Written by CP's VP of Intakes
Two females had the opportunity to make their way to freedom, but because of timing, lack of foster homes and then illness, they had to wait an extra month to be rescued. Finally their time came, and their rescue chariot arrived. But wait, there was another Cairn female and two puppies that were in need of rescue right then. So, now there were 5 Cairns aboard the rescue chariot.
It was Saturday evening and it was dark as the rescue chariot traveled along the country roads of Ohio heading to our meeting place to drop-off the Cairns. OH DEER. It happened in an instant--the rescue chariot didn't see it until it was too late and couldn't avoid hitting a deer at full speed with a direct hit. The impact left the rescue chariot totalled and unable to move, it's passengers shaken and bruised.
Luckily there was a little diner nearby and several patrons helped get the rescue chariot off the road and into the parking lot. A second rescue chariot had to be summoned to retrieve the precious cargo and continue the trip. They drove all night long to complete the journey to freedom finally pulling into our vet's parking lot about 8:15 Sunday morning. The road to freedom is not smooth and sometimes there are some major bumps ... or deer ... in their path.
Named after the characters of the most famous "deer" book and movie, please help me welcome:

Bambi: Male, 4 months old, brindle
Thumper: Male, 4 months old, brindle
Flower: Female, 4-5 years old, wheaten
Faline: Female, 4-5 years old, dark brindle
Marena: Female, 4-5 years old, dark brindle
Here's hoping any reference to "deer" in their future will now be as "dear", cherished members of a family.
