Permission to crosspost/forward. 

Jimmy, Scruffy and Dustin's days were numbered.  They ended up in a kill shelter in a remote location in Alabama.  Luckily, they were noticed by a rescuer who has space available for them and will foster them until they're ready for their forever homes.  They'll be vetted, groomed and temporarily fostered this week and will then be homeward bound for the better life that's awaiting them!  This situation is URGENT as the foster they are with this week cannot hold them beyond this weekend.  They MUST leave on Saturday the 10th!

Because of the long distance transport, the short notice,  and the urgency of their situation, there are quite a few "unknown's" in their descriptions.  I apologize, for not having full information on them yet, but I will update everything in the next couple of days, as soon as it becomes known. 

If you can help with any part of this transport, please contact Carol Keany at ckeany @ comcast.net (remove spaces).  Please do not reply to the lists as I may overlook your offer of help.  All legs of this transport are flexible and can be adjusted.
