Magpie Goes on Transport to Florida!

It’s Magpie from Natalie Reeves! Natalie’s original email states:

Gisele, here’s Magpie:
28.5 lbs
She is a small
confident
friendly
“busy”
curious
whispy long tail (not an aussie tail)
whisps on legs and earsestimated 3-4 years old
has had a litter in the past
not yet spayed
low hw +

Let me know your thoughts. Jackie can cover getting her treated slow kill method if you want her treated here before she would come. She has the ivermec at home and can do slow kill under the supervision of the vet she works for.

Christina Skrobak puts Magpie on a scheduled transport for 08/21/10, and here’s what it looks like! So this weekend, Magpie will be on her way to us, along with a few new friends! All email addresses and phone numbers were removed from this run sheet.

Border Collies & MORE Express….! Four very lucky Border Collies/mixes and ‘MORE’ (Hound puppy, Lab & 3 Basset puppies) have been accepted into FL rescues from kill shelters in central AL. They’ve been fortunate so far, in getting a reprieve for their life, now they just need the last step to star their new lives…a ride! Just a little help from you all will complete this wonderful rescue story!

If you can help, please contact Christina Skrobak at my email address. If you can’t help, personally, PLEASE crosspost to anyone you know in the areas of transport or that you’ve met along the way in prior transports.

***** PLEASE CROSSPOST *****

I wanted to share this with you so that you can see for yourself, just how many people are involved with saving just one dog!

Fortunately for everyone, just as the transport legs were being filled, Leonard stepped and volunteered to do the entire run! Yes, Leonard! God bless him! So this is a quick look at the behind the scenes of what was originally modeled by OTRA, a volunteer organization, which stands for On The Road Again! Great work everyone. Now maybe you can understand why volunteer transporters and fosters are so very important to all rescues.

Can’t wait to meet you and your friends Magpie!
