WEBVTT 00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:15.720 Welcome to Ruff Life. Um, it is currently a 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.079 little after 5 a .m. Mississippi time, which 00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:24.379 is 6 a .m. y 'all's time. The van is already 00:00:24.379 --> 00:00:27.780 at the Wolf Trap headquarters and they've already 00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:33.219 started intake. So this is so, so, so, so much 00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:38.119 later than I ever record the podcast. However, 00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.850 my toddler wanted me to rock her to sleep tonight 00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:44.750 instead of her dad, which is very out of the 00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:48.130 norm for us. I am the bedtime book reader and 00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:53.369 he is the bedtime rocker. Anyways, I passed smooth 00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:57.210 out in that rocking chair with her. I woke up 00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:01.700 at 3 30 completely unaware of where I was, who 00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:06.239 I was, what day it was. I did snap back into 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.459 reality when I realized I still hadn't finished 00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:13.359 my transport documentation for like work or this 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.819 podcast, which I just do for fun. So I dumped 00:01:16.819 --> 00:01:19.599 her in the crib and got back to work. But for 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.700 those of you who are wondering where Justin was 00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:24.859 and why he didn't come get me, he's asleep now 00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:28.780 like a normal human, so I can't confirm this 00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:33.030 with him. but I vaguely remember him coming in 00:01:33.030 --> 00:01:36.230 and tapping my shoulder to wake me up, but it 00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:39.969 woke me and Mary Sue up and then we were both 00:01:39.969 --> 00:01:43.290 like half yelling, half crying at him that we 00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:46.010 were sleeping and to go away. The only reason 00:01:46.010 --> 00:01:49.390 that I think that that might even be true and 00:01:49.390 --> 00:01:51.930 wasn't just a dream is because I have a text 00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:56.530 from him at 1101 that says I'm never doing that 00:01:56.530 --> 00:02:01.099 again. No context. No other messages. Just I'm 00:02:01.099 --> 00:02:04.000 never doing that again. So I I think that really 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.560 did happen Let's get into the stories though 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.780 so that I can go back to bed The theme is Reba 00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:15.659 McIntyre because I wanted my best girl fancy 00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:18.599 to get to keep her name That's it. That's the 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.099 only reason I am surprised though that we had 00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.939 never done a Reba theme before that seems like 00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:28.409 something we should have done Keep On Loving 00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:31.669 You was originally a litter of five. A foster 00:02:31.669 --> 00:02:34.110 friend saw these puppies posted for free on Facebook 00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:37.650 and asked if we could help. The mom is a purebred 00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:40.310 husky who the owner bought but never had fixed. 00:02:40.689 --> 00:02:43.009 They have had her for a little less than two 00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:45.590 years and this is already her second litter. 00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:48.610 They surrendered the whole litter to us and are 00:02:48.610 --> 00:02:50.509 very thankful to be getting the mom's bait for 00:02:50.509 --> 00:02:53.150 free and already have her scheduled with Dr. 00:02:53.330 --> 00:02:56.550 Jamie. However, right after they contacted us 00:02:56.550 --> 00:02:58.870 to take them they messaged us again letting us 00:02:58.870 --> 00:03:01.469 know that some of them seemed sick and asked 00:03:01.469 --> 00:03:04.150 what they needed to do so we told them take them 00:03:04.150 --> 00:03:06.129 to our vet in the morning like she'll work them 00:03:06.129 --> 00:03:09.550 up it's no big deal the next morning two were 00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:14.090 dead when the owner woke up so she raced the 00:03:14.090 --> 00:03:17.069 other three to the vet and two more ended up 00:03:17.069 --> 00:03:20.229 dying within the next day or so so only our little 00:03:20.229 --> 00:03:24.689 guy survived it was it ended up being parvo I 00:03:24.689 --> 00:03:27.009 don't know if I said that. He's the only one 00:03:27.009 --> 00:03:30.289 that survived from the whole litter. So super 00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:35.110 sad for them. And still was an owner surrender. 