Saving a being and yourself

For those of you who have never rescued an animal or those of you who have.  Here are some pictures of a friend of mine as she meets her new best friend as she gets of a truck that brought her from a high kill shelter in AL to a new great life in CT.  She's a 4-5 year old overbred basset lab mix scheduled to be PTS until a rescue stepped in and she found her furever mom.
