MARY JANE

Mary Jane is a pure bred pitbull abandoned at my vet’s office. She came into the vet’s office with a huge gash around her neck – she was bitten by another pit bull. The people don’t want to pay the bill, so she is now the vet’s dog. She is healed and ready for a new home, is about 8 months old, really really sweet. She is spayed – I just need to get her shots and hw test her before she goes to her new home or rescue.

This is an exceptionally sweet dog. I have tested her around cats – she’s fine – I have had her at my husband’s tire store and she loves children and everybody. She greets everybody that comes in – Everybody that has meet her has fallen in love with her. When we get her out she runs and runs and runs. Full of energy. She is housebroken.

I am trying to get her out of the clinic and run at my house when I can and she loves it – she’s fine with other dogs – just looking for someone to love and play with her. She has a yellow gorilla that she carries everywhere and plays with constantly.

She is a great ambassador for pit bulls.

FILLED!! 10/31-11/1: Dale City VA – Minneapolis MN

Belle of the Road

Dale City, VA
to
Minneapolis, MN
October 31 – November 1, 2009

Belle is an adorable, sweet 6 month old boxer girl whose mother is having serious health problems. She’s decided it’s in the best interest of Belle to find a new home so MN Boxer Rescue has agreed to take her in and help her find that perfect forever home.

We have a personal stake in this transport, as Belle’s grandma is on the board of MNBR, so we feel like we’re moving one of our own children. Please help this angel get there!

UPDATE:  We are taking a lot of dogs out of Indianapolis Animal Care & Control this weekend as well. These dogs will have to ride separately from Belle as they are coming straight from the shelter. So legs from Indy north will definitely need more than one driver, and given the number of dogs we’re taking, most likely we’ll need 2 or 3 drivers for the Indy dogs.

Please, please, please – I need crossposting help from EVERYONE!!

About the sender: Former Dogs Deserve Better Rep.

PASSENGER:

Handsome Comet

Handsome Comet

Name: Comet
Breed: Boxer
Sex: M
Age: 20 months
Weight/Size: 45#
Is dog intact or altered? Neutered
On what date did the dog last receive vax for:
–bordetella? 08/21/09
–DH2LPP? 05/14/09
–rabies?02/13/09
He’s a sweet boy who wants to be loved. He bonds quickly with his care giver, and is very loyal.

Per his Petfinder page:
“Comet is a purebred Boxer, 19 months old, very loving, friendly and playful dog. Comet bonds quickly to his caretaker and will make an awesome companion. For this reason we feel he would be best as the only dog. Comet came to us in Spring and was a very sick pup. He had been neglected and left for days to fend for himself with no food. Since we were so concerned about is health and getting him well we didn’t have a lot of time to work with him, he is learning the basics now. Comet will need a firm handler to help him with more obedience training. We require a home that has experience with his breed.”

As some of you know, my hard drive died the night of October 2nd and I have been on a brief unplanned hiatus since then. But I’ve got dogs waiting to move, so even though I’ve lost all of the details about my contacts and all of my routing templates, I’ve got to try to get this transport through this weekend. Other coordinators have been absolute saints in picking up my slack since the 2nd but I need to move these dogs myself so let’s see if we can’t get this show back on the road!!
