Together Let's Save A Life
While we stopped documenting the stories of our transports in 2016, we continue to work directly with rescue organizations in getting animals out of high-kill shelters.
Rescue Me helps people adopt animals from individuals, families, shelters and rescue groups.
We’ve pulled or transported over 3500 animals since 2012 in support of our rescue partners. Scroll down to read the stories behind transports from 2010 – 2016.
After waiting in the hot sun at a shelter in the desert area, I finally was able to pull Lila from the shelter and get her on her way to the beginnings of her new life. As she was listed as “rescue only” by the shelter, I still had to wait for the magical noon hour to arrive, in case anyone wanted to adopt a dog that they were not able to adopt in the first place, according to the shelters own rules. Never ceases to amaze me how county workers can so blindly enforce rules that defy logic. And they can’t seem to figure out what is wrong. Duh. Moving on as they say, Lila was delivered to a wonderful foster and she even has a potential adopter waiting her when she finishes her medical visits and has been spayed. Not long now she will begin her journey that we all hope will last a life time.
Today I picked up Lexis from a vet office that was not much help when it came to picking up the for rescues. Out they walked with the paperwork, “here you go”, hands you the leash, bye bye is all they will say. Ever try to take pictures of a 4-5 month old puppy, wearing a cone (just got fixed)? Not easy let me tell you. Yes I managed a few head shots but couldn’t back up far enough to get any of the body shots (leash too short). Well he does have four legs, a tail and looks pretty normal to me. I guess the rescue will have to take my word on that detail that the rest of him will follow the head to where he is going. Yep, this vet office staff were real winners. I wonder what else they do in their spare time.
