Col. Potter Transport Volunteers!

Contributed by CP Volunteers

Spring is here – believe it or not! – and families are starting to think about Summer travel, so what better time to reflect on the travel involved in saving Cairns in need?

Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network (CPCRN) Transport Volunteers travel a combined average of 15,000+ miles each month…

…averaging 187,064 miles every year…

…totaling 2, 244,768 miles - and counting!

A single transport can take 10 or more drivers and cover more than 800 miles!  

Without the quick response of the Transport team, many times Fosters have to be boarded - costing Col. Potter hundreds of dollars that could otherwise be spent saving another life!

Sashay Reveals her Charms to Col. Potter!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Sashay, a beautiful 6 year old Wheaten Female

Please say “Hello!” to Sashay, a gorgeous six-year-old Cairn girl with the biggest brown eyes! Wow!  If she isn't just a little princess waiting to happen!  Look at what a difference a few hours with Col. Potter has already made in the life of this beauty!  She will surely be the pride of the pack as she sashays her way into someone’s heart!  Thank you, Angel, for tackling those tangles and letting Sashay’s beauty shine through! 

Sashay came to Col. Potter hiding some of her Charms!

Sashay is an owner surrender who came to Col. Potter because her people were leaving for a country far, far away where pretty little dogs are not as welcome as they are here.  All things considered, Sashay decided it was best for her to come over to Col. Potter for safe haven (besides, she just hated her passport picture), and now she is in her wonderful Foster Home, ready to chart a better course.

Let's all wish Sashay a happy, beautiful life, and give her a hearty Welcome to the CP clan!

Collier Begins Again with Col. Potter!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Collier, an active 2 year old Wheaten Male

The world witnessed the horror of the Boston Marathon bombing incident a few weeks ago.  The reign of terror continued afterwards and another innocent victim was added to the list, the young MIT police office, Sean Collier.  In his short 27 years of life, this young man touched many hearts with his wit, personality, zest for life, professionalism, and, most of all, his big, caring heart and easy smile.  These are two good things to remember and remember about his life. 

As a tribute to this fine young man, our newest young boy is named Collier.  He is two years old and has had quite the experience in his short life.  Early Winter, he was found out in the country in the middle of nowhere.  He was very hungry and cold, with no shelter.  He had no ID or even a collar.  A Rescue Angel came along and offered him a ride to the nearest vet clinic, where Collier enjoyed warm quarters and plenty of food!  When no on came forward to claim this little guy, the kindly vet began the search for a new home for his young patient.  One day, a man came to the vet clinic with one of his animals and he took Collier home to his family.  Home at last, but not for long...

Collier, adorable, young, and full of Cairn instincts!

Although Collier loved his family and they loved him, it wasn't the best place for a young Cairn with a very healthy prey drive.  Life down on the farm was far too tempting -  although Collier thought he was in Cairn heaven!  The day he caught his own fresh dinner, it was decided that he needed a home with less temptation.  Sometimes prey drive just gets in the way!

This young Cairn survived a rough situation out in the cold on his own and is very lucky to be alive.  He's enjoying the better things in life now, thanks to an unknown Rescue Angel.  It is easy to imagine that Collier's Rescue Angel was a lot like Officer Collier - always putting others first and helping in any way possible.

Please welcome Collier - a very lively and adorable young boy!

Humbly and in honor, a four paw salute to Officer Sean Collier.

Coach Signs Up with Col. Potter!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Coach, a handsome 3 year old Wheaten Male

Please give a warm welcome to this handsome little 3 year old Cairn boy!   Coach’s family surrendered him to a shelter when they lost their jobs and could no longer care for him.   The shelter contacted Col. Potter and fortunately we were able to say YES!

Coach’s name was donated by Geri and Joe P. through our Name a Rescue Cairn Program in memory of Mark N., who LOVED the pups and to whom they brought so much joy.  He was a gifted coach and mentored many kids and adults.  He coached kids in high school track for the last 5 years and in weightlifting for many years.

Welcome Coach!  We’ll find you a new Team!  And we fully expect that Coach Mark will be watching over you until that time comes…

Col. Potter Reaches out for Rayna!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Rayna, a sweet 2 year old Wheaten Female

Please welcome a sweet and petite two year old girl named Rayna!  Rayna's story has a tragic accident, a stoic victim, a Guardian Angel, and a Rescue - Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network.  

The Guardian Angel witnessed a small dog dart through traffic on a busy multi lane road.  This wonderful Guardian Angel then followed the dog home so that she could let the owner know the danger the dog had just survived.  Upon arrival at the home, the angel found an injured and underweight girl laying on the front lawn – now CP's Rayna.  

Sweet little Rayna has a fractured pelvis and nerve damage

Seems she had been hit by a car, but the owner was financially unable to seek medical assistance.  The Guardian Angel was able to talk the owner into surrendering the suffering little girl to her.  Rayna's Guardian Angel immediately drove her to a veterinarian for examination and xrays.  Poor Rayna's pelvis was fractured and she had nerve damage.  

Rayna's Guardian Angel needed help and reached out to Col. Potter.   Happily, CP agreed to bring Rayna into the family!  Currently, Rayna is in her Foster Home waiting to learn if the nerve damage will heal so that she can avoid amputation of her leg.  

Everyone that has come into contact with Rayna has marveled at her sweet temperament and her bravery.  Not a whimper despite her very painful condition.  Please welcome this sweet girl and keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Rayna's full medical expenses are unknown at this time, but they continue to mount through follow-up visits and normal vetting.  If you would like to help with Rayna's medical expenses, please send your check with a note for Rayna #6333 and mail it to:
