Please consider supporting Lucky Penny Rescue this giving season 🌟💗🐾

We are an at home, foster based, 501c3 non-profit animal rescue in Laredo, Texas. While our main focus is dogs, we are growing in the area of cat rescue and TnR.

We primarily work with our city shelter here in Laredo, identifying dogs on the pre-euthanasia and euthanasia list who are therefore at immediate risk due to overcrowding or health concerns.

We have rescued puppies, senior dogs, pregnant dogs and very sick dogs who had to be hospitalized immediately upon release. We have also rescued very young kittens and a blind cat.

Such as:

🐶 Pixie: Pixie came to us at less than 12 months old and pregnant. She was scheduled for euthanasia at the city shelter due to space concerns. Unfortunately, she had mated with a male dog who was much bigger than her and so, despite only carrying 2 puppies, they were very large and she had a complicated pregnancy. In the end, she had to have an emergency c-section to save her life. Happily Pixie and her babies survived but we had to bottle feed the puppies for the first few days of their lives while Pixie recovered. All three now live in wonderful forever homes.

🐶 Spud was scared, underweight, with an upper respiratory infection and wounds all over his little body at various stages of healing - some new, some clearly very old. Whatever had happened to him, it was rough. We released him from the euthanasia list, and rebuilt his confidence while healing his injuries. Spud now lives happily in a wonderful home and is loved beyond measure.

🐶🐶 Cotton & Jelly Bean were confiscated by the city has part of an animal neglect and abuse case. Cotton (white) entered the shelter pregnant and gave birth to her puppies before she was eligible for rescue released. Sadly, all her puppies died and by time we managed to release her she had developed an infection in her uterus. Jelly Bean (black) likely entered the shelter with a recently broken leg which healed on its own but which she was very reluctant to put weight on. Happily, we managed to spay them both and take the time to build their confidence. They were adopted into very loving homes.

😻 Lucy was surrendered to our vets’ office. Found as a kitten with extensive medical issues, the person who found her couldn’t afford the medical bills to treat her so surrendered her to our vet clinic, who called us to see if we could help. We scooped Lucy up and hospitalized her. Our vet and techs worked really hard to try and save Lucy’s eyes but unfortunately they ruptured due to the chronic infection and had to be removed. Lucy’s recovery was far from straight forward, she required multiple surgeries and frequent visits to our vet clinic, but it was all worth it to experience her living the high life in her forever home.

🐶 Mama Sweetpea was found at a gas station, extremely thin, almost bald, covered in fleas and ticks, with a scar on one eye, and a missing claw on one paw. Mama Sweetpea was also carrying around an extremely large mammary tumor which was limiting her ability to walk and sit down. When weighed her tumor clocked in at 1/2 a pound. It was also horribly infected. Mama Sweetpea was estimated to be around 10 years old. She stayed with us in rescue for 6 months while we healed her medical issues and is now living out her retirement in a home where she is pampered every day.

In addition to our rescue program we also have a small-scale TnR program where we trap, vaccinate and sterilize community cats before returning them to their colony. After release we provide educational resources and a support network to ensure the colonies are well managed.

Thank you all for your support. We are grateful for you. 🐾💗🐶🐈

Day Three of Transport 🐾🚙💗

Day Three saw Goose waking up in Kentucky and falling asleep in Ohio - his destination.

Goose started the day with a nice long walk around the very happy and social neighborhood where he had stayed the night. He then sat on the porch and watched the world go by while waiting for his first driver.

Day Three of transport was smooth sailing for Goose, who by now has an understanding of how transport works. Goose happily rode through the rest of Kentucky, into Ohio and finally arrived with our wonderful partners at Companion Pets of Cleveland.

Goose was a champ the whole time, and while he did go off his food a little, as all of our transport dogs tend to do, he was happy, sociable and certainly enjoyed plenty of cuddles from his transport team.

We are so deeply grateful to our entire transport team, which has now grown to a pool of 60 volunteers - from drivers, to overnight hosts and our amazing transport monitor. Together, the members of Lucky Penny Transport Group form the lifeline between us in Laredo Texas and Companion Pets of Cleveland in Ohio. Thank you all for everything you do. 💗

Stay tuned for updates on Goose as he settles into Ohio 💗🐾🐶🚙

25/11/2024

🚙 Day Two of Transport! 🚙

On Day Two Goose woke up and went for a lovely long walk on the property where he stayed overnight. Once getting back to the house he ran straight to the bedroom where he had slept, jumped up on the bed and snuggled down for more naps 🤣 to say he’s adjusting well to transport would be an understatement.

