Southern Mutts Rescue Wagon

Dianna and Donnie of TVV leaving Decatur with their babiesMission Accomplished!  After months of vigorous planning and hard work, on April 5th Southern Mutts Rescue Wagon (SMRW) began their maiden voyage.  The journey began in Decatur and after traveling 36 hours through 8 states - they arrived at their destination of Boulder, CO - with all 22 four-legged passengers (rescued cats and dogs) safe and sound.  Unlike the southeast, these pets were transported to a region of the country where there is a high demand for adoptable pets.  Now after only 2 weeks at the Boulder Humane Society- all but one dog has been adopted - and several pets were adopted within the first five days of their arrival. 

(Pictured above are two rescue wagon volunteers - Donnie and Dianna of The Village Vets - who met the rescue wagon in Tupelo, MS to hand off their precious cargo of 9 cats and dogs.)
