Transport homeless pets to safety
When you volunteer to drive a pet from one community where they’re at risk to another community where they’re more likely to get adopted, you’re helping to save the lives of homeless pets.
Hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats are killed in animal shelters every year, simply because they don’t have safe places to call home. Transport programs are crucial in preventing this killing because they give at-risk pets lifesaving lifts to areas where they have greater chances of finding homes.
You can be a part of the lifesaving when you volunteer to drive pets from overcrowded shelters to regions of the country where they are more likely to get adopted.
