16 Legs Go to Colorado
My friend Stacey and I drove Sadie and Sasha and another great dog named Pooch to Longmont Humane Society in Colorado where they have the resources and experiecne (and big hearts) to teach our former foster girls and Pooch how to be great dogs. We will miss them terribly, but it was a great trip! Three dogs plus two people have 16 legs, and they all fit in my husband's Honda Element!
The dogs were great travellers - we could have gone another 3,500 miles easily....
Pooch at Mile 0

Me and all the dogs on the first night, around midnight...
Second night, same time...
Mission accomplished!

News about Sadie and Sasha
Hello dog lovers,
I've got some sad news and some happy news. Sadie and Sasha's new home didn't work out - that is the sad news, obviously. They are back at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA, but not for long. The happy news is that they have been accepted into a wonderful training program at The Longmont Humane Society in Longmont, Colorado. They have learned about love, now they have to learn about fitting into society. The folks there have the talent and resources to make that happen and we are excited to be working with them.
Sadie and Sasha will be making the trip with Pooch. Pooch is a beautiful young male brown and white pit bull. He knows a few commands and is very friendly. He just has too much energy for a kennel environment, but he gets along well with other dogs and people.
I've been trying to get corporate support to help with the costs of travel and/or so we can fly them to Colorado. But it looks like I will be driving them next week. Wish me (and more importantly, the dogs!) luck.
