    I can do Hagerstown to Harrisburg as long as its not required that he be cated during transport. My car wont hold an open crate. I emailed Carolanne.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Oh! Thank you sooooooooooooooo much!!!  Have you ever done transport??  I love it so much.  I get such a high from it.

    • Gold Top Dog

    I've never done it before, so I'm excited.Big Smile I haven't heard back, so hopefully the no crate thing wont be a problem.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Oh, you'll love it!  I hope you DO hear back.  There's been a small change & I'm going to drive to Harrisburg & pick-up Phelps from whoever does the Hagerstown leg.

    • Gold Top Dog

    I heard back and there were other volunteers for this leg, so I'm not sure who is going to do it. If it does end up being me, I will see you in Harrisburg!

    • Gold Top Dog

    This is my first transport with this group so I'm not totally sure how things work.  If I feel like it's a decent group to work with I'll let you know, if that's okay.  Thank you so much for offering!!!

    • Gold Top Dog

    Nicole,  I got a note from Carolanne this am.  It seems that Phelps' temporary foster mom has decided to adopt him.  WOOHOO!!

    • Gold Top Dog

    I got it too. What great news!!
