Tornado Dogs

Hello everyone!  We are so blessed to say that we personally did not have any damage from the horrible tornadoes that ripped through Birmingham.  We had 4 humans, 4 dogs and one cat hunkered down in our basement to ride out the storm.  

Shelby Humane really kicked it into high gear after the storm.  They sent vans to Tuscaloosa to pick up dogs from the damaged shelters there.  They also sent THREE vans full of dogs up north last week (http://www.goingthedistancetosavelives.blogspot.com/) in order to make room for incoming storm dogs. 

Check out this great video from a news station in Maine about that transport!

Brittany and I are still trying to work through our schedules to find a date when we can make another trip together, hopefully it will be sooner than later!

Please continue to keep the storm victims in your prayers, 2 and 4 legged!
