Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team
What We Do
- Finance transports from high kill shelters in central and southern California to out-of-state rescue groups and humane societies that are able to re-home the animals
- Work with out-of-state rescue groups to identify areas where demand for rescue dogs exceeds the number of animals in shelters
- Provide tools to rescue groups coordinating transports out of local CA shelters
- Take a business oriented approach to rescue, working to maximize the number of animals saved from CA shelters
- Ensure a reasonable mix of medium/large breed dogs and pit bulls are included on all transports (it cant just be about the fluffies!)
What’s a Transport?
The basic goal of a transport is to transfer animals from high-kill shelters in central and southern California to no-kill rescue groups and humane societies in other states where demand for rescue animals exceeds the number of animals in shelters.There are numerous activities involved in a “transport” including:
- Coordination between CA shelters and out-of-state rescue groups
- Vet care for all animals prior to departure
- Arranging for physical transportation of animals that starts at CA shelters and is destined for outside rescue groups
- Van
- Bus
- Plane
- Driving or flying the animals to the destination(s)
- Following up with rescue groups to ensure all animals are working through the adoption process
(Chef Chloe Coscarelli helps by carrying her new dog off the flight!)
