I was made aware of this boy on another site we will not mention. He was in a high kill shelter in Georgia. Basically the dogs get 7 days on a stray hold and a day or two after that. I was put in touch with a rescue organization there. At that point I had to wait a couple more days for the stray hold. The rescue organization pulled him out of the shelter and turned him over to a vet in the area. He was neutered, vaccinated, and tested for worms. Got a clean bill of health. A local forum member picked him up from the vet and held him for transport. Saturday he flew Delta cargo from Atlanta to Denver. Been quite a journey for him, but he has a home now.

Good looking dog. Thanks for taking him. I have seen many threads over there where they have found new homes for dogs.

What a good boy he is, Sparky! How old is he? What's his name? What's he mixed with- black lab and what else?

Hooray for you reaching out and saving him. :)

Not sure what he is mixed with. His name is Dog Vader. I was told he is 1, but I think a bit younger. He is a smart boy though

Great looking dog, rescues usually seem to know that they lucked out somehow.

Somewhat OT, but how'd you manage a flight? My dog has been staying with my parents over the summer in SC because I had 6 weeks of army training this summer, but it's been too hot to fly her back :( Can't be over 85F

He was in a high kill shelter in Georgia.

He's gonna enjoy the snow; he probably hasn't seen much of it. [Snow]

Looks like some good can come out of Barfcom despite most members best efforts to the contrary usually.

Good looking dog and good for your for rescuing. More people need to rescue instead of shop.
