December 9  Vermont State Police

There's an interesting story and positive outcome to this roll-over crash on Interstate 91 in Windsor, Vermont this afternoon. The numerous pet carriers you see were transporting 12 rescued dogs. With one occupant of the vehicle being attended to by rescue due to minor injuries, the Troopers were left to attend to their new furry friends.

With the help of the other vehicle occupant, and the fire department, the dogs were contained and transported safely off the interstate where arrangements with the rescue agency could be made. None of the dogs were seriously injured.

We have to extend a huge THANK YOU to the Windsor Fire Department, who turned an ambulance into a mobile pet carrier, and also everyone that overheard the incident on their scanners and showed up at the park & ride with blankets and puppy treats.

This is my transport... Thank you to everyone who stopped and helped... Who went above and beyond and to my drivers that were more concerned about making sure the animals where safe rather than their injuries... They are at the hospital now being checked out.. We will be back to saving animals again as soon as we can get a new van.. Hug your loved ones.. This accident could have been so much worse with a horrible outcome... Thank you again... Vermont does rock!

Just an update, Drivers are ok, I also noticed that the article said one driver was transported, that is false, one was seen in the back of an ambulance, but both drivers refused transport because they were more concerned for the animals on board. After all was settled and all the dogs were safe, they then went to the hospital. They are both sore but in good spirits.. Thank you all for concerns..

I am a board member with Passion 4 Paws & Potter's Angels Rescue, the two organizations that were scheduled to receive these pups this Saturday. We are so grateful that both drivers and all 12 pups made it to their destinations safely, THANK YOU to all that made that possible!
