8. Please read and answer the following if you are interested in transporting dogs. Some dogs adopted through our organization will need to be transported to a foster home. This will require travel to/from the transport locations, which can possibly incur gas and toll costs. It also requires putting a strange dog in your vehicle, so a crate or confined area is recommended. Sometimes the dog will experience motion sickness or other events that could make a mess in your vehicle.
  • Check if you have a valid driver's license
  • Check if you have a vehicle to travel to/from transport locations
  • Check if you have a crate or other means to restrain the dog in your vehicle
