My husband and I have volunteered to be the first leg transport for a burned victim pittbull. We have to pick her up in the morning and drive her about an hour to the next leg, she is going from SC to MA to her new home! I am excited about being able to help out:Laugh:

Her name is Phoenix, and she has been being treated for severe burns. The adoptive mom in MA has experience rehabbing burned dogs and first offered to foster Phoenix, but after several emails and phone calls with shelter staff opted instead for adoption, all paperwork is done, now she just needs a ride to her forever home. Our leg of it is the only one that wasn't covered, it's only about an hour's drive. I couldn't see two hours of my time preventing this girl from getting to a permanent loving home. It's really minimal effort on my part and huge rewards for the dog Gadzukz, Apr 27, 2010 #14 susi794Moderator Staff MemberJoined:Aug 23, 2009Messages:13,352Likes Received:12,430Location: Belding, MichiganSphynx Bucks: $46,138.92Ratings:+12,611 My cats and I want to say that you are our hero!

We reached our meeting place at the appointed time (11:30) then at 1:00 we got a call saying the time had been changed to 4:00 We couldn't stay as we had to get our kids from school. Luckily we worked with the shelter and found a vet clinic nearby willing to hold her until her transport arrived Here are some pics I took of the little angel!
