Please take time to read this touching plea I received from a lady who moved from CO to GA and left her dog behind with friends until she could get settled in.
Hello my name is Mitzi,
I'm not sure what to say other than I need your help with getting my doggie Retta home from Colorado to Atlanta Georgia. She was in the care of friends when I moved and they didn't take care of her and took her to a shelter. She is with family now but they have 4 dogs of there own and can't keep her much longer. I have a rare immune system disease called Churg Strauss and I am on a fixed income and need your help in bringing my baby home.
Please help me I have reached out to so many organizations and you are my last hope. She's my everything, I need her and want her home.

All passengers are going to fully screened and approved rescues 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.

End of Transport
THE FINE PRINT: CherryHarley Transports is not a business. I am a volunteer transport coordinator who has a network of volunteer drivers and we assist rescues in their efforts to save death row dogs and place them in approved adoptive homes. All rescues must have proper permits to import dogs and all dogs must have health certificates to cross state lines. Please remember that I am dependent on what the senders tell me about our passengers' temperaments. The very nature of rescue transport creates some risk for those who participate in it; even a good-natured dog may find it stressful to be passed from stranger to stranger and cooped up with unfamiliar dogs and may act in uncharacteristic ways. Neither I nor anyone associated with this transport can accept liability for any accidents or incidents that may occur during the transport. Thank you for understanding and volunteering. Emily Cherry (CherryHarley Transports)
