Catching up on posts. RESCUE RIDE for 7. There was nothing even slightly entertaining about this transport. The dogs were terrified. They were just surrendered still collars & tags on them which is never a thing by the time I get them. They wernt small dogs either so patience & high caution when handling them. Not many pictures cause I just needed to be focused. I went through 5 slip leads with 1 dog cause she would bite through it in fear. At all times 2/3 on her. They wernt trying to be mean but a scared dog will do whatever they need to do at times. All were finally loaded & they were absolutely silent for the ride. They were owner surrenders brought straight to the shelter…12 in all. Their collars & tags were filthy but one thing I noticed was a charm on them. St Francis patron Saint of animals. I’m Catholic so it meant something to me. These dogs were loved. They may not have been in the best environment, but we never know somebody’s situation and how their life changed to cause this. We are not here to judge. I did ask more about them from an ACO and the situation itself is just sad. I will not repeat. I already have St Francis charms hanging in my van & these will join them. Prayers sent for these babies. They will need time to decompress & feel safe . Live happy lives 🩵
