Virginia, a small,doxie/chi mix was surrendered by her owners to our local shelter. Our rescue found out about her just two days prior to her scheduled euthanasia day.

After scouring the internet’s various rescue sites and sending out mass email pleas for help, as our rescue was at full capacity, Virginia’s prayers were answered. The only problem was…how to get Virginia to the family that wanted to adopt her as they reside in Toronto, Canada. I must admit the task seemed daunting. Daunting that is until Alice Knottmyer, a pilot,stepped in with an offer to fly Virginia to Canada at no charge.

With an offer of a forever home and a free plane ride to get home, not a moment could be lost. Virginia was quickly pulled from the county shelter and placed into boarding, an appointment was set up with our veterinarian  for Virginia to be spayed, heart worm tested, wormed and brought up to date on her vaccinations. Virginia also required a health certificate as she would be traveling across state lines. Within a week Virginia was ready to go.

I am pleased to say that all of this came together and Virginia was flown home to her new family in Canada last week. A heartfelt thank you to the Read family for opening their home and heart to this sweet angel in need and  to Alice Knottmyer without whom,none of this would have been possible.
