Animal Rescue Transport

This past Sunday we participated in an Animal Rescue Transport. About a hundred animals were rescued from a Carolina shelter and needed to be transported to upstate New York. The journey was divided into hour long segments with several people volunteering to drive each leg.

We picked up a carload in Baltimore and drove them to Newark, DE where they were handed off to be driven to PA.

In our car we had a crate of 5 kittens, one cat, one dachshund, and one chow-lab mix pup. This was for a great cause, saving the lives of so many animals and was such a wonderful experience. Everything was incredibly well organized and so well executed we couldn't help but be impressed.

We can't wait to do it again! Please keep an eye on this blog if you'd like to get involved. These wonderful people do transports frequently and are always in need of drivers.

**ADOPTED** Patty - Female - Black Lab Mix - Born Feb' 2010 (CIHAH#10.0501)

**UPDATED PICS**

Patty Has been reunited with her long lost brother/littermate! The family that adopted him has also taken Patty! Here are some pics of her and her brother.

Peppermint Patty is a baby Lab mix just rescued from a WV kill shelter just in the nick of time. Her and her sister and 2 brothers were lucky and have foster parents around Baltimore taking good care of them.

She is a sweetheart, likes to play in the grass and enjoys laying on the front stoop sunbathing with her sister. She will become an Alpha dog if entered into a house with any subservient dogs.

We have exposed her to cats, children and other dogs; all with great success. If she is with her sister however, she will bark harmlessly at passing by dogs.

She is also food shy and will make noise if another dog other than her sister eats with her. We are trying to break her of this habit, but it seems she has always had to fight for her meals.

She is crate trained already, and is working on walking with a leash and harness. She will whimper when she has to go out if in her crate, but starts sniffing around if allowed to run free in the house. With that said, I cannot say shes housebroken yet.

She enjoys chewing on toys, but already understands the words No and Leave It. We are also teaching her sign language along with her commands, in case she ends up with an owner that is deaf or disabled.

**ADOPTED** Snickers - Female - Brown Lab Mix - Born Feb' 2010 (CIHAH#10.0502)

**UPDATED!** SNICKERS, NOW NAMED JUDE LOVES WATER AND HER NEW FAMILY!**

Snickers is a baby Lab mix just rescued from a WV kill shelter just in the nick of time. Her and her sister and 2 brothers were lucky and have foster parents around Baltimore taking good care of them.

She is a heartbreaker, loves to snuggle, cuddle and just be held. She also enjoys laying on the front stoop sunbathing with her sister. She is very subservient towards her sister and other dogs and will go great if you have a dog that is an alpha.

We have exposed her to cats, children and other dogs; all with great success. If she is with her sister however, she will bark harmlessly at passing by dogs.

She is crate-trained already, and is working on walking with a leash and harness. She will whimper when she has to go out if in her crate, but starts sniffing around if allowed to run free in the house. With that said, I cannot say shes housebroken yet, but she is very close.

She enjoys chewing on toys, but already understands the words "No" and "Leave It", although she will give you a mild guilt trip with those sad brown eyes when told "No". We are also teaching her sign language along with her commands, in case she ends up with an owner that is deaf or disabled.

This girl is a cuddler. She really likes to sit on the couch with you and enjoy a good pet. Both pups are really mellow dogs, not the typical puppy-hyper you'd expect. She's also incredibly gentle and loving.
