The other state coordinator and I will be meeting transport late tonight. Then I will overnight 5 of the 7. Saturday morning will be meeting a foster parent and another foster parent who is providing transport to eastern Washington where 2 pups will be fostered.
Below is Jack, he's stunning! Jack and his sister were repeat visitors at the shelter thanks to regularly escaping the back yard where they spent most of their time. This last time no one came to claim them when they were called. They sat in the shelter for quite awhile and finally reached the "last call" list. Several rescue groups worked together to get the dynamic duo out of the shelter and transported to a temp foster spot in Fresno. In that temp foster home it was discovered that this purebred Rat Terrier pair weren't serial escape offenders - they were just super smart and bored with their life in a back yard. They proved to be delightful, confident, friendly dogs who are great with kids, people and other dogs. Jack's sister, is still hanging out with our New Rattitude temp foster parent until we have another spot open. She was going to come to us for fostering but, we had to squeeze all the puppies in at one time so sadly the pretty girl was bumped. We hope there will be a foster spot for her in the northwest sooner rather than later.
And the other six... are all puppies. I'm personally not all that fond of fostering puppies. To much work in my opinion. I'd take an adult dog any day of the week but, when looking at the whole picture of these puppies it was worth the extra work on our end. To read more here's the whole puppy story