00:03:35.210 --> 00:03:39.490 He was a gift for their young son. However, they 00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:42.469 were having some behavior issues with their son. 00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:44.729 He's on the spectrum and I think they were kind 00:03:44.729 --> 00:03:48.169 of hoping that this would be a therapy dog for 00:03:48.169 --> 00:03:51.330 their son, but he was not treating the dog. very 00:03:51.330 --> 00:03:54.090 kindly so they wanted him to go to a good family 00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:57.210 out of state. His name is Tucker and he does 00:03:57.210 --> 00:04:00.129 seem to respond to it but you can change it. 00:04:01.310 --> 00:04:04.110 Starting over again is part of a hoarding case 00:04:04.110 --> 00:04:06.530 that we're helping with. A puppy mill breeder 00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:09.469 was forced to surrender seven of his dogs, and 00:04:09.469 --> 00:04:11.550 last I heard they were trying to force him to 00:04:11.550 --> 00:04:14.030 surrender another six, but I need to follow up 00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:16.410 on that, find out for sure. The shelter working 00:04:16.410 --> 00:04:18.790 the case reached out to us to see if we would 00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:22.029 take this sweet boy and an even sweeter Pomeranian. 00:04:22.089 --> 00:04:26.889 We said, duh. The pom isn't on the van this week 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:29.490 though because she had a rotten tooth and needed 00:04:29.490 --> 00:04:32.949 a dental before she could come. This guy though 00:04:32.949 --> 00:04:36.329 was so matted and so pitiful that the vet school 00:04:36.329 --> 00:04:39.490 that neutered him had to shave him down completely 00:04:39.490 --> 00:04:42.069 because they were so concerned with how tight 00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:44.910 the mats were to his skin. Of course starting 00:04:44.910 --> 00:04:47.509 over again is the perfect name for him after 00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:52.040 he was shaved down to start over again. Just 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.120 like them horses is an owner surrender. The guy 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.660 had gotten a puppy for his son with good intentions 00:04:57.660 --> 00:05:00.519 but quickly realized he was in over his head. 00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:03.920 The puppy stays in a crate all day every day 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.680 while they're gone and then is just wild in their 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.040 tiny apartment at night. The owner at least had 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.240 sense enough to know it needed a better life 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.300 than what he could give it and didn't want to 00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:20.259 just give it away for free. Hal Blue is from 00:05:20.259 --> 00:05:23.560 our Alabama shelter friends. He was dumped by 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.199 his original owners and picked up as a stray 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:32.529 and then adopted out locally in late 2024. Then 00:05:32.529 --> 00:05:36.329 one of their kennel techs was on lunch in 2025 00:05:36.329 --> 00:05:40.350 and found him standing in the middle of a super 00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:43.269 busy intersection on the four lane highway. He 00:05:43.269 --> 00:05:46.389 almost got hit by an 18 wheeler. So she jumped 00:05:46.389 --> 00:05:48.730 out of her car, picked him up, brought him back 00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:52.000 to the vet. to the shelter and they have been 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.660 searching for a rescue to avoid adopting him 00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:57.839 out down here again. The shelter manager has 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.879 been so stressed out anytime anyone comes in 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:02.980 to the shelter to look at him because she knows 00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:05.459 he's gonna have a horrible life if he's adopted 00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:09.439 locally again. They picked him back up in October 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.920 but she didn't tell me about him until February 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.110 1st. and I just wanted on the record that I had 00:06:16.110 --> 00:06:19.569 him on transport within the month, so she should 00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:24.550 have told me in October. Also, how blue is the 00:06:24.550 --> 00:06:26.870 most perfect name for him with his piercing blue 00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:29.470 eyes? I'm very proud of the names this time. 00:06:31.149 --> 00:06:35.069 Because of you was an owner surrender to a different 00:06:35.069 --> 00:06:38.649 Alabama shelter that I don't work with. We're 00:06:38.649 --> 00:06:40.810 unsure of the reason that the owner surrendered 00:06:40.810 --> 00:06:46.399 this one, but This was my little deal sweetener 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.800 from last transport. We were asked to take the 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.300 sea litter of sex from the Mardi Gras transport 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:56.259 earlier this month, who in and of themselves 00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:58.839 were tiny and adorable puppies that I would have 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.110 said yes to in a heartbeat. but for some reason 00:07:02.110 --> 00:07:04.649 that shelter thought that it would be hard to 00:07:04.649 --> 00:07:07.490 find a rescue for them. So when they contacted 00:07:07.490 --> 00:07:11.050 the shelter that I do work with, they said, if 00:07:11.050 --> 00:07:14.110 you can find a rescue to take these six, tell 00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:16.649 them that we'll throw in this tiny and adorable 00:07:16.649 --> 00:07:19.629 three month old Yorkie mix to sweeten the deal. 00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:24.009 I would have taken them anyways, but very happy 00:07:24.009 --> 00:07:27.709 to be getting the Yorkie too. and i thought because 00:07:27.709 --> 00:07:30.470 of you was a fitting name since supposedly it's 00:07:30.470 --> 00:07:34.050 only because of her that the sea litter of six 00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:38.509 got to go last week new fool at an old game was 00:07:38.509 --> 00:07:41.310 born at the shelter last year her mom rejected 00:07:41.310 --> 00:07:45.269 her like almost immediately and their transport 00:07:45.269 --> 00:07:48.149 driver actually took her in and bottle fed her 00:07:48.149 --> 00:07:50.550 this whole time the rest of that litter ended 00:07:50.550 --> 00:07:53.649 up dying though not a single puppy survived except 00:07:53.649 --> 00:07:58.529 for this one Another rescue pulled that mom at 00:07:58.529 --> 00:08:00.730 the beginning of January but the shelter isn't 00:08:00.730 --> 00:08:03.829 actually sure what happened to her because the 00:08:03.829 --> 00:08:06.370 last they heard she turned out to be super super 00:08:06.370 --> 00:08:09.129 dog aggressive and she wasn't sure if they had 00:08:09.129 --> 00:08:13.189 to euthanize the mom or not. Does He Love You 00:08:13.189 --> 00:08:15.730 was an owner's surrender at the shelter. The 00:08:15.730 --> 00:08:17.430 owner said they couldn't keep him because their 00:08:17.430 --> 00:08:19.550 house burned to the ground and where they were 00:08:19.550 --> 00:08:22.470 staying wasn't dog friendly. They told the shelter 00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:25.949 that he's a chorky. That's a Chihuahua and a 00:08:25.949 --> 00:08:29.449 Yorkie and that they had papers saying that but 00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:32.210 I guess they were lost in the fire. He is not 00:08:32.210 --> 00:08:37.049 a Chorkie though. Like I will go to my grave 00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:40.690 saying he is not a Chorkie. Either they got scammed 00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:44.309 or they don't know what a Chorkie is. But whoever 00:08:44.309 --> 00:08:47.250 adopts him, I need a DNA test done on this dog. 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:53.720 Fancy, my bestest girl. She was brought in as 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:56.039 a stray at the Alabama shelter and no one ever 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.659 came forward for her. They held her for seven 00:08:58.659 --> 00:09:01.220 business days and at five o 'clock on the seventh 00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:03.519 day, they texted me a picture and said, she's 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.019 yours. And on day nine, I had them bring her 00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:09.340 to transport, which was the gems transport at 00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:11.580 the beginning of the month so that I could foster 00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:13.740 her for the week because she was so tiny and 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:15.159 so cute and I was like, we've got to get her 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.059 out of the shelter. Well. Joke was on me because 00:09:18.059 --> 00:09:20.460 that one week quickly turned into three when 00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:23.139 my fancy girl started coughing her head off. 00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:25.679 She had picked up kennel cough during her week 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.379 at the shelter. She was also in heat when I brought 00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:31.639 her home and was absolutely in love with me. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.460 Really, though, just my leg, I guess I should 00:09:34.460 --> 00:09:38.620 say. So I am fully betting that her owners just 00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:40.340 let her outside to go to the bathroom and she 00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:43.519 wandered off looking for a mate. I cannot figure 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.899 out though why they never looked at the shelter's 00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:48.480 Facebook page or contacted them at all when they 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.259 realized that she was missing. She's not microchipped, 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.360 no one recognized her, it is just so weird to 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.879 me because she is the perfect little dog. But 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:00.960 this is so funny to me. The shelter posted her 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.840 picture on their Facebook page saying she was 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.039 brought in, picked up as a stray. They're looking 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.080 for the owner. And I commented and I have like 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.539 one of those weird Facebook badges where it says 00:10:10.539 --> 00:10:13.179 like top fan or top comment or something like 00:10:13.179 --> 00:10:16.200 that. And if you click my name, it very clearly 