Most shelters transfer dogs between them. It' supposed to help balance out what types of dogs are available and it helps prevent shelters from becoming overcrowded. A lot of shelters will put an animal down if it isn't adopted within a certain time frame, so 'no-kill' shelters take them and find them homes.
I'd be curious to know if one of the shelters near you would arrange for Jorah to be brought over so you could meet him.
Glad to hear you're looking for a shelter dog, and happy that my dog posts are appreciated.
Oh wow. Did not know that. I will check tomorrow or Friday if they can do that for me. I know the lady that runs the shelter is gone on road trips to Oklahoma a lot to drop off dogs so Mo is just a short drive from her current place where she goes.
I used to assist with dog transports from shelters up and down the coast, and with shelters in TN, KY, and OH. Volunteers would take sections of the ride with a dog or two and hand them off to the next link in the chain. Some shelters charge adopters a fee for driving a dog to help recoup some of the cost. It's definitely worth asking about it.
Very cool. I'm retired, but would do that job for free if gas were to be covered. I will definitely ask the shelter going to today or tomorrow. Thank you for that info sir =)
