A pet not wanted (or unable to be kept) by one person becomes the new joy in the life of another. But what happens when the pet is in Kansas and the potential new owner is in Texas? Or worse, Florida and Oregon? Pet transportation, either commercial or volunteer, comes to the "rescue". The Beardie folks have put together a great resource, with links to many different organizations who can get a pet from one place to another. http://beardie.net/bone/rescue_links.html Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7777777777777777777777777777777777777777 Little Poops - The Straight Poop Recommends these Trusted Sponsors: *** SitStay - unusual and interesting pet supplies at bargain prices.
