| What Transporting is All About A video of a few transports was made by Tiffany and can be viewed HERE. It's well worth the "watch" as it really brings it ALL home! BECOME A TRANSPORTER, SAVE A LIFE!!! |
So you have been hearing all about rescue
dogs going from the shelter to their foster
home to their forever home and are
wondering how this all happens?
Well, get a cup of coffee, sit down and let us
tell you how this all happens.
First it all starts out when Above and Beyond
is notified of a Setter that needs to be
rescued, this Setter could be in a bad home,
could of been found running the streets,
or in a shelter. That is when Donna, Alan and
I get to work.
We map out a thing called a transport run.
This run could cover anywhere from 120 miles
to across the entire country. Then one of us
gets to work on finding drivers to help
out. It is like putting together a very big
puzzle. Each driver signs up to drive anywhere
from 45 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes and
with the help of these wonderful volunteers,
these poor pups make their way to happier
times. The best part of coordinating
transports is when a new adoptive family calls
us to let us know that they have gotten their
dog and it was love at first sight.
Alan, Donna and I are in constant contact
with each driver, we monitor the transports
and if there is anything that these drivers
need to call us about, we are only a phone call
away. We like to know what is going on with
each and every driver. The transport could be
running late or early, and we need to keep
everyone in touch with each other. We get
calls to let us know that the dog(s) have been
handed off from one driver to another. Or a
call if a dog is stressed, relaxed, or anything
else.
I originally started volunteering with A&B and
I wanted to foster. Because I have a house
full of animals in my home it soon became
apparent that I was going to be unable to do
that. So still wanting to help out, I decided
that doing the transports was the way I was
able to help.
We have laughed, cried and yelled at each
other, but I would not give it up for the
world. These poor pups need our help and I
try to help as many as possible. So the next
time you hear about a transport going
through your area, e-mail the coordinator and
see if you can help them out. I guarantee you
that you will meet some of the nicest people
and eternally grateful animals.
