So today I did my first....

...Rescue dog transport! This handsome boy Charlie needed a ride from his Rottie rescue group in Woodstock, GA up to Pennsylvania to his new foster home. There was a leg going from Spartanburg, SC up to Charlotte, NC, which I'm kind of in the middle of both, so I signed up to do it. Been wanting to do one for awhile but there either weren't any running through my area on the days I could do them, or somebody else got to them first. So today my good friend Scott (who's also a dog/animal lover as I am) and I drove down to Spartanburg and picked him up from the previous drivers, and drove him up to Charlotte where we met up with the next driver who would continue him on his journey NE. Not gonna lie I kinda hated to have to hand him over to the next driver, I really liked the little guy! Awesome personality.... you couldn't NOT like him, lol. Plus he was a total angel in the car. But I'm just glad he's going to a better place

 

Of course I had to snap a few pics.... not great since he didn't exactly want to stand still too much, lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

He's staying the night in Newport, Virginia tonight, then continuing the rest of his journey tomorrow..... this was him when he got to his overnight spot. I guess he was wore out from all the car rides and new people, LOL. He was such a goof

 

 

 

Anyways.... that was my fun for the day, lol. It may not sound like much, but I really enjoyed it.... all for a good cause, so it's worth it

You know, right up until that last picture, I was thinking, "Awwww, SO cute!" Then I just had to laugh at the last pic, he looked SO relaxed, just in need of a good beer & hearth Nice to be part of a network doing good deeds, hope Charlie is lucky enough to have a home like the one Rocket got!

This is awesome! Earned some morality points from karma and had a great time with such an adorable pup.

I just saw a coated Rottie recently and my wife LOVED it. He just looked like he was having fun on the whole trip.

That's very cool, and he looks like a sweet heart. The shelter my son and I volunteer at is having problems with their heaters, so we ended up taking home one of the little dogs, until the weather gets warmer. She's a Rat terrier mix. and a heck of a good dog. I was a little worried that the wife was going to get attached to her, until she jumped on the counter at Thanksgiving and started eating the turkey. The expereinces I've had with most of the shelter dogs is that they are all really great around people and most other dogs ( probabaly from being handled so much).
