Rescues Go Above and Beyond..

.. I belong to a group of Cross Boarder Dog Rescuers.. Which I am so proud of as well in awe of.. They week after week help save dogs from terrible conditions.. beit kill pounds/raids/hurricane victims you name it.. and folks here in Canada step up as well to try to help these dogs.. Just one example that shows just how hard some folks try.. Here is a deaf Catahoula coming to Canada.. with God's Grace & allot of volunteers help..This is a typical one..


We are requesting assistance to transport INDY, a handsome and sweet DEAF altered male Catahoula, from foster care with Catahoula Rescue Inc in Fort Worth, TX to his well screened adoptive home in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, on Friday to Sunday, October 3rd to 5th, 2008. We are trying to add a second dog, MOMMA, a female Catahoula who needs to get from Texas to CRI foster care in Pennsylvania ... details to come if she can make it.

INDY must get to Little Rock AR on Friday, and to Columbus OH on Saturday, so he can meet up with a run coordinated by Lucy Moye that will bring him into Ontario.
