Do you love Yorkies? This little girl and 70 others need a ride to safety. With the help of Connie and Dave Guthrie and a little help with gas money from our Club, they will get on the rescue express and end up in good homes in Chicago. Could you please help?Here’s a message from Connie:
Hi Michael and Friends,
Wanted all to know that Dave and Ryan finally got home late Friday night. They left Wednesday night, thinking they would beat the snow. NOT so!
Snowed here in Oklahoma, that should have been a warning.
After going around picking up all the dogs and puppies, Shana's at 5:00 p.m. 12 puppies 20 little dogs, my 8 little puppies that was found in a trash can, 1 moma and 2 puppies and another puppy from a lady that was evicted last Monday night, and 5 other dogs, going to Muskogee picking up 11 puppies, 5 older puppies, then to Grove OK to pick up mom, 5 puppies and 2 other dogs finally on the road to Chicago at 10:00 p.m. The guys hit snow all through Missouri. Around St. Louis with Dave driving he hit black ice, spun the van around and hit a retainer wall (thankful did little damage to the van), drove through Illinois at 20 miles an hour. Reached Chicago at noon instead of the scheduled 8:00 a.m. All the babies were good. So very thankful all was safe. God does watch over.
First thing the guys told me Friday night, NO MORE transports in snow. Don't blame them. We never would have done this, but we thought that they would beat the snow and the guys were only supposed to drive to St. Louis, but with the roads so bad they told Tails Humane Society not to try it. They would drive all the way. Turns out Chicago was hit with the worst snow storm this year.
We have another trip planned (watching for the weather) next Sunday to Paws Chicago.
Baby Girl, a 2 year Yorkie, was brought to my house Saturday night. The couple said they could keep her no longer. I currently have to go this trip: Grove OK 5 dogs, 7 puppies, Shana 20 dogs, 12 puppies, my 5 dogs, Cheotah 16 dogs 8 puppies. We are hopeful that all can make the trip.
Thank you all for helping to make these transport trips possible. Truly you all are a God sent blessing to our homeless dogs and puppies.
God Bless all of you.
Connie and Dave Guthrie
Connie and Dave regularly drive around and pick up doomed dogs from shelters in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. These dogs would likely be put to sleep if not for them. Your donations literally make the difference as to whether there is enough gas money for these trips to happen or not and whether these dogs live or die- thanks for your support!
