Weekly Update for September 11, 2008

Doll and the new Hope Sanctuary employee, Elizabeth, set out on Friday morning on another transport to Every Creature Counts in Denver. On the van were 42 dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. Included in this group were 12 Chihuahua mixes from a recent hoarder case Doll investigated in Oakland, MS. These twelve Chihuahuas are all special needs and very timid. Lisa and her crew at Every Creature Counts are terrific at working with special needs animals and bringing them around. Without Every Creature Counts, these Chihuahuas and several other special needs animals on this transport would have had little hope of adoption.

Hope Sanctuary would also like to thank Dr. Martha Lewis for her generous and thoughtful donation of a horse trailer—we've been looking for a donation of a trailer for a long time to help us with transports! This thoughtful donation will help ensure that the animals at Hope Sanctuary continue to have the opportunity to find good homes. The one item we need to make it complete is a truck to pull the trailer, so we welcome one with open arms if you have one to donate.
