More dogs come from Puerto Rico!
Today I got a wonderful, tail-wagging, face-licking present at the Miami Airport of six bouncing baby dogs! Alana, the beautiful dalmation, was taken to Pati with the Miami Dalmation Rescue group to be fostered until she can find a forever home. I hadn't met Alana before but she is a beautiful, sweet, petite dalmation with a heart of gold. I was sad to see her go but know she's on her way to a better life. Pictures below are of Alana with Pati and with me.
Elsa, Scooby, Xena, and Frances all went to the Treasure Coast Humane Society in Palm City, Florida. I took a couple of pictures but, well, I guess I have other talents, photography not being one of them (the only good pic is of Alana below so I copied the others from the TCHS website)! I had met Xena before when we were there last month to TNR some of the girls. She is such a little sweetie! She curled up on the passenger seat and rested all the way to the shelter. Elsa, the little beauty, gave me a near heart attack when she escaped from my arms and went tearing around the loading dock at the airport, nearly missing forklifts and steel-toed boots! We finally rounded her up and got her settled back in. I will say that her new family will DEFINITELY have a ball-chaser to play with! Oh and that Scooby - what a charmer! He laid his head on my leg the whole two-hour trip! Frances, a beautiful girl from Salinas (Mary had her ready to go so she put her in with the Dead Dog Beach dogs) just stole my heart. The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and so gentle and shy.
Miss Betsy, the little girl who had such a horrible skin condition just a month ago we thought she'd need vet care for a long time, looked GORGEOUS!!! Dr. Rivera in San Juan did a fantastic job with her. She went to the Vero Beach Humane Society. She needs a few more days to clear up some of her mange spots but will be ready to go soon. And she will be a fantastic addition to any home. She's got lots of energy and lots of love. And she's smart, too! She learned how to open the half-door at the receiving area at the shelter - I guess she wanted to come home with me!
It was really hard to leave them all - it's hard to believe one can get so attached to those little guys when they're only in your life for a few short hours. But knowing their stories and the hardships they've been through seems to bond us with them so we feel close to them before we even meet them. At 4:00 this morning I was wondering what the heck I was doing driving all the way to Miami to pick up just six dogs. At 4:00 p.m. when I finally arrived home, exhausted and hungry, I realized why and it was all worth it.
