I went all the way up to Santa Maria to transport these guys to a vet clinic in Westlake for a rescue that was the only one to step up for these guys. While not highly socialized, and without any training at all, these guys were just farm dogs prior to being turned in to the shelter, for what reason I can only guess. It couldn’t have been the cost of upkeep, as they appear to never have had a bath, one had a skin condition that was never treated and one looked a little thin for a lab his size. But the rescue is willing to do what is necessary to get this guys on the adoption path to a loving home as soon as possible. It will take awhile, but it will be done, if I know this rescue.

I went to the San Bernardino shelter to pull one dog who, come to find out, had already been adopted. Well, I didn’t want to leave empty-handed. So, after talking with the rescue, we decided to pull others while I was there. But the dilemma was who to pull. First I checked the kill list to see who was most at risk and the black chi mix was literally going down in a few minutes. That was an obvious choice. Then I looked at fluffies that were similar to the one I had been originally sent for. I chose the white bichon mix, he had that look under a very matted coat. Then I saw the little terriers, they looked so sad and I didn’t want to break them up as they were kenneled together, so that made four. I pulled them and off we went to a boarding facility to get them ready for their trip up north, where I’m sure they will find furever homes in no time.
