CAGE 20 IS A LUCKY DOG TODAY

As luck would have it, just as I was about to depart for Idaho I received a phone call from a woman representing Oregon Dog Rescue of Portland. She said she was at the shelter in Idaho and offered to bring "Cage 20" to Portland along with another dog. Oregon Dog Rescue had made arrangements with Alaska Airlines to fly the dogs non-stop from Boise to Portland, defeating all the severe weather issues. Oregon Dog Rescue was making it all happen through the generous assistance of a retired Alaska employee. She said she would get all the necessary veterinary paperwork together and that the dogs were scheduled to fly on March 1st.

And that is just what happened. I talked with Deb Bowen of Oregon Dog Rescue (http://www.oregondogrescue.org/about.php) on March 2nd. She said the transport went without a hitch despite all the weather-related problems. She said "Cage 20" was an adorable dog that would probably be adopted into her own family. Deb is currently trying to find a suitable Scottish name for the lucky guy. We hope to get a photograph and brief story of "Cage 20" once he is cleaned up and recovered.
