It is not what you think! The Labrador retriever is just a foster dog. Now that we have some extra space in our home, we thought it would be nice to do some fostering for an organization called Road Trip Home. It is a local organization that pulls puppies and dogs out of overflowing, Georgia animal shelters and transports them to shelters in the north that do not have enough unwanted litters or strays to keep their shelters full. They have adopters, but often not enough dogs.... what a nice problem to have! So Road Trip Home gladly does their best to supply them with as many Georgia shelter dogs as they can.
My close friend, Heather, runs the organization and my vet provides quarantine boarding and services at a discount. Road Trip Home focuses mainly on animal shelters in rural areas that have no adoption program. These shelters keep strays for seven days so the owners have a chance to claim them, but those that are turned in by owners and those unclaimed after seven days are euthanized unless saved by a rescue group.
Cain was found as a stray and no one ever came looking for him. I did some additional work to find his owner because he is just such a nice dog that I thought someone would miss him, but it appears they did not put forth much effort. So Cain leaves for Massachusetts on the 28th. He will be very easy to place there and will make someone a great pet.
Roaching like a greyhound
And then next Saturday, my husband, Stephen, is participating in a charity bike ride benefiting Road Trip Home. He plans to cycle 100 miles from Smyrna, Georgia to Anniston, Alabama. We are looking for sponsors and trying to collect as many donations as we possibly can because there is a local company MATCHING DONATIONS. So $25 equals $50!
If you love this blog, have learned something, or have emailed me privately for some extra help and would like to give thanks, I would really, really appreciate a sponsorship for Stephen.
If you would like to donate and can spare a few bucks please go to this website (

Thank you! I promise not to ask for anything else for a very long time!
