#179 SKYLAR (LabX) Little Rock, AR - Dallas, TX

SKYLAR #179, a 2 m/o 12#, female Labrador mix rescued by Stacy H in Little Rock, AR, was one of three puppies Stacy found running the streets. They were part of a litter of ten. Regretfully, Stacy said she wanted to but couldn't rescue all of them. She then contacted Debbie B of the AR Southern Dog Rescue for help in finding homes for them.

The adopter, Kelly M and her family of Arlington,TX, had already been approved for another pet. When that one fell through, Debbie quickly e-mailed Kelly a picture of Skylar and the rest, as they say, is history.

Driver Sue W was on her way out of OH through the Little Rock area toward her home in TX when Skylar came on the board. She immediately notified the co-ordinators and Debbie of her route and arranged to pick up the pup in Alexander, AR, at a small truck strop just west of Little Rock. She met with Kelly at Wal-Mart in Arlington, TX, about midnight.

Sue reports Skylar (now renamed Abbie) was fightened at first but soon curled up in a ball on the floor with her head on the gear shift boot and went sound to sleep. Enroute, they visited with Sue's brother. Sue thought Skylar would stay up with her brother while she went to bed. But, no. Skylar came into the room, put her paws up on the edge of the bed, and whined. Sue lifted her up onto the bed where Skylar promptly curled up into a ball, laid her head on Sue's ankles, and went fast asleep.
