5 YEARS AGO this week, Flying Fur would adopt out

5 YEARS AGO this week, Flying Fur would adopt out it's first ever rescue animals.

Pulling from a shelter in South Carolina, I would personally bring 2 hound mixes back to PA; rather than just transport rescue animals from shelter to rescue, for the first time, I would venture into the fostering and adopting experience as well, and, what an experience it was.

Pulling and fostering animals will give you a quick education, as I had never seen before; the decompression phase for a shelter animal can be calm, slightly exiting, or in my case, blown nuts.

Having 2 full on hound mixes was something I was most definitely not prepared for - the craziness of house integration combined with general breed shenanigans was more than I had bargained for.

However, in hindsight, I would do it all over again - since then I've fostered a handful more of animals, and each one brings an education that you didn't realize you needed.

In my opinion, fostering animals not only saves their lives, but simultaneously enriches your own. Your boundaries and sanity will, at times, be pushed further than you imagined; however, if I have learned anything, it's that these animals will help transform you, as much as them, and for that, I am grateful.

Today, known as Eloise and Dakota, they live a lavish life nearby in NJ, adopted by the amazing pet parents Nate and Britain, who you may also remember as the family for @emma_super_senior

April 25th, 2015.

Fraser's story is indeed one for the books; I remember the day quite clearly; a last minute rescue request came up, in order to save this pup from death row. It was a clear and bright Saturday morning, and the only airplane I had available to rent at the time was a Cessna 152.

For those of you unfamiliar with a Cessna 152, it's well, not a very big airplane. With full tanks, one passenger, and maybe a sandwich, you are at weight capacity. It's not really an airplane you step into, but rather one you kind of wrap around yourself.

Fraser was on the euth list at a southern Georgia kill shelter, and his time was up; by a stroke of luck, through the magic of internet cross posting, a lady by the name of Kim, with a farm in NY pledged to take him, if transport could be arranged.

Enter Susan and Carol - two volunteers for the Animal Refugee Foundation of Wayne County - they not only stepped up to pull him, but then volunteered to drive 12 HOURS ONE WAY to bring him to Hagerstown, Maryland, where I could reach with our tiny rental bird.

Early that Saturday morning, I peddled our rental craft towards Maryland, at a blistering 80 knots (you can indeed watch grass grow at that speed). What seemed like an eternity later, we arrived, met, and loaded up for the long flight north to Orange County, NY.

I don't remember how long the flight from MD to NY lasted, but I do remember being fairly low on fuel when we landed. What I do remember is the way Fraser lay down his head on my leg and curled up with me for the trip.

With our eventual touch down in NY, we met Kim, and her then pup crew, who Fraser took to immediately. I clearly remember him frolicking in the grass, as if he immediately knew everything was going to be ok.

I think I put about 8 rental hours on the airplane that day; 3 women, from halfway across the country from each other, conspired to save this dogs life; THIS my friends, is what animal rescue is all about, and why, as I say, as long as I have a paycheck and a pulse, I'll never ever stop doing it.

April 2, 2017.

I DON'T remember what was going on here 😂
What I do know, is another group of pups were saved, and on the way to rescue, and homes; and by the look on all of their faces, I think they knew it ❤

Today may be April 1st, but there is no fooling around in Animal Rescue.

"Beagle" from my last flight, as we passed over Seaboard, NC, on our way to NJ. On this particular flight, there would be 18 dogs total - in our aircraft, that can be a challenging game to play depending on their sizes.

In this case, some were puppies, but the overall size and weight still matters; not only do the animals need to fit comfortably in their crates, weight and balance of the aircraft is crucial for a safe flight.

Whenever we fly for transport, I always need to eyeball the list to mentally figure out if everyone fits, and where they might go, before I run the numbers to ensure a safe flight.

In this case, the only way to safely transport this fellow was to place him up front next to me, so that is just what we did; at the end of the day, I will always try to find a way 🙌👊😎🐕

Thanks to @wilsoncountyhumanesociety and @bcaaofnj for saving these animals ❤

March 11, 2018.

HOPE, as we flew over the Delaware bay, on the way to our first stop in Westchester, NY.

We had 3 cats on board that would depart in NY, on their way to rescue in CT.
My co-pawlet, bundled up and warm in her blanky, didn't much care.

The heat was on full blast, and she was resting her eyes, dreaming of another world; maybe a world where there were no doggies that needed homes; no doggies that needed little wheels for their legs.

Whatever it she was dreaming of, by the little smile on her face, I know it was good; to be able to provide that to her, for even just a moment, is why I do what I do.
