      I am sorry for your loss.
      Unfortunately they do not transport dogs. An adoptee has to go there, meet up with the staff and dog, before an adoption.
      But there are wonderful rescues in your state that pull dogs out of shelters and foster them. That way the dog can decompress after the stress of being in a shelter. The foster people can tell you all about the personalities so you match up !
      Good luck finding your new best friend.

      It doesn’t help one bit, I just wanted you to know, if I could fund you going after this baby, I absolutely would. I couldn’t fund owning her myself, and I’m not healthy enough for a dog that size, or a dog that young. All my critters are old critters, or have other folks to take care of them. I’m sorry for your loss, and wish all good things.

      I was in a similar situation. I kept running into problems last fall. For awhile there was a mystery canine disease. I also ran into two different fosters who lied to me, and I suspected they were money scams. I was thinking the universe was preventing this. I quit looking, then one day there was a phone call. Now I'm back to believing that the dog you need will find you.

    When my son was 15yo, his 14yo dog crossed the rainbow bridge. A year later, he was ready for another dog. He didn't want a puppy, he wanted an older dog. We visited our shelter where this older fellow immediately took to my son. It was really something to see. They said he was an indoor dog and house trained.
    He came home with us that day.
    Imagine our surprise when we found he didn't like men. Took my husband months of letting the dog get to know him.
    He didn't want to play, was kind of lazy about taking walks (lol), but he was THE BEST DOG EVER. Strictly a companion animal, wanted nothing more than to just hang out with my son.
    Seven years later, he had to cross the rainbow bridge due to numerous cancers.
    The entire extended family was devastated. He was truly deeply loved, and gave that love in return.
    He would even share his large bed with the cats. We will forever miss him. ❤️

    My state attorney was the one that pushed for animal cruelty to be a felony. He’s an avid rescue supporter and it came as a result of two horrid situations. One had 3 dogs thrown out of a moving vehicle over the guard rails to the expressway below. I fostered one during the criminal case. He eventually was released to be adopted and I cried when his adopter sent me a picture of their 3 year old leaning on him and reading him a book. They all had injuries which is why I had him. I do medical fostering. He had several beautiful years before he went to heaven.

    My sweet baby girl, Iris, a German Shepherd/Husky mix, was in the shelter for almost a year when I adopted her in March. She's a senior, 9 years old. When she came home with me, she really struggled with separation anxiety. She had been fostered twice and returned within days because of her anxiety. Now, almost 4 months later, it's like she and I have been together for years. She's a major cuddle bug, loves to talk, and has an opinion about everything. Her anxiety is virtually non-existent. There's nothing quite like the bond that's formed when you find your special shelter rescue!

      No, it's exactly the same over here 🇬🇧.. any animal that is part of an animal cruelty prosecution can't be adopted out until that court case is over.. even though these 4 beautiful dogs were seized in a cruelty case, they are still owned by that individual.. Once they are found guilty, then they are available for adoption.. They are classed as 'evidence ' in the case, so they are part of the prosecution . Yes, it's a shame for the animals.. but as Rocky said, if the laws were clearer and made it easier and quicker to prosecute, then these cases wouldn't take so long.

It's like having dcs take children out of bad parenting situations and return them when the courts send the children back to the same thing. Some courts will make the owner pay the shelter for the care of the animals if they want them back. Or restitution will be added to the sentence if found guilty. Most of them just surrender the animals back to the shelter.

The law understands that dogs and other companion animals have basic rights, hence animal cruelty charges can rise to felonies, but it needs to go further and consider their well-being as sensitive, sentient individuals. The law should protect them as it would protect the well-being of a child or any other person who can’t advocate for herself.

    There is nothing as great a feeling as rescuing a dog or cat. I rescued my little Yorkie, Daisy, 8 years ago. I always had cats, and this dog. I didn’t care about the breed, she was so tiny and cute. There were 40 people ahead of me to adopt, so I went around praying to God to please let me have her. After about an hour, after picking up things I knew I whould need, I went up to the person in charge and she told me this. She couldn’t understand it but no one showed up who wanted to see and adopt her. I told her I was praying to God to let me be the one and he answered my prayer. She was mine. To this day I think about this and thank God. She is now a diabetic, blind because of it and has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart. I don’t know how much longer I will have her but I gave her the very best life a person could give. She’s my little sweetheart, my companion, and I have no regrets buying her medication and special food. God always supplies my needs for her because I am very low income. Each month He comes through. I am forever grateful. ✝️

But when I used to watch the series Lucky Dog, Brandon McMillan used to say one of the most important things to teach them is not to dash out the door because that's how they become strays. Totally made sense. When I first got them my Bichon mix, she would scoot out of the car the second the car door opened, my terrier mix would be in a panic to bolt out when any door opened. I've since trained them to wait, also they're micro chipped of course.

    I was looking for a companion for my Pomeranian, so I spent weeks going to my local shelter every day to try to find the right dog. I finally found my boy Corbin who was terrified of people, obviously abused, terrified of any noise. When I met him, they brought him into the room and he sat next to me, he didn't really want to get pet or anything, but I saw him cuddling with the other dogs. I knew that it would work because he needed another dog so did my girl. Once I had done the paperwork, the shelter staff plopped him into my arms. When we got into the car he attached himself to my neck and wouldn't move. Sometimes even if they are scared, just knowing they are leaving the shelter is enough to help them connect. I have had him 4 and a half years now and he still has problems, but he is the most loving dog I have ever had.

      If she actually is an Anatolian Shepherd cross, they are extremely cautious of strangers by nature. They are a guardian breed and are great on a farm as livestock protectors. She will require a lot of time and patience but it will be worth it when she feels secure in her new family.

    I rescued a retired Greyhound that had only lived in a kennel when not racing, for his 1st three years of life, then had been transfered to a series of No Kill shelters, where he lived in kennels & was moved every 90 days to another shelter, for 3 more years. He was so sweet and gentle, but shut down for about 1 year after I rescued him. My Great Dane loved him and would try to snuggle him, we walked a lot together, and finally after about a year he started opening up and letting us all love on him. It's such a very sad life, no social connections formed, no joy. Very sad, very difficult on their mental health.
