Our run to the Northeast is complete. This trip our new driver Brady Birge was on board with Lenny. I am still not able to travel I am healing from my fall but it is slow. Thank for photoshoping me into the picture Melanie and Brittany.
We had 36 pups this trip. Thank you to Fort Worth Animal Care & Control and From Texas With Love for trusting us to deliver your pups. The pups are now safely out of Texas onto their new lives. Thank you to all the receiving rescues.
UPDATE: Since people have requested we posted our QR codes for PayPal, Venmo Zelle and CashApp
As some of you may have seen on a post from Oregon Dog Rescue Karen fell at one of our last drops. She was taken to the emergency room by ambulance. The fall resulted in her left wrist being broken in two places with a dislocation, her right knee at the tibia plateau is broken, her right elbow where she landed with the majority of her weight is broken with pieces of bone floating around, and a contusion on her right eyebrow area. Both her wrist and elbow will require surgery. We want to thank Sarah and Greg at Seattle Humanefor helping organize getting the rest of the animals delivered. Thank you to Greg for taking Lenny to the hospital and finding a hotel for them both to stay in while Karen was being admitted and checked out. Thank you to Kim at Oregon Dog Rescuefor making a post about Karen's fall and attaching it to a fundraiser.
We made our first run of the year to the Pacific Northwest. It was the maiden journey of our second bus. On board we had 73 dogs and one cat; she traveled very well. We had five litters of puppies that made up twenty-eight of the passengers. Five of our passengers were direct adopts. We encountered snow on and off starting in Colorado all the way to Oregon; the worst of it in southern Utah.
Our 1st full year in business is complete. We transported 1,008 dogs, drove 107,223.6 miles, and traveled through 32 states. We were able to deliver hundreds of pounds of food to the Fort Worth Animal Care & Control from .

They work so hard to get dogs out of Texas for a chance at not only a better life, but a chance at life for which they would not have here in most cases.

Long shot here I know. We have a shop we rent in Bowie. The overhead door messed up last night. Is there anyone one here that works on them and would be willing to come fix this today?
Hard at work.
We are loaded with 50 Lucky pups heading to the Northeast. Here are a few pictures.
This is what it looks like when you have 43 kennels to clean. The pails and food bowls get cleaned and power washed like the kennels with Rescue. Then they go through the dishwasher as well. The floor also comes up it will be cleaned with Rescue and power washed. This is a 6 to 8 hour process. We do it every trip.
We are in Chula Vista waiting to load 43 dogs this morning. Then off to Oregon Dog Rescue.
All of these dogs rode on our bus. All but Vella arrived this Monday 12-4-23.
We are the Oregon part. All these pups left the Ft. Worth Animal Care Centers.
