#316 SUGAR (Jack Russell Terrier) Honaker, VA - Blue Earth, MN
SUGAR #316 a 3 yr 13# female JRT began her extended trip near Bristol with Driver Chris L. Chris knew Sugar would need to be on the truck for awhile as she would need to work her way toward the Albert Lea area, which would be the closest she would get.
Plans had been made to meet the receiver, Cindy, near Cedar Rapids, IA, and Sugar would be on her way home. Oh so we all thought. Chris got turned around in St. Louis and we couldn’t find a repower for her soon enough. Then Chris’ truck began having major problems and she was in and out of shops trying to get it fixed. Several times we thought we had a repower and then it would fall through.
Finally, we got word Driver Rick M was headed toward Atlanta as was Chris. Determining Chris was 2-3 hours out, Rick waited for her in Cartersville, GA, and the exchange was made. The good news? Rick’s load was headed right through Albert Lea, MN, after a stop in Kansas City, MO!
The bad news? His load was re-powered in Kansas City and it seemed Sugar was once again a trucking dog. The next day brought good new again as Rick got another load up to Des Moines, IA, where Cindy and her family could meet Rick. Shortly thereafter, Sugar was in the arms of her new family and on her way to her new furever home.

We said goodb ye to a precious furkid today. After being with us for 5 months here in Va, Sugar has left out today with Operation Roger to meet her new family in Blue Earth MN. After nursing her back to health from heart worm infestation, we had become very attached to her. It was an emotional goodbye. Sugar will always hold a special place in my heart. She is going to a wonderful family in MN who alre dy loves her and they haven't even met her yet. That's the only thing that matters. This is why we rescue. Although it is sometimes heart breaking to let them go, we know we must so we can rescue more. We will miss her so much. Sugar loves all people. She will give out kisses to all strangers. That's one of the many thing s that makes her so special. I know in my heart she is going to a great home so why am I crying over her?
