I first got acquainted with this rescue through Roman's owner Karen who i hired as my dog walker for Boomer, my 11 year old pit bull. He had been away from me being boarded for over 5 months while i moved from an apt.to my new house, so adjusting to living with me and my cat was challenging at first. Karen's calms, kind and caring nature radiated to calm and nurture Boomer in a way that was very special. Her love and passion for animals is absolutely amazing. Boomer has stayed at her rescue when I have travelled over the last 3 years and he feels right at home. Her concern and guidance has helped me to care for him better and also my 3 tuxedo cats. I am truly blessed to have been able to find this rescue .
When Karen opened her front door, she opened it with professionalism, kindness, knowledge, and some sort of magic. We could not take our rescued Boston Terrier Dougie with us to visit family too far away for him to travel. He had a terrible heart from being a bait dog. He was thrilled to be with these outstanding members of our community. He rough housed and played ball 4/7, but the fun proved too much. She resuscitated him from a cardiac arrest! I'm still in awe. This was our first time here but I can tell you that you can leave your beloved pets with total confidence that they will receive the utmost in care. She is wonderful.
I started fostering almost a year ago. Thanks be to God, for bringing Karen Simpson into my life. Her non-profit; Roman's Travel with Care helped me save a mother Pit and babies. Janice the mother dog, was a first-time mom, giving birth in the shelter caused her to be full of anxiety and skiddish with her pups. she had nine. Four babies died in the first two weeks from bacterial infections, in their umbilical chord. Karen without any hestiate drove the last leg, well beyond the stanard miles. Next, I called regarding a pull in Elizabeth Town, time was of the essence. She was already out transporting in the area, once again she did not disappoint. She picked up Jerry, the dog who had been in the shelter too long. Jerry developed high anxiety, standing at the door opening he stood for hours obsessively licking, never stopping. Jerry, could no longer endure time spent locked up and showing exremely poor. Jerry would have lost his life, had he not been removed. Well, since it was Karen, I also foster the last two puppies~~~ un adoptable, Bella and Scarlet. Karen didn't even blink, picking 3 dogs instead of one! She took pictures throughout their journal, so course...I was excited.
Beyond the transporting, Karen is an animal advocative, often times using her own money, she has a wealth of knowledge on all sides. Karen even inspired me! I transported a blind puppy to his new owner. I have seen already experienced the good and the bad side...of rescuing. Karen Simpson of Roman's Travel and Care, just does everything right. I have respect for what she does...rescue would grind to a halt without people of intregrity, work ethic, passion, knowledge and compassion, if any one of five are missing it doesn't work. I can say with hesitation, Karen Simpson, has what it takes and I depend on her to save lives.
