Praise Our Pet Heroes

Adoption is one thing, but gathering, rescuing and then relocating small dog breeds to avoid becoming euthanized is nothing short of divine intervention, I think. California is becoming known as the state where many dogs are being regularly euthanized and one of the reasons for this unfortunate trend, is our declining economy. Statistics are showing that well meaning dog owners are just guilty of falling in love with a puppy, and then resort to abandoning the young dogs, when the novelty wears off or they can no longer maintain or afford the lifetime responsibilities. Shelters are overcrowded when these dogs are dropped off and become the responsibility of others. Fundraising events and donations have become part of our ongoing culture but this has enabled Animal Rescue programs to sprout up and start implementing strategies to get these dogs into loving homes. There is a great pet rescue hero by the name of Jan Folk who lives in California who heard about places like Alberta, Canada where many people like their animals large which has created a shortage - but no lack of love - for small breed dogs. Jan has begun successfully chartering jets and flying dogs to countries where dogs are in short supply and adoption families are ready and waiting to receive new family members. At last count, by chartering 5 jets so far, she has deserved the honour of pet hero giving almost 400 of the furry creatures a new leash on life. This is an act of love unprecedented and such a worthy cause that few of us could have ever imagined. I’m not sure how enough dog crates and supplies could be found and/or donated to accomplish the relocation process and it would require great organizational skills to load up all the dogs and prepare them securely and safely. I should cast my vote and suggest that all family puppies and adult dogs should have their own personal crate, whether for flight purposes or for home or kennel care. Every dog, big or small feels safe within their own crate and on their own bed or whatever material they prefer to sleep on. I have used many inexpensive quilts and blankets purchased from used clothing stores in the past, but crates and beds are sold almost everywhere these days and prices are reasonable now. I hope during flight, there were human companions to tend to the dogs but since one rescue group is responsible for almost 400 dogs over the course of 4 flights, I’m impressed if volunteers are ready and willing for such a commitment. I hope to hear about more organizations repeating these dog adoption transfers. We can only learn from those who have pioneered and perfected this adoption program and are willing to share their successful strategies with others. It would be a thrill though, to see dogs going to new homes in far away places, and successful adoptions awaiting their arrival. Dreams for dogs do come true and I add my sincere and heartfelt thanks to our pet rescue and adoption providers.