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.500 shows that I'm an animal rescuer. Well, anyways, 00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:24.320 I commented on it because I'm always commenting 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.490 like stupid stuff on their posts. because I'm 00:10:27.490 --> 00:10:29.710 mainly just talking to the shelter manager who 00:10:29.710 --> 00:10:33.090 is my good friend and so I go oh it's me I'm 00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:34.730 the owner I'll pick her up in seven business 00:10:34.730 --> 00:10:37.490 days with like a bunch of laughing faces clearly 00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:41.230 a joke got several ha ha reactions from strangers 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.080 There were like five or six people who apparently 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:47.700 thought I was serious and I was the owner and 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:49.240 I was like, oh, I'm just going to leave my dog 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.980 at the shelter for seven days. And they went 00:10:51.980 --> 00:10:55.259 on a rant on that Facebook post talking about 00:10:55.259 --> 00:10:58.019 how if I was an owner and willing to leave my 00:10:58.019 --> 00:11:00.799 dog there at the shelter for seven days, I should 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:04.200 have my dog taken away. This is ridiculous. I 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.879 should be placed on a do not adopt list. The 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:10.899 shelter manager was coming back to them and like, 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.759 listen, she's our best rescue sheep. She pulls 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.620 animals from us every week. It's just a joke. 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.450 But I thought that was so funny. Oh, and another 00:11:22.450 --> 00:11:26.230 fancy story. So she's in heat, but I did keep 00:11:26.230 --> 00:11:28.809 letting her go outside in my fenced in area around 00:11:28.809 --> 00:11:31.590 the pool so she could go potty. But I only ever 00:11:31.590 --> 00:11:33.490 let her out there when I was out there because 00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:35.730 she could literally walk through a chain link 00:11:35.730 --> 00:11:39.190 fence. So fitting between my pool fence was a 00:11:39.190 --> 00:11:42.070 breeze for her. But one night I was out there 00:11:42.070 --> 00:11:44.370 late at night letting the dogs go potty before 00:11:44.370 --> 00:11:46.549 bed and I was talking on the phone with my mom. 00:11:46.809 --> 00:11:50.700 I looked away for literally 30 seconds, couldn't 00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:53.120 have even been 30 seconds, and when I turned 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.820 around there was a giant black pit bull in the 00:11:56.820 --> 00:11:59.820 corner of my yard who I had never seen before 00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:03.679 in my life. Fancy was on the ground in front 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.080 of him, lying on her back, belly up with her 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.299 legs spread wide eagle, just wagging her tail. 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:14.460 And this boy was literally drooling over her. 00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:17.220 His tail was going 90 miles an hour. He was in 00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:20.820 his glory. So I take off running, trying to get 00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:24.039 to Fancy, which, of course, spooks this strange 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.100 black pit bull in my yard. So he runs into the 00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:29.080 neighbor's yard, which is not where he lives. 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.580 My neighbors don't have any dogs. I still don't 00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:34.519 know where he lives. But when he left, Fancy 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.919 ran after him. And so anytime he would pause 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.259 and stand still for even a second, she would 00:12:40.259 --> 00:12:43.679 flip over on her back and then jump up and run 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.559 away with him anytime he would get scared of 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.559 me again and take off. So I finally ease up to 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.480 them and I'm literally face to face, eye to eye 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.759 with this big, huge, black, unaltered pit bull. 00:12:57.459 --> 00:13:01.860 while I am slowly sliding Fancy out from underneath 00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:06.200 him. I am so lucky he didn't eat my face off 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.919 for taking away probably the hottest girl he's 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.799 ever had before. So I bring Fancy back in the 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.879 house, scold her, ground her, lecture her about 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.100 how we don't do that. And so she lays on the 00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:22.940 top of the couch, looking out the window, just 00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:27.610 moping all mad. And the black people is pacing 00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:30.590 up and down on my front porch crying