Happily, Goose started out day two of transport very easily and travelled clear through Arkansas, Tennessee and into Kentucky. He made many new friends along the way and is fast becoming a favorite of our transport drivers and overnight hosts.

Day three is the last day of transport when Goose will arrive in Ohio with his new family thanks to the amazing work of Companion Pets of Cleveland - we are so excited and can’t wait to share those photos with you all.

We want to extend a huge thank you to our volunteer drivers, transport monitor and both of our overnight hosts - you are all incredible and feel so lucky to work with you.

Stay tuned for updates! 💗🐶🚙

🚙 Day One of Transport 🚙

Goose is having a ball! Just look at those smiles!

On day one of transport Goose travelled all the way through Texas before spending the night in Arkansas.

Goose is taking to transport like a champ, thriving on lots of cuddles during travel and walks in-between his transfers. It’s safe to say that Goose has stolen everyone’s hearts on this transport so far.

Goose’s overnight host took him for some long and lovely walks to help him shake out the travel when he arrived with them. After his walks he was lucky enough and loved enough to even sleep in bed with his overnight hosts 🤣.

We are so grateful to our transport network of drivers, an amazing transport monitor who keeps us all on time, and our overnight hosts. All of these people volunteer their time, their cars and even their homes, to make sure our rescues get safely from us in Texas to our partner Companion Pets of Cleveland in Ohio. We feel so incredibly lucky to have them all as part of our Lucky Penny/Companion Pets Rescue Team.

Stay tuned for updates on Goose’s journey to Ohio 💗🐾🐶🚙

23/11/2024

Early this morning we left Laredo, Texas with Goose and started his transport journey north to Ohio and our wonderful partner Companion Pets of Cleveland.

We are so excited for Goose! As much as we have loved our time with him we are delighted at the opportunities this fun little dog has ahead of him.

Stay tuned for updates over the next few days as Goose travels through Texas, up to Arkansas, clear through Tennessee and Kentucky before arriving in Ohio.

Thank you all for your support of our rescue - we couldn’t do this without you 💗🐾🚙🐶

🐾 Goose Update 🐾

Today happy-go-lucky Goose was back at our vet clinic for his pre-transport health check. Happily he sailed through with flying colors! Goose has put on almost 3lb since coming into rescue and is confident and social. His coat is growing back in nicely and has a good quality to it.

Goose’s vet was really happy with his progress and cleared him for transport north to our wonderful rescue partner, Companion Pets of Cleveland.

Tomorrow morning Goose will start his journey on our volunteer transport network, Lucky Penny Transport Group, and we can’t wait! He has been such a truly lovely, happy, well socialized little dog to spend time with these last few weeks.

Thank you all for your support of our rescue, we couldn’t do this without you 🐾💗🐶

🐾 Goose Update 🐾

Goose is thriving - he such a happy, well socialized, affectionate young dog and we are so proud of him.

Goose completed his course of meds for tick fever without issue or thankfully without ever showing symptoms. His coat is recovering nicely and his confidence is building with every interaction we have with him. He’s nicely socialized to household noises now: the TV, dishwasher and washing machine no longer cause him to panic and ceiling fans are no longer a scary beast in the sky. He’s curious about the household cats but he keeps a very healthy distance.

Goose regularly accompanies us on the walk to school each morning and is beloved by parents, kids and school staff. He loves all of the attention and is very well behaved around kids and adults alike.

Goose is still nervous around bigger dogs, fortunately that nervousness displays as him trying to hide and it’s fairly simple to redirect him on walks. As soon as the other dog is out of sight he forgets about it completely.

Goose is doing so well that we’re in the process of organizing his transport up north to Ohio and our wonderful partner Companion Pets of Cleveland.

Thank you all for your incredibly generous support of Goose’s rescue - we couldn’t do any of this without you 💗🐾🐶

01/11/2024

We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween and that you’re all managing to take a little time today to recover 🎃.

Goose continues to walk very well on a leash, he’s a very good boy and despite being young and full of bouncy energy he listens to commands like a champ. He will even turn around and let you know when he’s tired and is ready to go home 🥰. And then he’ll sleep on the couch for a few hours - perfect 🤣🐾.

