Hoo Boy! Midwest Schipperke Rescue has been working on placing dogs from the Blue Point, Oregon hoarding situation since January 6, and the end is in sight. Ten dogs are still at Dogs For Better Lives, and Susan has been on the phone and email all day making final arrangements for adoptions and transport. Moving the last ones became an emergency early Sunday because of a forest fire (four square miles!) north of Central Point, and the smoke is rolling in. DFBL may have to evacuate. Studying the aerial and ground photos, the facility is not really in danger of burning, but that mountainside just north of DFBL is low trees, just the kind of fuel that burns ferociously. Our transporter is picking up two dogs early tomorrow and delivering those to California and Nevada, then going back for the rest, which will be coming east. One of them will go all the way to New Hampshire. This week will be busy with many communications to adopters and the transporter.
Wilbur heads to California Monday!
