ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL RESCUE MISSION!

At the wee hours of the morning this past Sunday (3:30 am to be exact), 6 fur-babies headed North to start their journey to "rescue" (1 got off in St. Louis; 1 picked up in St. Louis; and the rest headed on to Wisconsin). My wonderful sister Kelly drove all the way from St. Louis to pick these guys/girls up so that I wouldn't have to meet her so early (how great is that!). Thank you...WE OWE YOU KELLY!!! Another doggy angel, Linda, actually drove all the way from Wisconsin (over 8 hours) to save these babies- you are awesome Linda (WE LOVE YOU- THANK YOU!).

Muffin (on the right of the picture below) was one of the lucky fur-babies who got to "bunk" at Auntie Allie's and Uncle Kevin's for the night. Since my sis was leaving at 3:30 in the am, we had a sleepover! Muffin felt that she should be part of the family and wasn't having any part of the crate- lol. Normally, I would not let her "win" with her whining, but it was very very early in the am and I didn't want to wake up our 2-legged guest!
Kelly couldn't help by give Muffin a taste of her pizza crust (which she LOVED of course).
2 more precious little Shih Tzus, Frankie and Junior, spent the night Friday and Saturday and were on their best behavior. Junior went to a new foster home in St. Louis (thank you Jen and Alex!) and Frankie continued on to Wisconsin! Junior is still available for adoption :) As you can see, we had to send their beloved tennis balls (these boys are obsessed with them!). These were the Shih Tzus that were abandoned in an apartment several months ago.

Rascal was picked up in St. Louis! He has an adoption pending already!

Our sweet foster gal, Olivia, is on her way to a new life in Wisconsin too! We really enjoyed fostering this cutie pie, but have to admit that puppies are tough after a while! She will make a great family dog!
She is one smart little girl!

Georgie is the little guy that came from the Forrest City Animal Shelter where his doggy angel, Donna, saved his life just in the nick of time by "pulling" him from the shelter and paying his boarding until his rescue and transport could be arranged. Thanks to the Forrest City Area Humane Society members for helping to get him to safety too!
Izzie is another lucky pup from Forrest City, AR. She was fostered by my friend Julie in Memphis (thank you again- tell Glenn and the kiddos thanks too!). She is the sweetest little thing and will find a great home up north...the home that she always deserved!
