Welcome!!!

I want to make my life a little easier...do you blame me?

I get many emails from people asking for help to get rescued doggies from point A to point B...there are a few really GREAT coordinators out there, but my personal feeling is there isn't ENOUGH of them for the amount of dogs that need transport...so I started helping out myself. No, I have not been around for years, no I am not a perfect person or better than those who have been doing it for years BUT I am eager and willing to help, learn, and do the job! Isn't that what it is all about? Wanting to help?

I have spoken to some coordinators about what their requirements are in order for them to assist in a transport coordination and while it may seem to some rescuers and shelters that this is a LOT to ask, it is for the safety of ALL involved, so I will be asking much of the same in order to get a transport done safely, and efficiently!

I have a form that will be used for anyone who is wishing to request my help in coordinating a transport that MUST be filled out for each and every coordination you need help with. I will also have a form for those wishing to volunteer to drive or overnight dogs on transport.

There will be requirements of the dogs that will be included on the transports to follow the USDA transport guidelines as well as my own personal guidelines. One thing that is always a question is dogs that are spayed/neutered prior to transport. While I would require this on almost any transport, there are circumstances that this just cannot be done in time to save a dogs life! I will be working closely with an animal control that does not have the ability to get these dogs altered before they go, so I will allow it pending an approval of a rescue that is verified to ALWAYS alter their rescues!

What I would like you to keep in mind is that this is a HARD job, and VERY time consuming! I do this voluntarily and spend days upon days helping out dogs in need...Sometimes it includes begging for donations for gas money to get volunteers to do more legs in order to complete a transport. So if you are in a position to be able to donate, I will be posting a link to donate to a transport paypal account which will allow me to have a consistant ability to work with my volunteers to get the run completed! Even if a rescue who is using my services is willing and able to donate a small amount to the fund to ensure their run is a smooth one. I really do appreciate all your help and hard work to save the animals!
