So much action to take in at this place.

Lloyd the Weimaraner is finally home, and boy it’s been a journey!  Lloyd was found running loose on an Indian Reservation in South Dakota with another dog.  The reservation does not have an animal shelter, but some kind soul transported Lloyd and his running partner to the Humane Society in Sioux Falls.  The HS in Sioux Falls is a “no kill for space” shelter and contacted Courtnee Mulroy who is very active in Wonder Weims Rescue.  Wonder Weims is based in St. Louis but has an active satellite operations throughout the Midwest, including South Dakota.  I was pleasantly amazed to find out that they have taken in nearly 240 dogs this year alone and, because they go the extra mile, have an awesome adoption rate.

Lots going on out that window, too.

Anyhow, back to Lloyd.  Lloyd was driven to Kansas City where he spent a night with Lowell Davis and his Weimaraners in Kansas City.  Lowell brought him to me, and I flew him to Peoria, Illinois where I met up with Pablo Maurelia and his wife, Kristin.  This was Pablo’s first PnP flight, but I’m sure it won’t bet his last.  Lloyd settled in to each airplane like he was born to be an airport dog.  Pablo then flew to Lafayette, Indiana where Lloyd was met by his new dad Brian.  His forever home was only minutes away.

The pictures and video 018.AVI – YouTube that Brian posted say more than a words ever could.  It could be said that transports and adoptions like this were “just meant to happen”.  Maybe, but like so many dogs, the selfless work and acts of kindness along the way are the glue that binds it all together.  I just feel privileged to be a part of this incredibly worthy organization.  By the way, someone captioned the picture of Lloyd looking at himself in the mirror beautifully: “I’m too sexy for my fur, too sexy for my fur…”

I'm too sexy for my fur.

Blessings to the many people that made it possible for Lloyd to find his home.
