Howllo Fellow Hound and transport lovers! Do you remember the urgent plea I received from Celina, SPCA of TN with a soft spot for bassets?
She needs to get them from New Orleans, LA to Nashville, TN.

Bonnie and Clyde were wandering stray, together, about an hour outside New Orleans. They ended up in St. Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services.Their time would’ve been up on 8/27/07, but boarding was found for both, and they were pulled on 8/23/07. They have now been brought UTD on all vaccinations, are actually HW neg (!), have had dentals, and have been altered. While the SPCA of TN is a relatively young organization, it has been doing great things for local animals. In addition, the Founder and President is, on a personal level, dedicated to assisting Bassets in the South.
