Heres a picture of me and my husband dropping him off to Paula. :D

I'm glad I was able to be a part of this. Koda is definately a special dog.

Koda is in Indianapolis!!!! Paula is waiting for Terri and Paula to arrive shortly :)

Heather, thank you so much for posting the pics! It was so nice of you and your husband to help out on this adventure!

YAY! He's almost home. :D

I can't wait for him to meet his new parents!!!

I'm so happy he made it!! Thanks for the update!

Paula and Terri are in Indianapolis at Paula's house with the little man :) Just wanted to update that he has met his new mommy!!!!

LOL....you too! Here I am so proud of Donna for keeping it together and we are all the ones crying now :p

Kim, that is so sweet about you missing your Dad. Doesn't matter how old we get, we are still Daddy's girl! And, he's such a softie when it comes to his girl and dogs (he and Mary were telling us about their doxie :) ) LOL.....I knew he had a heart of gold for doing this for us but it was only confirmed when I saw him swipe the ice cream cone with his finger....I knew what was coming next:D

Yipppeeee....for Koda and his new family - almost home!!!!

ETA..I just saw where his new mommy has him now - that's great!

What a wonderful story and a big shout out to everyone involved that saved this little guys life and also for bringing joy to his new mom in MI...it is wonderful during these tough times that these miracles can happen...thank you for the tears.:)

Here ya go, Kim - just a few more pics with your Dad, they are similar to the others, but I know when you're far away from Dad, you can never see enough pictures :)

:thumbup::thumbup: WONDERFUL job, ladies!! What a great job you have done!! ;) This is what rescue is all about! :)

Awwww Jen thank you!!! I've given my dad this link too so he can see the pics :) He and Mary had a great time today and they just loved little Koda!

They were amazed with how calm and well mannered he was and I told them that when you compare any other yorkie to Simon, they all seem calm and well mannered. LOL!

It is days like this that bring a giant smile to my face! What a wonderful team of people!!!:animal-pa:animal-pa

HAHAHAHA......I prefer to think of the energetic yorkies as full of spirit, it helps me maintain a sense of humor and patience about the kids wilder
days :D

Michelle, I know just how you feel, this is what makes rescue so rewarding.

I must have missed the set up to this one...such a heartwarming thread! Great job all involved and all rooting them on!:thumbup:

Well, I am just super happy & glad to see all the hand off pics...
Now I just cant wait to see him & his new family..

WOW!!! You are an amazing group of people!!:thumbup:

:yorkietal

Koda is home in Michigan with his new forever family :)

My dad asked me to post this from him and Mary:

"Tell them that Mary and I were very happy to have been a part of this rescue. The people we met were great, Koda was great and the weather and drive was great. Being a part of this adventure was totally our pleasure. Thanks and keep up the good work!"

That is wonderful news! Welcome Home Koda! I can't wait to see some pictures of you in your forever home.

You had quite the journey little guy....surrounded by angels the entire way!

I had nothing to do with this rescue, other than following the story, but I wanted to say thank you to all involved. I think there's nothing better in life than random acts of kindness and selflessness....this surely qualifies as such.

Great news that Koda is safely home with his new family!!

To all involved.....you are very special people to give your time/efforts for Koda! (and other rescues)

Great job everyone!! Can't wait to see pics of Koda with his new family!! :)

Congratulatons
 

You guys are just the very best. What giant hearts you all have.
Good luck Terri and Auntie Paula with your new baby boy.
Awsome job everyone who was involved with this choo-choo train.:p

Bless you all,


Hugs,

haha now we are all anxiously awaiting the last pictures!!! Come on Paula!!

Home
 

AFter his long journey he is HOME!!!!
He slept most of the time on the way home but wasnt stressed at all. He sprawled out on my lap and snoooooozed away! He is getting along with his new sister Ada very well and slept in bed with her and his mommy all night without a peep! He isnt 100% settled but WAY ahead of where i thought he would be. When i called my sister this morning i could hear Ada carrying on screaming and i said whats that she said Koda has her pinned on the floor and she is yelling at him!!! She loves to scream and act like she is REALLY a tough fighting girl. Poo took most the pics ao she said she will post today but I wanted everyone to know how much we appreciate ALLLLL the prayers well wishes and help getting Koda home. Im not taking Bella and Digs over today Im giving Ada and Koda some bonding time, but I am going over in a lil bit Ill take camera and poost pics for you all. We got home at 3 am so Im super tired but running on excitment i think. :)

Oh and ummmm I got a LIL excited about 20 minutes b4 poos house and I kinda got a ticket :rolleyes: the cop wasnt very nice and me laughing and smiling the whole time PROLLY didnt help. I said sorry but I was way too excited to let him rain on my parade! I was only going 10 over and i was in the middle of a pack of 5 cars and of course he picked ME but I dont care....prolly seen Michigan plate and said YAY oh well....I was more mad he held me up 10 minutes than anything. :) THANKS EVERYONE

SOOOOO glad he is having fun playing with his new sissy. Sounds like they will be lifetime best buds & he will soon learn that he has an extended family & it will then feel even MORE like momma Donna's house with all the fun friends he had to play with while living with her.
I am sooo excited to see all the great pics to come in the future !!

Sorry you got a nasty ticket from that mean'ol man. OBVIOUSLY not an animal lover.. :rolleyes:

We are going over in a lil bit so pics sooooonnnnn Yes my sister held him and said this was meant to be. That said it all.

WAHOO! :bravo:

First of all, I want to thank all of you involved with Koda's train yesterday & all of the well wishes!! I was really worried about it but once I met Kim's dad & Mary I was comforted. They are very sweet!
All of the pics from the train are great even though I still can't look at them without tearing up. I think it's "happy tears". I do miss him but know is at his perfect forever home. Thank you aunt Paula & mommy Terri for giving Koda his new forever home.

Okay! I was the 2nd to last leg. Made great time to Casey! It was a beautiful drive, lots of tree's still in color. It's pretty rural from my house to Casey! We made the handoff, he was such a good boy. He was very mellow and laid down in my lap for the drive home. When we got to my house, I sat him down to meet my boys. His tail immediately started wagging! I think he was happy to be out of the car and be around other dogs again! Paula and Terri arrived a little later, after the infamous traffic violation! Koda is such a well adjusted dog. He never got nervous or anxious, just rolled with the flow the whole time. He was chillin on the couch on the blankies and then running through my house with the boys shortly after we arrived. I've never seen a dog with such an easy temperment. He laid down beside me on the couch and I thought to myself...He is an example of why people love Yorkies sooo much! He's an angel. I was honored to be involved in getting him to his wonderful new forever home. Terri was talking softly to him on the couch and he was looking at her and turning his head like he knew she was going to love and care for him for the rest of his life. AND... I got to meet my sister/bestie Paula/Diggy for the first time after knowing her over 2 years online. They weren't here very long because they had such a long drive back, but it was awesome to get to meet Paula, Terri, Avery and Kayla. It was hard to let Koda go, he's so precious. But he is going to have a great life with his new mommy Terri! I'll post pics in just a few! Thanks for the good thoughts everyone! This was a success and I was glad to be a part of it!

Here is the photobucket link to the photos from last nite. Sorry about the quality, they are cell phone pics!
