After a 12+ hour drive, under the moonlight and glaring parking lot lights, two drivers emerged from an SUV, slightly smelly, and hopped up off of coffee and road snacks, with precious cargo in the back….11 doxies who needed a safe place to land.  The dogs had all been so good on the long ride, barely made a peep the entire time (aside from singing the song of their people to others at gas stops), and were welcomed by members of our team who gave of their time and love, in the late hours of the night to welcome them.

There were each pulled from their crates gently, to be snuggled for a moment and told how good they were, before getting a quick look at for any visible medical issues, posed briefly for some photos, and were then tucked into clean kennels, already prepped for each of them, with blankets, fresh water, and food.  It had been a long day, with lots of new sights and smells, and everyone quickly settled down to get some sleep.

Over the next couple days, Dr. Bruce’s Animal Hospital and Pet Medical Center Boca fit all these sweet souls into their already busy schedules for full workups – exams, vaccinations, spay/neuters, dentals, and anything else they needed to get a clean bill of health to start their rescue journey.

These 11 are safe with us now, but we are on the hook for intake expenses, approximately $500 per dog (for vetting, supplies, etc). We are back again, on bended knee, to ask your support, in a donation of any size, to help us re-fill our war chest so that we can be ready for the next group of dogs who needs us.  As always, our miracles are funded $1 at a time and all it takes is literally $1 to join the hardest working, biggest loving team in rescue. 

Also – one quick public service announcement- Since we don’t know what these dogs need medically or what their personalities are, we are not taking applications at this time.  We are putting all our resources into getting them settled and vetted!  Thank you!