Goose will wrap up his Anaplasmosis treatment this week and has continued to take his meds well and show no symptoms at all. We are so excited for him to come out the other side of this and get ready for the next stage of his journey. He remains tick free and while we’ve still got a little work to do on his coat, we’re taking it slow to build up his confidence and set a good foundation for his future family. We’ll do a separate post about our confidence-building approach to tackling Goose’s overgrown coat once the process is complete.

Thank you all for your support of our rescue, we couldn’t do this without you. 💗🐾🐶

29/10/2024

We hope you’re trotting into this new week with the same kind of sparkle as Goose here 😉 💗🐾

Goose walks fantastically on a leash and is a very well behaved boy on his walks - ignoring any dogs who bark at him as long as they’re behind a fence. He gets a little anxious around other dogs who are on their walks but so far that manifests as him hiding behind our legs until the other dog is out of his comfort boundary and then he goes back to walking as if nothing happened. We think is mostly a confidence issue and are hoping that as he gains more experience and confidence he’ll feel a bit more secure around other dogs too.

Thank you all for your support of Goose’s rescue - he’s doing great and we’re so happy for him 💗🐾🐶

16/10/2024

Just look at this happy face 💗

Goose is feeling better every single day. His coat is improving, he finally let us clip (most of) the mats off his face, he’s gaining weight, and his young dog energy is starting to make an appearance - he chewed up his first p*e pad and tried to bite the couch legs 🤣. This may sound strange but these behaviors made us so happy because they are normal, developmentally appropriate behaviors of a dog Goose’s age and to see him displaying them tell us that he’s really starting to feel like himself again.

We’ve also discovered that Goose LOVES a toy called a flirt pole - we know, we wonder why they couldn’t come up with a better name for it too 🤣. But, it’s essentially a really big version of a cat wand toy that’s reinforced for dogs. It’s fantastic for playtime, especially when we have hunting breeds in rescue - even our old man poodle mix Pierre enjoys his daily time with “the flirt pole”. And even though he’s a companion breed and not a hunting dog, young Goose loves it too.

So far we’ve seen no new ticks, dead or alive for 5 days now. If we can get to the weekend with no new ticks dropping off Goose/found in his coat then we’re going to call it and officially designate him as tick free.

Keep your fingers and toes crossed for this happy little guy - we’re almost there 🤞🤞🤞

12/10/2024

Thank you all!! 💗🐾🐶

So far we’ve raised $150 towards Goose’s
care, and we’ve received a $50 Chewy gift card to help with his food costs. Thank you all!

We are so grateful!

Earlier in the week we discovered that on top of ticks Goose also had tapeworms - while not surprising, as most of our rescues come to us with tapeworms, it was another parasite for Goose’s body to fight. Thanks to our wonderful vet, we were able to get some meds and get rid of them super quick. We’re already noticing that Goose is gaining weight, and the condition of his coat has begun to improve since treatment, and we’re so happy about it.

As you can see, Goose is really starting to feel better!

We’re going to leave our fundraiser open for a little bit longer, so please keep sharing our posts and helping us get in front of as large an audience as possible.

Thank you all for your continued support - we couldn’t do this without you 💗🐶🐾

New Rescue Alert: Goose!

Please join us in welcoming Goose to the Lucky Penny Rescue/Companion Pets of Cleveland partnership 💗🐾🐶

Goose came to us from the Laredo City Shelter. He is a young, approx 1 year old, male Shih Tzu mix. He currently weighs a smidge over 13lbs and will probably end up around 15lbs by time he’s at a healthy weight.

Goose was picked up as a stray in Laredo, Texas with a matted and very overgrown coat. Once in the shelter he was overlooked many times, and honestly we’re not sure why - it might be a version of black dog syndrome, or maybe his overgrown, matted and extremly dirty coat put people off. Or maybe he would hide at the back of his kennel. Either way, major adoption drives came and went, other rescues came and went and every time Goose was left behind. No-one came looking for him. All of that however, made him perfect for us. So, we went and scooped him up last week.

Once we got Goose home the first thing we did was to give him a bath. He was so dirty that the water ran brown off him before we’d even added shampoo. Sadly, during that first bath we discovered that Goose was infested with ticks - they were crawling all over him, lodged in his arm pits and chest and all tangled up in his matted coat. We removed as many as we could by cutting out thick mats of fur but quickly realized we needed professional help. So the next morning Goose went to see our lovely vets.

