Update: First SFDR Legacy Transport is in the books! And it may be a record for start of need to final leg completion. Whoooweee, that was fast!  Update! @Dphill has claimed Mavis! She is traveling from Cincinnati, OH, to Watertown, Wisconsin All legs are COVERED! Thank you Arfcom! Mavis spent last night with BlueJames. Today he traveled with her to Indiana to meet Ibbob. Ibbob handed her off to Chaas67. Chaas67 has just handed her off to MotherChukar north of Chicago. And MotherChukar will take her to meet her new people, DPHill Tonight, Mavis will be in her new home!  Keeping Mark/Joker1's Legacy alive, Thank you so much to all who offered, who have donated to help, and to those who are driving! ~Kitties |

Quoted: Do we have a member who could pick up a dog in Norwood, Ohio, and hold the dog for a day or two until we can make the transport chain happen? Mavis is in danger of being taken to the shelter by an adopter who has broken our trust. She will get a good home, perhaps already set pending Jordan's speaking with the potential new mom and dad. But we have to get her to safety immediately, no matter what that takes. I'm four hours south and car in the shop, so do we have an Arfcommer who could stand in the gap? **HIGH-ENERGY DOG ***NOT GOOD WITH CATS ***German Shepherd--so a strong dog, though she is not large. If you could pick up and handle a dog like this for a day or two, please speak up! Thank you to anyone who could help. ~Kitties Hopefully not a member here

Quoted: @Kitties-with-Sigs If you need to make the drive,I’ll cover the cost of the rental. Quoted: Quoted: @Duke117 If I have to, I will rent a car and go get her. She won't be able to stay comfortably in my house, cuz...cats galore...but we will not let her go to the shelter. @Kitties-with-Sigs If you need to make the drive,I’ll cover the cost of the rental. I will pitch in too. Maybe help with boarding if she can't stay with you? |

Quoted: I will pitch in too. Maybe help with boarding if she can't stay with you? Thank you so much! GoFundMe page here for SemperFi's immediate needs, for any who wish to donate. We will pull gas money or other transport costs from there if needed, to make sure Mavis is safe. |

@dphill Just went back and looked at Mavis’s pics in the Joker rescue thread. Man, that dog has it all.. GSD/MAL(maybe) athleticism. Working dog focus and potential. Family dog temperament. All in a smaller, more manageable package that works for most personal circumstances. I swear, retirement for me can’t come soon enough. Just me, a few Mavis’s and a nice piece of land and I’m good for the remainder of my days… Duke |

Quoted: Still in the game for helping with transport set up as offered previously. Let me know if it goes beyond Ky-Ohio. @44-40Pro @Rook1099 Watch this thread. Not sure if I will end up picking up Mavis or not. If I have to, I will. Then the relay may go through Louisville from the Bowling Green area. |

Quoted: Rock and Roll Mavis...I'm thinking just...May https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0dae2063eda63e5da1810895aff69e1ef600d0fb/0_598_4912_2946/master/4912.jpg?width=1200&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=c5bb0f6631e2cbe124830c7df2f89ac4 That'll be between you and Mavis.

You know the drill Kitties, tell us what you need and consider it done. Duke |

I'll do it. PM me the details. @Kitties-with-Sigs How soon is the pick up going to happen? I'm in Cincinnati but want to be briefed on the situation and who currently has the dog. It's Norwood so I assume they are ghetto trash. I have dogs of my own that can sometimes be intolerant and 2 kids but I could pick her up by noon today. I can't be stuck with another dog for days/weeks on end. Mark was a good dude and I shot out at his place years back so I feel I owe him one. |

Looks to be about half way. If we can meet up here she could be home tonight |

Quoted: @Kitties-with-Sigs @BlueJames I'm in northern Indiana. Looks to be about half way. If we can meet up here she could be home tonight @ibbob how far south can you go, and how far north? I'll change the thread title to ask for that, or go into the hometown forums. @bluejames how far toward Indy can you go? Or do you need a pickup from your home? |

Quoted: It looks like the most likely route to Milwaukee would be well out of my area. If some weird routing has to take place that will run her through the NW OH area, let me know. I may be able to run a leg. For now, here's another bump. The route goes where the drivers are, but hopefully we can go more direct, through indy. |
|
Quoted: I’m in the area in northern Kentucky. I could house the dog for a couple of days but need info on where the dog is. I have lots of experience with shepherds. Can you get in contact with @bluejames ? In case his border collies go nuclear (he does not expect this) y'all can coordinate so it's easier on everyone. @GSDN02 |

@BlueJames @ibbob Rules are, you gotta take pics of the handoffs, and along the way, and post here in this thread.  We all want to see your progress! If anyone has trouble posting photos or if anyone wants their faces blurred for persec, I can do that. Just text or IM me the photos. |
