I'm excited to be able to help on this one MB, it's the first time a transport has came by where I live. I have a question? What happens if all the legs don't get filled?

Nancy, if it's just 1 or 2 legs then the transport coordinator will ask the volunteers on either side of that missing leg to drive a little further. If they can't or more legs are still open then the transport will be cancelled. We try to avoid that as often these dogs are in temporary foster care and need to get to their regular foster parents...or in some case they need to get to their forever homes! I have to say that although I've seen notices on Ratbone Chat that transports have had to be cancelled...none of mine have ever been cancelled. Volunteers, like yourself, almost always come through for us! And although you see transports posted on rt.com a lot transport coordinators will post on many websites and Yahoo groups, etc. We also have contacts with other breed rescues and help each other....I know in middle Georgia we often get ratties transported by a rottweiler rescue group! And then we help them in return. Guess that was more than you wanted to know LOL!! But...I think this transport will come together. Prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes....all those things help too. Driving a leg of a transport may seem like a small thing to do but let me tell you - it is a VERY important part in getting these dogs to safety!

Yes! Isn't she adorable? Please give her a hug from me when you get her, ok? I won't get her down here until Sept. 13th! She will stay with a temp foster for the week in between.

I will give her a hug for you and I'll call her "Alfy", that's a cute name I think. I didn't realize that she wouldn't get to you until the 13th.

Yeah, I have 2 fosters right now. One is leaving to go home this Sunday...so that makes room for Alfy but I couldn't meet the transport bringing her down I75 through Florida on the same day I'm driving Sorley up to Savannah so.....hence the delay. It sucks but she will be safe with a Ratbone foster mom in Atlanta for that week.