looking 00:13:30.590 --> 00:13:34.009 in the window at her like I want you come back 00:13:34.009 --> 00:13:36.590 out and she's like my mom won't let me come out 00:13:36.590 --> 00:13:40.590 she said I'm in trouble I thought that was so 00:13:40.590 --> 00:13:44.470 funny um We ended up seeing him one more time 00:13:44.470 --> 00:13:46.830 just a few nights ago and he was playing with 00:13:46.830 --> 00:13:49.309 peanut that time So I still don't know where 00:13:49.309 --> 00:13:51.490 he lives or where he goes when he isn't showing 00:13:51.490 --> 00:13:53.769 up here in the middle of the night We almost 00:13:53.769 --> 00:13:57.490 had some super cute teacup pitbulls though if 00:13:57.490 --> 00:14:00.769 I wouldn't have risked my life Luckily, him's 00:14:00.769 --> 00:14:05.220 a good boy and he was sweet The I litter of two 00:14:05.220 --> 00:14:07.980 were posted on Facebook for free with literally, 00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:10.799 literally over 100 comments from people saying 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.320 that they wanted them. A foster for us just messaged 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.720 the girl and told her that she could get them 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.799 into a rescue for her if she wanted and she was 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.080 like, yes, come get them right now. And she did. 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.899 The L litter of four. So a lady reached out to 00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:31.279 us several weeks. ago and she said that the neighborhood 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:34.220 stray had had puppies. I used the word neighborhood 00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:36.519 loosely. It's really just a dead -end dirt road 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.019 with a bunch of trashy rental homes. Anyways 00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:42.620 they started out with nine and by the time we 00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:45.399 committed to them she had given two away then 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.539 one wandered off with the mom and didn't come 00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:51.399 back and then the runt died. So Jessica went 00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:54.120 and vaccinated the five remaining puppies and 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.279 saw the nasty porch and crate with just a blanket 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.820 over it that they were living in and apparently 00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:03.299 rode out the ice storm in. So we made plans to 00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:05.779 take them in as soon as the last transport left 00:15:05.779 --> 00:15:08.320 so Jessica went back two days later and could 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.779 only find four of the puppies we kept hoping 00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:13.220 that the fifth one would show up but she never 00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:15.000 did we still don't know what happened to her 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.559 they ended up with a ringworm so they've had 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.179 a thousand dips in medicine over the last few 00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:25.919 weeks um they are definitely ready for a better 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.700 life than what they've had so far the lady is 00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:31.360 keeping the mom she really likes her and she 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.480 is already scheduled for a spay with our voucher 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.600 The O litter of three were found on the side 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.580 of the road in a ditch. They were supposed to 00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:43.899 leave last transport, but one of them was not 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:47.059 feeling well. We took him to the vet and they 00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:49.799 just threw the book at him, distemper test and 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.659 everything. No one could figure out what was 00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:54.220 wrong with this puppy. The vet was completely 00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:58.879 stumped. It turned out he was constipated and 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.100 very dramatic. That was it. The Sealer of Five, 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.919 we're not sure the backstory but this is a new 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:07.679 shelter partner that we're working with that 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.639 reached out for help with these five. They must 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.960 have just come in as strays or picked up as strays. 00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:17.200 They're also the shelter that is working the 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.919 hoarding case with the Cavalier and the Pomeranian. 00:16:21.110 --> 00:16:24.549 The tea litter of six are from our Alabama shelter 00:16:24.549 --> 00:16:26.909 partner. They were found dumped in the county 00:16:26.909 --> 00:16:29.649 and picked up by animal control. They were brought 00:16:29.649 --> 00:16:33.649 in with their mom, but she is weirdly aggressive. 