Hi Everyone! Robin has asked us to crosspost this message so that we can get these three babies to us here in Alberta. We will be driving to Brandon, Manitoba to meet the transporters, but we desperately need some legs filled on this journey to help us make it happen. This is to help out Amanda Conner with her heartbreaking situation. PLEASE, if anyone can help, contact Robin at tettenhorst@earthlink.net or post here and we can forward the message to her. Here is the e-mail that we received from Robin:
PLEASE CROSSPOST TO ALL REPUTABLE RESCUERS!!

>Pit Prints Rescue and Rehabilitation in Canton, GA is experiencing a serious
(human) medical emergency (the president and backbone of the rescue has been diagnosed
with cancer and cannot care for all the pit bulls at Pit Prints while she is undergoing
treatment). Because of this, 3 rescued Pit Bulls must immediately go to another
rescue (in Manitoba, CANADA). If you can help fill a leg please contact me directly
at: (remove spaces) tettenhorst @ earthlink.net

>Reason for Transport: Going to new rescue
> 1. Name:
Unknown- this will depend on who remains in the rescue at the time of this transport-
rescue is willing to take any remaining males, so until other males are claimed
by other rescues, I will not know which two males will accompany Sissy. BOTH will
be the same info (dog friendly, neutered, current on vaccs, HW/flea prevention,
travelling with records/toys/treats/food, etc. just different names and weights-
both will likely be around 60lbs): As of now, it may be Leroy [1-2 year old N/M,
about 65lbs], and Will, [1-2 year old N/M, about 60lbs]- but these boys can change
if these two are claimed and two others remain.
