Two Disabled Dogs Coming from California

Delight_1We agreed today to take two disabled dogs from the Hayward, California animal control shelter.  One is a deaf female hound mix named Delight.  She's young, about 8 months.  The other is a blind Springer Spaniel ... she was dumped in their holding pen overnight, so she doesn't even have a name.  The shelter believes she's probably about 7 years old.  Both of these dogs were facing euthanasia.

We're working now on travel arrangements with a wonderful volunteer named Terry D. who first contacted us about them. Terry is responsible for rescuing blind Penny and sending her our way earlier this year. 

At this time of year flying dogs via the airlines is tricky because of the temperature restrictions and summer heat.  So we're also looking at ground transportation options.
