Recent arrivals

These guys are all recent arrivals in Florida. Twenty-three of the dogs and the four kittens all went to the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast in Palm City Florida for adoption. The first little guy up there, Diego, was too shy to leave at the shelter and was adopted out individually. The first seven dogs arrived in early December and all have been adopted out. The remaining 16 and the kittens arrived two days ago and are all in holding but should go up for adoption soon. Only one of the total 28 was a Dead Dog Beach rescue, the remaining were rescued by other island rescuers Dellymar, Gina, Mary, and Nilsa. Little Sacha (in the second picture) was rescued from the beach by Will (Inky Blue Sea Animal Rescue) and fostered by Dorene.

Oh, and I forgot to send a big-time "shout out" to my friend Pati from Miami Dalmatian Rescue. She was kind enough to meet me at the airport in Miami to help me with getting the puppies ready for the trip up to Palm City. That entails bringing an extra kennel to take a kennel full of puppies out and giving them food and water while we clean out the old kennel they traveled in - um, can you say "barf and poop"? - we put new newspaper and fresh water in that one then pop the pups back in and on to the next kennel. It takes a lot of time and does some serious damage to me with my herniated disks so having Pati there was a godsend! Pati has also taken in about 10 Puerto Rican dalmatians in the past so she is an angel in many many ways!
