Tanya the Texan

Tanya was flown into Sea-Tac airport last week thanks to the help of some wonderful Horizon Air employees. We coordinated with a volunteer in Texas who removed Tanya from a kill shelter near Dallas/Fort Worth. She had been there awhile and didn't have a lot of time left. The Texas volunteer handed her off to the son of the Horizon Air employee at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport at five in the morning and she flew home to Seattle with him. Then we picked the sweet little girl up at the airport and took her home until the state coordinator picked her up to take her to her foster home. She already has a couple of prospective homes interested in her.

She was an absolute doll, who loves to cuddle and dance. YES, dance! The people in Texas nicknamed her "the dancing queen" and thought she should be named Abba. Thanks to everyone who participated in this well orchestrated hand off. Not only did the folks at Horizon help us save Tanya, but the money that we saved from not having to pay for her transport can now go to rescue another dog - so they actually saved two dogs!