We got some Nexguard for Goose and it has really helped. Goose’s tick infestation was severe and even a week later we’ve not had a tick-free day yet. The good news is that the number of ticks we’re finding has deceased dramatically since this all began and we’re confident that we’re moving in the right direction.

While at the vet we also ran a SNAP test. That confirmed Goose’s heartworm negative status we got from the shelter, but sadly Goose tested positive for Anaplasmosis. Anaplasmosis is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks that, if left untreated, can cause low platelet counts in the blood, respiratory issues, and vomiting - all leading to dehydration. Those of you who have been with us for a while will know we’ve had to hospitalize dogs with Anaplasmosis in the past, so it can become serious. Happily, we seem to have caught this early and so a month-long course of antibiotics should clear it right up.

Provided there are no complications Goose will go back to our vet in a month to check on his progress and our hope is that he’ll be very different dog by then.

We’re going to start a fundraiser for Goose, as truth be told, our accounts were rather depleted after Mama Sweetpea’s rescue. We appreciate your support as we help this young dog back on his feet 🐾💗🐶.

Goose will be hanging out with us for 4-6 weeks while we treat his tick fever, work through his matted coat, feed him up a bit and get him house trained and socialized. On that timeline we estimate that Goose will be our last rescue of the year before the roads up north get too bad for transport.

Already Goose is proving to be a very good and friendly boy who will make a fantastic companion once he’s healthy again. But first, we’ve got to get rid of these ticks!

Make sure to follow along with us for updates on Goose and thank you all for your support, we couldn’t do this without you 💗🐾 🐶

Mama Sweetpea is HOME 🏡

And what an amazing home it is! Sweetpea is truly living a life of luxury, with multiple napping spots and an adopter who adores her. According to Sweetpea’s adopter she is settling into her new home like a champ.

We are so happy for Sweetpea! 💗

We couldn’t have completed a rescue like Sweetpea’s without an entire team of people in our community. We worked together over 6 months to ensure that this wonderful senior dog was fully recovered from what was clearly a period of rather intense neglect. We are so deeply grateful for you all.

Our first huge thank you is to Companion Pets of Cleveland, our ever wonderful rescue partner who was involved in Sweetpea’s recovery every step of the way and found her a truly amazing home to retire in. We are so grateful for your partnership.

To our incredible vet, techs and all staff at Laredo Animal Clinic DVM - thank you! Sweetpea took us on quite a journey over the last 6 months! You transformed an abandoned, tired, sick and itchy dog into one who loves every single second of life (even if she does spend most of it napping 🤣). We couldn’t do any of this without your expert advice and guidance - we sincerely appreciate you all.

To our transport team - you got Sweetpea HOME! The drivers, overnight hosts and transport monitors of Lucky Penny Transport Group are all volunteers and are the lifeline between us in Texas and CPOC in Ohio - thank you for everything you do for us and for these incredible animals who we are lucky enough to share some time with.

And to you all, our community - thank you! We haven’t totaled up the exact figures yet but we estimate Sweetpea’s rescue cost us close to $2,000 which is about half of our annual operating costs and is a huge amount of money. We are so grateful for all of your donations and support - we couldn’t do any of this without you.

Thank you all for helping Sweetpea into such an amazing home. Team work made this dream work! 🐾🐶💗

Sweetpea is in Ohio!!! 💗🚙🐾

Day Three saw Sweetpea finish her travels through Kentucky and into Ohio, finally arriving at Companion Pets of Cleveland - woohoo!

Sweetpea was clearly over it by time Day Three began - she just wanted to be held and cuddled and to stop being moved around so much - and who can blame her. Thankfully our “day three crew” were happy to rise to the occasion and provided all the love and reassurance Sweetpea needed to get through the last day of travel.

We are so grateful to our rescue drivers, overnight hosts, and our fantastic transport monitor for everything they did for Sweetpea this weekend. We so appreciate the care and love you bestow on our rescues, making sure they safely arrive with Companion Pets of Cleveland. Every member of Lucky Penny Transport Group is part of the life line between us in Texas and CPOC in Ohio - we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you!!

