Some of these dogs MUST move this weekend! We have lots of passengers needing to get to rescue, and for some of them, this is their only chance at getting there.
Please help if you can! If you cannot drive, please crosspost and/or consider donating money for gas, as there are many folks out there wanting to help but cannot without gas money!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE RULES:
As a volunteer transport coordinator, 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 in consequence 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.
If you wish to adopt a dog you have driven you must go through regular channels (the receiving rescue). No dog leaves this transport.
Please do NOT bring your own personal pets on this transport. This can create a number of potential risks. It is also advised not to bring small children along on transports.
Overnighters: Please take appropriate precautions when overnighting dogs. I always recommend keeping your overnight guests segregated from your own animals for many reasons. We only know what we've been told about the passengers on this transport and as such, cannot make any guaranties.
I am an Animal Rescuer, My work is never done, My home is never quiet, My wallet is always empty, but my heart is always full. author unk.

THE RULES:
As a volunteer transport coordinator, 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 in consequence 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.
If you wish to adopt a dog you have driven you must go through regular channels (the receiving rescue). No dog leaves this transport.
Please do NOT bring your own personal pets on this transport. This can create a number of potential risks. It is also advised not to bring small children along on transports.
Overnighters: Please take appropriate precautions when overnighting dogs. I always recommend keeping your overnight guests segregated from your own animals for many reasons. We only know what we've been told about the passengers on this transport and as such, cannot make any guaranties.
