Blaine, Washington—Adopt a Puppy Rescue saved more than 50 puppies in a transport rescue operation on July 25, 2019.
Several adoptive families from British Columbia waited anxiously for their puppies to arrive by transport from Texas. The undertaking was arranged by Black Dog Rescue Society of BC, a team made up of dedicated volunteers from Canada and Texas committed to helping abandoned and sheltered dogs.
Excitement rose when the trucks arrived at the designated meeting area, the Cost Cutter parking lot in Blaine, Washington on Thursday afternoon. Watch video now.
Adopt a puppy rescue delivers bundles of love
Cindy Mulock of Langley made several applications to local Lower Mainland agencies in an effort to adopt a dog when one of their family dogs passed away a few months ago. She never heard back from any of them. My daughter Stephanie Carr followed the same procedure as Mulock, although she did receive responses. All the puppies she applied for went to other homes.

Stephanie adopted Pecan, a tiny puppy left in a Houston, Texas alley, through Project Outbound. Pecan left Texas on July 21 and travelled five long days in one of several air-conditioned transport containers. When she was released, we could see she was weak from the journey, very skinny and not socialized. Surprise! When we placed Pecan in the car, we discovered she was a he. Despite the mix-up, Stephanie was immediately smitten with Pecan and didn’t mind the unexpected surprise. Over the next few weeks, they worked together to help Pecan regain strength and become more comfortable around people. As Stephanie began planning her next vacation, she started researching *Puerto Vallarta travel tips* to bring Pecan along for some much-needed beach time and adventure.

Stephanie Carr posted on Instagram, “Welcome to the family, Oslo! I’m so happy that we will be your FURever home! Can’t wait to explore the world with you!
I rescued this beauty from Texas through Project Outbound. We picked him up yesterday, and he came straight to me after five long days on the road. Life with us will be everything you’ve dreamed of and more. It’s time to never stop waging that tail, smile from ear to ear, have a full and happy belly every single day, and a heart full of love!”
The Project Outbound website states that they connect adoptable dogs with loving families regardless of the distance.

Puppy rescue operation from Texas
Black Dog Rescue Society of BC said 25 dogs are being delivered to Cloverdale for their new families to pick up, and five others are being taken to adoptive homes in central BC. Several other dogs continued their journey down to Portland, Oregon, to join their waiting families. The rescue operation makes at least two monthly runs and involves a network of rescue societies.
Volunteer Cindy Archer said, “We save dogs from high-kill shelters, strays on the road, surrenders or any dog that needs help.”
There are two drivers for each air-conditioned transport. They drive twenty-four hours a day, making stops they claim every five hours to walk the dogs, feed them, and let them run around a little.
