or adopters. No animals may be adopted off of a transport. If you
are interested in a particular pet you have driven, you MUST go
through the proper procedures and contact the rescue for an
application. Keeping a pet that does not belong to you is THEFT.

IMPORTANT -- ALL TRANSPORT DRIVERS PLEASE READ
The info below will tell you WHY you need to know who you are
driving for and where dogs are being sent.
Drivers, don't just sign up to help on a transport without doing
your homework first. Click on the link below to see the tragic
outcome of blindly signing up to drive a transport. Gone are the
days where you can volunteer to drive (in blind faith) on any
transport that just happens to land in your inbox.
If you are considering driving on a transport, make sure you know
who the coordinator is. If you don't recognize their name, ask
around. Dig up information. Google their name and email
address. You want to make sure you are driving for a reputable
coordinator - one with integrity, not some fly-by-night person
posing as a coordinator who is going to use you to unwittingly
help send dogs into unthinkable situations. Find out who this
"coordinator" is - the rescue world is a small world - everybody
knows everyone or at least knows about them. ASK AROUND before
signing up to drive.
Another thing to look for..... if the name of the receiving
rescue AND their website isn't provided on the transport sheet
for you to see, **RED FLAG**! Ask questions of the
"coordinator" and do not let them off the hook without being
provided with all the information you need to check into the
receiving rescue. Google the receiving rescue. Ask other people
in rescue (and other coordinators whom you trust) about the
receiving rescue. Check DNA sites.
Go to the receiving rescue's web page. Read about their adoption
policies, etc. Do they spay/neuter BEFORE they adopt out? Do
they interview and do background & reference checks on potential
adopters? Or is it simply "cash and carry"? Do they seem
genuinely in it for the dogs....or do you get the impression they
are more interested in the adoption fee? Where are the rescued
dogs living as they wait to be adopted - in foster homes or in a
barn or a shed on their property? Look at the pictures of the
dogs on their site. Do they look happy and in good shape? Look
at the images in the background of the pictures - do you see
things like crates stacked on top of crates, clutter, and dirty
food bowls?
You could even take it a step further and email the receiving
rescue and ask them to provide the name, address and phone number
of the vet they use. Then, contact the clinic and ask them if
they would recommend this rescue group? You'd be surprised what
you can find out. BTW, all reputable coordinators do this as part
of their screening process for rescues they work with.
Finally, ask yourself....WOULD I SEND A DOG I LOVE TO THIS RESCUE?
ONLY DRIVE TRANSPORTS FOR RESCUE GROUPS WITH UPSTANDING
REPUTATIONS. PERIOD.
Also, please don't automatically cross post transport run sheets
unless you have deemed it a safe and worthy transport. In other
words, read through the run sheet first paying attention to the
name of the coordinator and the receiving rescue. Don't pass it
along if you see any red flags. If you're not sure whether
something is a red flag, contact a coordinator you trust and
find out.
If anything makes you uneasy about the transport - DO NOT
VOLUNTEER TO DRIVE and speak up!
There are evil people out there just waiting to get their hands
on FREE DOGS! Especially when the dogs can now be delivered
right to their door step!
Please, please, please critically evaluate transports that you
volunteer to drive for by looking at clues in the transport
request/run sheet.
DO NOT drive a transport for an unaltered dog to a private adopter.
DO NOT drive a transport for a dog going to a rescue that you
have heard questionable things about.
DO NOT drive a transport for a coordinator that other
coordinators warn you about.
Everyone wants to help a shelter dog, but please ask yourself if
such a move is truly in the best interest of the animal. As cruel
as it sounds, there really is a fate much worse than euthanasia
in a shelter.
All the details of a responsible transport should be available to
the volunteer drivers to protect them from helping a dog into a
fate worse than death.
