Monday, April 18: Leg 5

Cheryl and David started on the long trip back home almost 2 hours later than planned. All the dogs were snug in their crates, except for Roscoe, who doesn’t enjoy crate accommodations! Being around 10 years old, everyone agreed he could travel how ever he felt most comfortable.

At 9:30 that night, the van pulled into the meeting spot just north of Philadelphia! 6 dogs on board and 2 tired transporters.

Cheryl has the energy to give Belle a little walk upon arrival.Meeting the van was Karen Cox, an ACDRA volunteer planning to foster Sadie and Belle and Marianne Ahern, Roscoe's foster mom. Karen also took Becca home with her until ACDRA volunteer Emily Wizorek could pick her up (in a week) to foster her.

Karen and Marianne had short drives home but Cheryl and David had another hour ahead of them to finally get home. There, Cheryl and her partner, Chris Abrams, gave Chase and Tucker some food and much needed baths! Yes, it was a very long day for everyone concerned.

But the journey continues for the 6 dogs transported...

The handsome Chase!
