Twinkle Toes boarded Hound Dog One yet again yesterday, but this time, it was for a different reason....to fly to her forever home. It had been almost 7 months to the day since Twinkle Toes first boarded HD1, suffering from injuries received after being struck by a car. Pauline Grimball and Sue Ramsey fostered TT and nursed her back to health. It wasn't easy, however. Besides recovering from a cracked pelvis and torn ACL, TT fought through a difficult heartworm treatment as well as eyelid surgery.

Upon arrival at Concord Regional Airport, TT was greeted by a mass of CBHR volunteers as well as her new mom, Patty Andrews.

I am proud of the volunteers we have within CBHR. None of this would have been possible without your support. Nothing is better than seeing a hound so happy in her new environment, knowing where she came from.

The Post and Courier in Charleston, SC also did a follow-up story on TT in yesterday's paper. To view the online article, click here

Hound Dog One Pilot

Hound Dog One was supposed to do another Pilots N Paws mission this week but was grounded by weather in three attempts. So, Hound Dog 2 (Kim's Nissan Pathfinder)took to the road yesterday to do the mission by ground transport.

The mission was to transport a 95 pound Great Dane, named Zoey, from the Sevier County Humane Society in Sevierville, TN to Savannah, GA. The plan was to get Zoey and meet a volunteer of a local Great Dane Rescue group at a predetermined location along I-95 to do the transfer.

I left the house at 7:15am on Wednesday and made it home at 10:45pm. Driving conditions were less than ideal with heavy rain and fog, especially in the mountains of NC/TN.

Zoey was a doll though! So sweet and she slept most of the way home. She is going to make some family very happy!! I'm just glad I was able to get her to safety since the shelter she was located at is considered a high kill shelter.

Enjoy the photos!
