Welcome to the MySpace page for the Yahoo! Group DogTransportVolunteers!
DOGTRANSPORTVOLUNTEERS
While our name may suggest we're only involved in transport, and only the transport of dogs, that is not the case. We do not discriminate and have assisted with the transport of cats, horses, guinea pigs, chickens, and even full-sized pigs!
We are a group that provides a central database for those involved in animal rescue. We post transports for many different rescue organizations in the U.S. and a few in Canada. We also post needs for home visits, shelter pulls, transport coordinators, and overnight stays (for pets in transport that need a one or two night stay during their trip).
Our group is mainly database-driven and is moderated. This means you don't see a lot of the duplicate postings you see on other groups. It also means that every subject line immediately tells you if you need to bother reading the entire message or not. This is accomplished by requiring that all postings follow specific guidelines and that each one be approved by a moderator prior to posting.
It may sound "strict" but, trust me, it works wonderfully! We've had nothing but positive feedback from transport coordinators. I wish more of the groups to which I belong worked things this way.
If you are interested in volunteering, or if you are a rescuer who would like to post needs to our group, please join us!
Together, we can make even more of a difference in the lives animals in the U.S. & Canada!
Our Yahoo! group exists to connect volunteers and transport coordinators or rescues, not for individuals looking to rescue a shelter pet. That sort of transport must be arranged by the shelter or a rescue, who is then welcome to post to our Yahoo! group. We do not offer that ourselves. There are also commercial services available. Just be sure to check them out very, very thoroughly!
