february march vieques eventspor: Becki Thomasfour legged travel companions • compañeros de viaje poco usualesa much appreciated trip to Boston • agradecidos de viajar a BostonFuimos cinco las que visitamos la encantadora Isla de Viequesel noviembre pasado. Escuchamos la voz de un ángel guardiánen un restaurante local, diciéndonos que varios perros necesitabanser transportados de Puerto Rico a Boston. Regresábamosa casa el sábado y todas acordamos que era una granforma de ayudar y apoyar a la comunidad de Vieques.Nos comunicamos con la Sociedad Protectora de Animales de Vieques,contándoles de lo entusiasmadas que estábamos. Luego de ésto, fuimoscontactadas por una encantadora mujer llamada Sandy de la SociedadProtectora de la Isla Grande y coordinamos una hora para reunirnos en elaeropuerto de San Juan, antes de partir a casa.El sábado por la tarde, allí en el aeropuerto, se encontraban las 7 jaulas y15 perros. Los perros, procedentes de Vieques, llegaron en el ferry de la mañana,acompañados por los dedicados voluntarios de la Sociedad Protectorade Vieques. Los otros perros procedían de otros albergues en Puerto Rico, alos cuales Sandy está afiliada. Una de las jaulas contenía a la madre y a suscachorros, quienes fueron encontrados tirados en una caja en un Mall dePuerto Rico. Todos eran adorables y pudimos sacarlos a todos de sus jaulasy darles un poco de amor antes del viaje.Sandy esperó en la fila conmigo para hacer la verificación del vuelo. Ellahabló con el agente y le presentó todos los papeles. Yo solo esperé ahísonriendo. Las 7 jaulas podían ser añadidas a mi boleto para el viaje aBoston. Las jaulas fueron removidas al área de carga y las muchachas y yonos dirigimos al área de abordaje.Cuando llegamos a Boston, nos dirigimos al área de equipaje y lasjaulas estaban ahí. Alguien de un albergue en Gloucester, Massachusettsrecogería a los animales.Supe por Sandy que el costo de enviar una jaula en American Airlines erade $150.00. Aquel día, la Sociedad Protectora pago $1,050.00 para darles aestos perros una nueva vida. Ella me indicó que su problema mayor no fueel dinero, sino el encontrar personas dispuestas a añadir estas jaulas a susboletos para poder transportarlas a sus nuevos hogares.¡Fue bien fácil! Exhorto a las personas que viajan a Boston a que llamena la Sociedad Protectora para verificar si pueden facilitar el rescate deestos maravillosos perros. Es algo pequeño para un viajero, pero significauna larga vida de felicidad para un perro.There were five of us visiting the lovely island of Vieques lastNovember. Word came to us from a guardian angel at one ofthe local restaurants that some dogs needed to be transportedfrom Puerto Rico to the Boston area. We were traveling homeon Saturday and all agreed this was a great way to help out andsupport the Vieques community!We called the Vieques Humane Society, telling them of our enthusiasm.We were then contacted by delightful woman named Sandy from the HumaneSociety on the big island. We coordinated a time to meet in the SanJuan airport before our flight home.There, on Saturday afternoon, at the airport, were 7 crates and 15 dogs!!!The dogs from Vieques had ridden over on the ferry that morning along withtheir dedicated volunteers from our local Humane Society. Others werefrom a shelter in Puerto Rico that Sandy is affiliated with. One crate held amama dog that had been found at the Mall in a box with her puppies! Theywere all adorable and we were able to take them out of the crates and givethem some pre-travel love!Sandy waited in line with me to check in for the flight. She talked to theagent and presented all the paperwork. I just stood there and smiled! The7 crates would be “attached” to my ticket for their journey to Boston. Thecrates were then moved to the loading area and the girls and I proceededto the gate.When we arrived in Boston, we went to the baggage claim area and therewere the crates! Someone from a shelter in Gloucester, Massachusettswould be picking them up.I found out from Sandy that the cost of “shipping” a crate on AmericanAirlines was $150.00. That day the Humane Society paid $1,050.00 togive these dogs a new life! She told me their biggest issue was not onlythe money, but people willing to add the crates to their tickets to transportthese dogs to their new homes!!IT WAS SOOOO EASY!! I would urge anyone traveling to Boston, to givethe Humane Society a call to see if they can facilitate the rescue of thesewonderful dogs. It is such a small thing for a traveler but a lifetime of happinessto the dog!34
