Three Down, One To Go - January 13-14, 2012

On Friday I received a request to transport 3 pitties from the Lancaster shelter to Katella Animal Hospital in Anaheim. Well I raced out to the shelter and as usual not everything went according plan. Two of the pitties needed waivers signed and they would not release them. So I pulled Wilbur and took him to the Katella Animal Hospital and didn’t know what was to be done about the others. I was told by Michele that I would need to go back on Saturday and get the other two. In the meantime, it was requested that I go ahead and pull Peanut (English bulldog) while I was there. He would be going to Katella Animal Hospital also. Ok, we can do that. I went back on Saturday and tried to pull both pitties and managed to get one, who was a bait dog and was very skittish and unsure of himself. Well I loaded both Iffy and Peanut up and off we went for another trip to Katella Animal Hospital. Remember these trips are 280 miles each, so they are an all day event. So now we have 3 out of 4 and looks like I will be heading back Monday or Tuesday for the 4th dog. If there had been just a little bit of care at the shelter, two of these trips could have been avoided.

You can’t keep your pet? Really?
By: A Shelter Director

"I think our society needs a huge “Wake-up” call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all…a view from the inside if you will. First off, all of you people who have ever surrendered a pet to a shelter or humane society should be made to work in the “back” of an animal shelter for just one day. Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would stop flagging the ads on craigslist and help these animals find homes. That puppy you just bought will most likely end up in my shelter when it’s not a cute little puppy anymore. Just so you know there’s a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it’s dumped at! Purebred or not!..." Read the full post on CauseForPawsUtah.org
