Where did my dog come from? And how did it get here? That may sound like a Talking Heads song but it's the charter mission of Peterson Express Transport Services (PETS LLC). If you adopt a dog halfway cross country, Kyle Peterson, the owner and operator, makes certain she gets to you safe and sound.
There's a backstory here, too. My first encounter with Kyle and PETS was just after the walk was completed in June 2010, I stopped over in Maryland to help a family for a week. From there I had to get back to Hudson and Murphy who were in Memphis and the folks at PETS gave me a lift and they were courteous enough not to make me travel in a kennel.
Our producer, Sheila, has a more recent experience and in her words, "In October we adopted a rescued dog out to a young couple in CT and Kyle transported the dog, Sonic, for us. Sonic's new mom, Emily, wrote a short blog about adopting Sonic and his transport with PETS that's on Finding Fuzzybutt Four. And this Friday we are sending our latest foster, Lissette, with Kyle to her forever family in New England!"
PETS was part of a Reality show called Last Chance Highway and they've helped a whole lotta companion animals out. Hope you enjoy our show with them.
Thank you Kyle, and all those with PETS, for dedicating your time to help all of the companion animals you have thus far. Just imagine how many wouldn't have made it to their forever homes without you. What a rewarding life for not only you but for the dogs as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Luke & Sheila!