Stay tuned for updates on how Mama Sweetpea is settling into her forever home - we’ll post those photos soon 💗🐶🐾

Day Two of Transport 🚙💗

Day Two of transport saw Sweetpea leaving Texas after a wonderful overnight stay in Texarkana. From there she travelled clear through Arkansas, Tennessee and into Kentucky to spend the night.

Sweetpea, as expected was a little shut down at first during her Texarkana overnight stay - transport involves a lot of change and that’s especially hard on our senior rescues. Happily, Sweetpea was staying with a very experienced host who gave her the space she needed overnight to decompress and by the morning she was back up to her normal self, being engaging and social.

We are so grateful to all of our drivers and hosts for the incredible care they show towards our rescues - they always make sure our dogs have plenty of opportunity to relax (as much as is possible given all the change), and spend time outside, sniffing, drinking water and stretching their legs outside of the crate. Our drivers and hosts are the lifeline between our two rescues and we couldn’t do what we do, without them. 💗

Day three is Sweetpea’s last day of transport where she’ll arrive in Ohio with Companion Pets of Cleveland and her amazing adopter! We are so excited!!! Stay tuned for further updates! Woohoo!! 💗🐾🐶

22/09/2024

Transport Day One 🚙

Day one of transport saw Sweetpea leaving Laredo Texas, traveling through San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and up to Texarkana where she spent the night with a wonderful overnight host.

Sweetpea was clearly glad to stop moving around so much when she arrived at her overnight and while she has been friendly and sniffed around at the transfers between drivers, she was clearly unsettled and unsure of what was happening to her. Once at her overnight Sweetpea didn’t want to leave the safety of her crate. Luckily, she was in home with lots of experiencing at fostering senior dogs and so her overnight host put out food and water, left the crate door open and let Sweetpea do her own thing.

By the morning Sweetpea was out of her crate, excited to greet her overnight host and had eaten all her food. Success! 💗

The next stage of Sweetpea’s journey will see her leaving Texas and traveling through Arkansas and Tennessee before spending the night in Kentucky. Stay tuned for more updates as Sweetpea travels with the Lucky Penny Transport Group from our rescue in Laredo to our partner rescue, Companion Pets of Cleveland, in Ohio.

21/09/2024

And she’s off!!!! 🚙

Early this morning we left Laredo Texas with Mama Sweetpea and started her journey up to Ohio where her amazing adopter is eagerly awaiting her arrival.

We are so grateful to everyone who made this possible. Keep following along for updates this weekend as Sweetpea makes her way HOME 💗🐾🐶

Same dog - 6 months apart 💗

The first picture was taken at our vet clinic 6 months ago, when Sweetpea was first found: emaciated, itchy, with a 1/2 lbs mammary tumor hanging from her abdomen and unmanaged arthritis.

The second picture was taken today, 6 months later, cancer removed, spayed, skin and coat recovered, back up at a healthy weight (with a little extra to spare 😉) and experiencing the relief of regular glucosamine supplements.

Both photos taken at our vet clinic.

Today’s photo was taken after Sweetpea received the all clear from the vet and was issued with a health certificate for travel on our transport network tomorrow.

We are so excited, and as you can see, so is Sweetpea!

Thank you all for your support, we couldn’t have done this without you 💗🐾🐶

Peanut

Peanut was less than 6 months old when she was surrendered to our high-kill city shelter here in Laredo in early 2023. Unfortunately for Peanut, our shelter is full of “little brown dogs” and she quickly found herself listed for euthanasia. That’s where we stepped in and scooped her up. We worked with her for almost 3 months, getting her back up to health, fully vaccinated, and ready for transport. In May of 2023 Peanut met our amazing volunteer drivers and rode our transport network up to Ohio, where our ever wonderful rescue partner, Companion Pets of Cleveland spayed Peanut and found her the perfect forever home. Peanut’s world is now full of love, family, pajama parties and snuggles. We are so grateful to Peanut’s adopters for giving her such a wonderful life. If you’d like to support our work so we can continue to help dogs like Peanut, please consider donating today. Thank you 🐾💗🐶

