.. I belong to a group of individuals that do rescue transport to TRY to get dogs to their forever homes all over Canada and the USA.. called Cross Boarder Dog Rescue.. We know not everyone out there can have volumes of dogs but through word of mouth new drivers sign up to help do legs of a transport.. Often the legs are 60 miles.. its not a huge commitment really but in the life of that " Dog " it means the difference often between life and death .. as many are rescued from kill shelters or pounds that are overwhelmed with dogs.. Each rescue has a story.. many heartbreaking.. Yes it goes on everywhere.. puppy mills are raided.. animal hoarders are turned in by neighbors.. then there are just regular folks that have to choose between food on their table or food for the dog/dogs.. often the choice is simple for them.. The Pound.. or abandoned by the side of the road.. Or then again just last sunday I was called up to Saint Sauveur to get a basset pup 3-4 months old abandoned .. no rhyme or reason.. just left to fend for himself.. How long could he have lasted.. no telling but I'm sure not long..
.. So if anyone reading this has a bit of time to help transport a dog.. please think about signing up.. at http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/CBDR/
This group helps rescues on both sides of the border move dogs freely from shelters, humane societies, animal controls and rescue groups to forever home, foster homes and other rescues. Notices are posted about dogs in need, urgent situations and plea's for help. Transport help and home visits can also be requested on list. As with all groups, respect and courtesy of others is expected.
If you have any questions on this group, feel free to write to CBDR-owner@yahoogroups.com for details ..
I Thank You.. For Those That Cannot Speak..
