🚗🐾 The One Time I Actually Wished for Traffic

Have you ever been driving and thought, “I kind of wish we hit some traffic?”

Yeah — me neither. Not once.

At least, not until tonight.

I know what you’re thinking: “He wants to sit in traffic? Has he lost it?”
And maybe I have… but once you hear why, you’ll understand.

Around 6 p.m., while scrolling through Facebook, we spotted an emergency transport request for a dog needing a ride from Long Island, NY to — of all places — just a few blocks from our home. The foster who was taking her in needed help getting the pup there, and before we even finished reading the post, the conversation went something like this:

“Hey, did you see this request?”

“Yeah. When do we leave?”

Fifteen minutes later, we were in the car.

The drive from Jersey City to Flatbush took about 45 minutes — smooth sailing for a weekday evening — and when we arrived, we met the other transporter and got our first look at our passenger.

Out bounded Darla, a 13-week-old puppy who, at first glance, didn’t even look like a puppy. She was full of energy, curiosity, and joy — tail wagging, eyes sparkling, ready to explore the world.

We got her settled into the car, she curled up like she’d done it a hundred times before, and off we went. A quick, safe, uneventful ride — just how we like it.

But this one felt different.

Because Darla wasn’t just another transport. She had that something special — that sweet, soulful look that tells you she’s pure love wrapped in fur. From the moment we met her, we were smitten.

And that’s when it hit me:
For once, I wanted traffic.
Just a few more minutes in the car with Darla. A few more moments to soak in her gentle spirit and happy wiggles.

So yeah… maybe I am nuts.
But if being crazy means wanting more time with dogs like her, I’m okay with that. 💛

We arrived at her destination, who is a wonderful woman (Hi Alethia!) who has had Darla previously, as well as her sister Dora (Double Trouble). Darla was very excited to see her again and made that evident by jumping up repeatedly giving her kisses. Now, selfishly we want to see Darla again, so we are hoping to have a puppy play date with our Stella and Darla in the coming days.

Now, take a look at these pictures of her and tell me that you wouldn't want to sit in traffic just to spend more time with her?

Meet Darla *foster needed*

Darla is an absolutely darling. This 13 week old, Hound/Shepherd mix has it all: Looks, personality, as well as brains! The perfect trifecta!

Housebroken, pad trained, and crate trained, this smart cookie is a quick learner and tries so hard to please her humans. Darla is attentive and responsive to treats, especially Milk Bones. She sits on command and looks straight into your eyes whenever you talk to her! For such a youngster, she already shows such enormous potential.

Darla loves all humans, young and old, and gets along beautifully with both cats and dogs. She is super playful and ridiculously cuddly. She’s still too young for leash walks, but she enjoys spending time in the backyard, breathing in the fresh air and taking in all the wonders of the outside world.

Darla shares her possessions with ease, she travels like a champ, and she likes to stay close to her family members. She is the ideal blend of enthusiastic, affectionate, easy-going, and sweet. This girl is the ultimate doll. If you’re looking for a precious pup, Darla is ready to be your new best friend!

Transporting dogs is our passion — and every mile we drive is a promise to 

give them a better life. But as the cost of gas, tolls, and supplies continues to rise, 

keeping those wheels turning gets a little tougher.

If you’re able, we’d be so grateful for your support to help us keep saving 

lives on the road.
