HOLIDAY EXPRESS!!

San Diego, CA to Minneapolis, MN
December 4 -5 and 18, 2010

UPDATE:  Week 2 had to be postponed due to weather conditions in IA and MN.  We are now trying to fill week 2 for December 18th…

HughBear and Linus were pulled from the Pasadena Humane Society. Hugh has been with me for over 2 months now and has made GREAT improvements in his medical condition and his personality. He is now ready to go to MNBR to find his furever home!

Linus has only been with me for about a month but he is a cutie patootie! He is very much a puppy but he is also deaf so he requires a special rescue to find him a special home. He’s going to Wags & Whiskers to find his new family.

This is my last transport for 2010 – let’s send the year out on a high note and get these kids through safe & sound!

CROSSPOSTING GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

SENDER:

Puggles & Pitties
San Diego, CA

http://pugglesnpitties.org

RECEIVER (HughBear):

Minnesota Boxer Rescue
Woodbury MN
www.mnboxerrescue.org

About HughBear:

HughBear is 3-5 years old and about 75 lbs. He is being treated for a non-contagious skin infection so will be accompanied by his medication, along with instructions for administering it. He HATES taking meds, so you’ll need to just open his mouth and stick your hand all the way to the back of his throat to drop in the pill. Hugh is becoming more and more playful and inquisitive as he’s feeling better. He likes his crate but he doesn’t understand the idea of not pottying in the crate, so if you crate him, expect to have to clean the crate daily. Very playful and affectionate guy.

RECEIVER (LINUS):

Wags & Whiskers
Minneapolis, MN

http://www.wagsmn.com

About Linus:

Linus is approx 12 weeks old. Very playful, a little rough with those puppy teeth. MUCH like Poppy if you were part of her transport. Linus is DEAF, so can not be called. I’ve been working with him on having him look at his handler or person, so he should check in with you regularly to see what he’s supposed to be doing. Will be sending a crate for Linus just in case Hugh gets tired of the puppy antics during the trip.
