Did your rescue dog fall asleep in the car driving to his new home and why?

No, but my one eyed rescue goose “Sonora” rode all the way home on a 2 hour drive standing in a wicker laundry basket with his head peeking out strapped into the front seat of my car. haha He was very happy to go swimming in his new pool and have a refreshing salad when he got to his new home.

I had mine put in the trunk in a little box because the car was new and not my own. The trip home was only a few minutes. Suddenly, from the rear view mirror I see a little white face staring at me from the back speakers! She had crawled out of the box and found her way out! Only 3 months old at that time. She was scared and uncomfortable!

Nope – Frodo sat comfortably in my lap while my friend drove us home.

Katy, a large black mixed breed dog, followed me home from work. Once in the yard, and having drunk a bowl of water, followed by a few cups of milk – she looked both starved and thirsty – she fell asleep until nightfall, when my daughter, coming home from work, tripped over her in the dark. Katy must have been exhausted. She only looked apologetic. I only had her a year before she died, and the vet said she must have been very old, as she had cataracts in both eyes and her teeth were worn down to the gums. Yet, when lying on the front step she looked quite intimidating, as she was the size of a young donkey. But a milder personality you could not find. She was a good rat catcher.

Thor, my kitten, draped himself across my lap as I drove home, after he finished climbing across my shoulders and looking out the window. He was found by my best friend at the warehouse where she worked. He was skin and bones – very malnourished. We think he was from a feral colony in the woods, or perhaps abandoned there.

Daisy was only 8 weeks old when we adopted her and was asleep from the moment we saw her until we got her home, where she peed on my husband’s lap. We thought she was sick (or dead) because she was completely limp in my husband’s hand. After a few days, we began to think they tranquillized her because she never slept again after that.

Yes, my adopted dog slept really well in the car, I had played with her for a long time before adopting her, so she was really tired

No. My Xena was afraid of the car and she sat on my lap trembling with fear all the way home. It was another year before she got used to the car enough to not be totally miserable in it.
