Columbus Voyages - The Final Voyageurs Arrive

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

These Voyages started last October when a miller in KS died, leaving her dogs to be rescued by some kindly associates who turned to rescue and others to find the dogs a home. A good portion of the adult Cairns have found their way to Col. Potter with several of them being heartworm positive and having to undergo treatment.

Today the final two Voyageurs arrived on CP's friendly shores - two females. It has been a long four months for them since these Voyages started and each one of them have had to endure additional hardship before embarking on today's journey.

Please meet:

Capitana: F, black brindle - who was adopted out last fall, but apparently the family was not equipped to deal with the baggage of a mill mama and was brought back. She will now get the time, patience and love she needs to trust and enjoy the new world of freedom.



Vizcaina: F, wheaten - tested positive for heartworm last October, and there was every intention to treat her, but money ran out and she was never treated. This little girl, who is reported to be very friendly, will now get the heartworm treatment she needs before finding her forever family on the friendly shores of freedom.



Please help me welcome our final two Columbus Voyage Kids and keep positive thoughts for Vizcaina as she undergoes heartworm treatment.

Columbus' Voyages Brings Us Another Voyageur!

Our 10th Columbus Voyageur sailed into the safe water harbor of Col. Potter!

Susanna - named after Columbus' mother, is a beautiful black brindle, weighing in at 10.3 pounds. This little cutie was wagging her tail as she landed in CP! She is very friendly, loves to cuddle with the new people she has met in the New World of freedom and is as sweet as can be!

She is being boarded and vetted and will be ready to start her new life next weekend. My thanks to Marlene T. for meeting Susanna's ship. We are in need of a foster home for Susanna.

Please help me welcome Susanna to the New World of Freedom and Col. Potter!

More Columbus Voyageurs Arrive!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Two more Columbus Kids sailed across the ocean blue to the New World known as FREEDOM and found safety in the loving arms of Col. Potter. These will be the last to make the voyage for a while. There are others still waiting, but their ship has run aground until they whelp and wean puppies and are treated for heartworms. Let's all hope they will be afloat in the near future, safe and sound, and charting their course for their happily ever after with Col. Potter!

Thursday Nina and Pinta found safe harbor:

Pinta - Male

Nina - Female

Marlene T. has been so busy directing boat traffic, she forgot her camera Thursday when Nina and Pinta pulled into harbor. But Friday she took her camera with her. Pinta looks a little groggy in the pictures as he had just come out of his dental where he had 12 extractions and the tired little sailor just wanted to sleep.

As with any large group we are able to help from a puppy mill, we can only take them with your help and support. Our Col. Potter volunteers and supporters are what make this all possible and it's a constant struggle from the financial side. With everyone worried about the economy, please remember the furkids and do as much shopping as possible for the holidays from the CP Mall, our affiliate stores and IGive. These venues don't cost you a penny more, but share their proceeds with commissions back to Col. Potter. These furkids need you and THANK YOU for making this possible for them.

Please help me welcome Nina and Pinta to Col. Potter -- may they always have smooth seas ahead of them!

Another Columbus Kid Starts His Voyage to the New World of FREEDOM!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

We were hoping to get a bigger group of these voyageurs all at once, but they keep sailing into the New World of CP in small groups and solo sailors. Today another LITTLE BOY CAIRN charted his course and made landfall in the loving arms of Col. Potter. He's quite a handsome LITTLE BOY CAIRN who will be finishing up his vetting before hoping to sail into a foster home to spend some time exploring the New World before setting sail on his final voyage to his forever home.

On Columbus' 4th voyage to the New World, he was accompanied by his brother, Bartolomeo and so, with this 4th pick-up of a furkid, I would like to introduce:

Bartolomeo

Marlene T. continues to be the welcoming party for the sailors as they come ashore.

Please help me welcome Bartolomeo. No more rough seas for him, just smooth sailing ...

Col. Potter is in need of Foster Homes for LITTLE BOY CAIRNS. If you would like to help start a LITTLE BOY on his voyage to FREEDOM, please check out our Foster Facts by clicking on the following link: I'LL HELP A BOY!