Honeybee has been adopted!!! We have had the most incredible time with these two pugs. From the very first day we met them we knew we’d make space for them somehow if they needed a rescue. Found abandoned at a gas station and taken to our vet clinic by a good Samaritan, Mama Sweetpea and her adorable puppy Honeybee, embarked on a journey that lasted with us for 3 months - and in Mama’s case is still going. We are so grateful to everyone involved in Honeybee’s rescue. Firstly to the amazing person who found these two and not only took them to our vet clinic, but paid for their initial checks and vaccines and fostered them for 3 weeks while we completed Arlo’s rescue - thank you!! To Companion Pets of Cleveland, our amazing partner rescue, who supported us when we said “hey, want to do back to back rescues? Oh and this time it’s two dogs and they have fairly substantial medical concerns?”. They jumped in with both feet, walking with us step by step the whole way and ultimately finding this perfect home for Honeybee. We are so grateful for your partnership and your friendship. To our amazing vet, the techs and front of office staff at Laredo Animal Clinic DVM - we are so grateful for everything you did for Honeybee, firmly setting her on the path to this amazing home. Thank you all! To everyone at Lucky Penny Transport Group - our transport monitor, overnight hosts and drivers - you’re incredible and we do deeply appreciate you. Thank you for getting Honeybee HOME! And to our Day Three Crew, while we’re sad you didn’t get to meet Honey, we cherish all of your support from the sidelines as Honey made her way home. And to you, our wonderful community - thank you! Honeybee and Mama Sweetpea’s rescue have drained our rescue accounts but you’ve been there every step of the way to support us, and keep us going. We couldn’t do this without you. Honeybee is in an amazing home with substantial pug experience and even has pug siblings to play with

Honeybee is on her way! Today is the day! In the early hours of this morning, Honeybee started her transport onto the next stage of her life. She was, as ever, a bundle of happiness - doing everything she could to lick our faces when we left Laredo. 🤣Our journey with Honeybee has been wonderful and we are incredibly grateful to you all for supporting our rescue so we could help Honey. We’ll keep you updated as Honeybee rides our volunteer transport network this weekend 💗🐾🐶

Happy Mother’s Day from Mama Sweetpea to all the Mothers out there. We hope you’re having a wonderful day 💗🐾🐶

What a transformation! Thank you all for your support of our rescue, which allows us to take on dogs like Honeybee and give them the time end medical care they need to get back to health. We are so grateful 💗

We’re running low on wet and dry dog food, pill pockets, and dog biscuits. Can you help? Mama Sweetpea and Honey eat Hills Science Sensitive Stomach and Skin food.

We use pill pockets to give them their meds. Between her antifungal treatment and post-surgery meds, Mama is currently on 4 different medications. Honey is on one medication, her antifungals. We also use dog biscuits to give them treats because they’re very good girls and deserve all the treats in the world. 💗Chewy makes it super easy to donate to us.

Today’s the day! Earlier this morning we dropped little miss Sweetpea off at the vet clinic for her mass removal. If she does well, and the mass removal is uncomplicated, then our vet will also spay her at the same time. Happily, Honey hasn’t skipped a beat being away from Mama Sweetpea today, and we had our best training session yet where she sat not just once but twice!! We got it on video and wanted to share it with you all.

Today’s the day! Earlier this morning we dropped little miss Sweetpea off at the vet clinic for her mass removal. If she does well, and the mass removal is uncomplicated, then our vet will also spay her at the same time. Happily, Honey hasn’t skipped a beat being away from Mama Sweetpea today, and we had our best training session yet where she sat not just once but twice!! We got it on video and wanted to share it with you all. So far, we’ve raised $600 towards the cost of Mama’s surgery and we are so grateful to you - thank you so much for your support 💗 We’ll be sure to keep you updated on Mama’s progress 🐶💗🐾

Day Two

Day two of transport saw Arlo leave Texas and travel through Arkansas, Tennessee and into Kentucky where he spent the night. Arlo did better on day two and was more alert and interested in his surroundings. Even so, he refused to leave the safety of his crate during the transfers between drivers when we normally let the dogs out for a sniff and a walk and potty breaks. Our drivers are wonderful and experienced and met Arlo where he was: they always offered for him to stretch his legs but they never forced him. Once at his overnight stay Arlo settled in, ate dinner and even made a new friend (or two). Day one is usually the hardest day for our rescue dogs - the change is so abrupt and significant, but by day two they’ve started to get into the swing of things, as we can see with Arlo. On day three Arlo will leave Kentucky and travel into Ohio, arriving at the offices of our wonderful partner Companion Pets of Cleveland. Stay tuned for the last day of Arlo’s journey from Laredo Texas to Cleveland Ohio.