00:16:34.169 --> 00:16:37.570 I don't know if it's hormones or PTSD from whatever 00:16:37.570 --> 00:16:40.759 she's lived through, but she is way way way too 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.080 aggressive for us to pull. So the shelter, the 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:46.220 plan right now is the shelter is just going to 00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:48.120 let her decompress for a little bit now that 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.620 her babies are gone and then work with her and 00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:54.220 hopefully we'll be able to get her up on a future 00:16:54.220 --> 00:16:58.649 transport. The R family was supposed to be a 00:16:58.649 --> 00:17:02.330 mom and nine puppies, but unfortunately only 00:17:02.330 --> 00:17:04.549 five of the puppies may transport this week. 00:17:05.109 --> 00:17:08.069 The mom was dumped in the county with two male 00:17:08.069 --> 00:17:11.730 pipples who were assuming at least one is the 00:17:11.730 --> 00:17:14.200 dad. The shelter didn't know she was pregnant 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.579 at first when they when they got her in, but 00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:19.460 they came in New Year's Day and saw nine sweet 00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:22.339 babies in her kennel with her. They were supposed 00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:25.240 to go in January when they were like newborn 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.859 newborn, but we knew that we were going to be 00:17:27.859 --> 00:17:29.700 doing the mommy and me transport in a couple 00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:31.980 weeks, so we held off on sending them so they 00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:34.549 could go on that. but by the time we did the 00:17:34.549 --> 00:17:36.769 mommy and me transport these guys were already 00:17:36.769 --> 00:17:38.730 eating on their own and would have all needed 00:17:38.730 --> 00:17:41.490 to go to separate foster homes thus defeating 00:17:41.490 --> 00:17:43.930 the point of only sending nursing animals and 00:17:43.930 --> 00:17:46.329 only needing like four fosters to pick up that 00:17:46.329 --> 00:17:49.670 day so we held them back because the next transport 00:17:49.670 --> 00:17:52.950 was just one week away well we had so many big 00:17:52.950 --> 00:17:55.549 animals on that van that we needed to cut some 00:17:55.549 --> 00:17:58.789 animals for space and these guys were our littlest 00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:02.960 puppies Fast forward two weeks later to this 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.119 transport. The shelter said that four of the 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.279 runs They're not really runs. They're just a 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:10.920 little bit smaller They seemed like they were 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:13.420 still trying to get over kennel cough And so 00:18:13.420 --> 00:18:15.779 they offered to hold them back to help them fully 00:18:15.779 --> 00:18:18.759 recover We said absolutely, but we still plan 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.599 to send the mom with these five But no foster 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.920 ever stepped up for her, which is so surprising 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.859 because she is a great dog So she had to stay 00:18:27.859 --> 00:18:30.710 behind for another week with her other four babies. 00:18:31.109 --> 00:18:33.890 They should all be coming up on the next transport 00:18:33.890 --> 00:18:38.230 though. There were eight kitties on the van this 00:18:38.230 --> 00:18:40.650 week. All of them are from our Alabama shelter 00:18:40.650 --> 00:18:43.710 and because of that we know almost nothing about 00:18:43.710 --> 00:18:47.519 any of them. Every single one of them was brought 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:50.359 in as a stray either by someone who found them 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.640 wandering or by animal control. Everyone was 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.539 found alone except of course the G litter of 00:18:56.539 --> 00:18:58.859 two who were brought in together, their litter 00:18:58.859 --> 00:19:02.900 mates. Until they don't love you came in super 00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:05.359 super sick and stayed with the shelter manager 00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.420 for several weeks. Then Jessica took him after 00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:11.140 last transport to get him fully well these these 00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:14.119 last few weeks. Other than that, that is all 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.680 we know about any of them. They were all just 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:19.720 strays. That's all the stories for this week. 00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:22.559 We had such a cute load with so many purebreds. 00:19:22.579 --> 00:19:25.420 Next week's transport should be even cuter though. 00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:28.660 We still have a Pomeranian, some doodle puppies, 00:19:28.819 --> 00:19:31.900 and a purebred Australian Shepherd that are needing 00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:35.099 fosters, so make sure you sign up if you're not 00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:38.059 fostering this week. It's a Ruff life, but someone's 00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:38.700 got to do it.
