| Above and Beyond English Setter Rescue Transports - What Are They? |
| Five For Fighting Ten Miles From Nowhere |
| The following was written by Jane Grothusen, who is one of the coordinators for MoStar Transport. A&B uses MoStar to transport our Rescue Dogs to their forever homes. Volunteer transport drivers are ALWAYS needed. If you're interested, click on MoStar's link below. Thank you. |
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. Above and Beyond contacts MoStar Transports (us) and then the fun
begins.

We map out a thing called a transport run. This run
could cover anywhere from 120 miles to across the
entire country. Then I and Patti, the other
coordinator and the founder of MoStar, work on
getting 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.

Patti and I are in constant contact with each driver,
we monitor the transport 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, early 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. If a dog is
stressed, relaxed, anything.

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 volunteering for MoStar
would be the way I could help.
Patti and I have laughed, cried, 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.
