Early this morning, I drove to the Colleton County Animal Shelter in Walterboro, SC to rescue a one year old Basset Hound named Blue. Since this transport was done in my SUV (Hound Dog Two), I'm not counting it as an official HD1 mission.
Blue is a sweet boy and he thoroughly enjoyed the drive back to the Bluffton area of South Carolina. After roaming the back seat for a few minutes he ended up in the front passenger seat and enjoyed the petting her received for the hour and 15 minute drive back. He tried so hard to sit on my lap and actually succeeded with a half mile to go! :-)
Blue is being fostered at Camp Green Dog and he loves playing with the other dogs there. He should have no problem finding a forever home!

Hound Dog One and her crew finished out their inaugural air show season this past weekend up in Winston-Salem, NC. We certainly look forward to the air show season in 2010!
We saw a lot of interest in CBHR and HD1 over the weekend as our volunteers put on their HD1 shirts and CBHR clothing to get the word out. We passed out many adoption applications and made $100 in donations during the two day event. Even CBHR's mascot, Chance, showed up and drew quite a crowd!!
I want to thank all of you who volunteered your time this past weekend to help HD1 and her crew out. It was warm and we were all worn out but I think we made an impact in that area for CBHR.

Missions 12 & 13
Posted Tuesday, September 15, 2009 by Ted Holstein
Last Friday, "Hound Handler" Kim and I flew Mission 12 from Charleston, SC to Winston-Salem, NC. We were headed there for the air show so it worked out well. Our passenger was Holly.
After a delay in Hilton Head due to maintenance, Kim and I lifted off for Charleston. Holly was there waiting for us at Odyssey Aviation. We fueled and loaded up and headed off for Winston-Salem, NC. The flight was a little over two hours in duration but Holly was a trooper. Air Traffic Control even commented on our transport since I put "Carolina Basset Hound Rescue Transport" in the comments section of our flight plan. The controller at Charlotte even said she has been to the CBHR website!
Upon landing, we transferred Holly to her new adoptive dad and we went along our business preparing for the air show AND for Mission 13.
Mission 13 took place yesterday and Henry was our passenger. He was being adopted by a couple in Mount Pleasant, SC and was catching a ride with us. We also had an unexpected passenger as Holly's home trial didn't work out and she was headed back to Charleston to hook up with her foster mom again.
This flight has a little more drama than most since Holly didn't want to share the back seat with Henry. Hound Handler Kim did a remarkable job keeping them calm and separated, though Henry spent a portion of the flight trying to climb over seats at 8,000 feet up! :-)
Once on the ground at Charleston, Holly and Henry went their separate ways. Two more successful missions for HD1 and her flight crew!
Enjoy the photos!

Hound Dog One Missions 10 & 11
Posted Monday, September 07, 2009 by Ted Holstein
On Saturday, September 5, 2009, Hound Dog One and her flight crew returned to the Carolina skies. This was another first for HD1 as she had her first, back-to-back, double dog transport. Missions 8 & 9 were also double dog transports. Oh, in cased you missed it, Hound Dog One and her flight crew were also featured in the Bluffton Today on Saturday. To read the article, click here.
Our day started very early as we woke up at 5:15am to prepare for our missions. Our plan was to be airborne at around 7am. We lifted off of Hilton Head at 7:09 am for our 1 hour, 55 minute flight to Rowan County Airport in Salisbury, NC.

Once at Rowan County Airport, we met up with fellow CBHR volunteers and picked up One-Eyed Bob and Carlee. One-Eyed Bob was heading to Florence, SC to a new foster home while Carlee was headed to North Myrtle Beach, SC to her new forever home. The flight to Florence was 55 minutes; the flight to North Myrtle Beach was 35 minutes. According to Google Maps, if this ended up being a ground transport, it would have taken 4 hours and 24 minutes total. HD1 was able to do it in an hour and a half!
All in all, the flights went very smoothly. I logged 5.4 hours of flight time and we traveled approximately 500 miles.
Thanks to all that came out to support Hound Dog One on Saturday!! Enjoy the photos below.
