Lizzie the Shepherd mix in IL

[FairyDogMother]

I received word that Lizzie has just left Billings MO on her journey to me from IL.
Reports from her transporter say she's an abosulte doll and great travel companion! Last night she spent the night at a transporters home with her 2 dogs and cat and she did wonderful!
She is traveling as far as Portland OR with 4 Japanese Chins too. The gal I'm picking her up from there has homes lined up for 3 and is fostering the 4th one. She's done great with the Chins too.
I can't wait to meet her tomorrow!

Her daughter will be with her too. She said her 13 year old was excited to travel with Lizzie and bigger dog than their Chin's but was disappointed she wasn't a giant.. so, I'm bring Boomer along for the ride to surprise her with seeing a really big boy! She says she going to help the pit bull population when she grows up! Sounds like a great kid! I just might bring Gen with me for her to meet too!

Back to the floor cleaning and puppy poo!

She should be in Portland OR about 3:30-4:00 Sunday. I'll pick her up there and make the 3 hour or so drive back home with her.
A long way from IL but I think we'll find her a fabulous home in the great northwest!!!
Ahhh the waiting game! Not really looking forward to 6-7 hours in the car tomorrow but she's worth it!
A little of my time to make a world of difference in her life!

You are such a darling, can't wait to see piccys of her. Y'all will be knackered by the time you get home.

It's just my contribution to her transport here. I'm going to travel down there with my big boy foster Boomer and my pit bull Genevieve for the gal's daughter that I'm meeting that's taking the Chin's and is traveling with her 13 year old who adores big dogs and wants to rescue pit bulls when she's older! I thought it would be a cool surprise for her. Then they can keep Lizzie company on the way too.

Great idea! What a good learning experience for the young girl.

I'm leaving in just a moment. I'll let you know all about it so perhaps we can use this route to help some babes in the future as well as Lizzie. They picked up a Germ shorthair as well as the 4 Jap.Chins along the way too.
6 dogs in the course of a weekend going to hope for a better future..
I think it's very awesome!

Kudos to all the transport people - tell them bless their hearts. Anyone working in the rescue field deserves a huge amount of thanks.
