type this message, they are zooming over the highways to make it from their meeting point in Indiana down to Tennessee. Odysseus and Olympia will be fostered in Tennessee while Ophelia will make her way north to New Jersey to her foster home, so that she can see the wonderful Dr. Wynne at Cornell to treat her eyes.
We want to thank Dawn and Nicole from the shelter not only for all their help but also for driving these four dogs (and the cat, Persia) many hundreds of miles to us. We would also like to thank AJ and Trevor for driving many hours today, and finally, we would very much like to thank the Allende family (Jeff and Trista?), who were kind and generous enough to lend their cargo van to Nicole and the shelter for the transport of three TM’s and a sassy cat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
