Animal Rescue Transport this weekend

[tristanichole]

What is a Transport?
It's like a rescue "relay". This is an all volunteer based, leg-to-leg transport that you will see posted in this group. No one involved with these transports receives payment of any kind. It is much like a relay race, except instead of passing a baton, the drivers are passing dogs, sometimes cats. They can be as long or as short as needed. Kelly Gibson from CA coordinates these and they are nation-wide. She has moved dogs from GA to CA, FL to VT, TX to IL, and a lot of places in between. If you are interested in helping, all of the information you will need will be available right here.

I'll continue to post updates as they happen...

Kansas City, KS to East Prairie, MO
and
East Prairie, MO to Marcus Hook, PA
and
Mountain Grove, MO to Milwaukee, WI
June 20 & 21​

This may look confusing on paper, so please feel free to visit the map of this transport. Essentially, 3 transports are meeting in St Louis. From there, 1 group of dogs is heading south to temp rescue in East Prairie, MO. The other 2 transports are merging and heading east to Indianapolis together where they will then split and go their separate ways.

Even though we are moving 5 dogs on this transport this weekend, at no time are their more than 3 travelling together

CROSSPOSTING GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

[3CsMommy]

Shoot. They're going too far south for us to help out this time, but if there's ever one heading through the northern parts of OH and PA (Cleveland, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Erie), let me know.

 

[tristanichole]

I will for sure! I plan on continuing to post runs on this same thread. I'll keep you in mind.

 

[alli713]

Well I'm not sure if they ever need someone to run from the Twin Cities to Appleton/Green Bay WI, but I travel that route at least once a month and wouldn't mind bringing a dog somewhere.

 

[Ash]

If I didn't have to work and had my own car, I'd def help with the Carlisle to Lancaster

 

[tristanichole]

Thanks everyone. Just keep your eye open for what goes on. I'll keep everyone updated on this run and I'll post the new weekly run as they come. There is literally one every single weekend. These dogs travel such great distances to be saved.

ETA: There are also groups on Yahoo that you can join and get tons of different runs that are going on.
On The Road Again
and
Dog Rescue Railroad
are the two that I am part of.

I will only be posting the runs for Kelly Gibson as the groups on Yahoo post so many I wouldn't be able to keep up with them all, but if you're interested in seeing what else is running currently, I suggest you join those groups.

Volunteers hit the road to save animals
By Isabel Sanchez
Albuquerque Journal
Friday, June 19, 2009
http://http://www.abqjournal.com/vet/192116321387vet06-19-09.htm

The passengers: two black Labs whose owners in Santa Fe lost their home to foreclosure, a mixed breed found in a Hobbs ditch, filthy and covered with ticks, and maybe 100,000 other dogs across the country, from Connecticut to California.

Their rides: volunteers from coast to coast who give up their weekends, and often more, to transport dogs and the occasional cat from near death, such as their scheduled euthanization, to a good life.

Their tickets: the Internet, news groups, e-mail and the old standby, the telephone.

“This sweet precious girl is out of time,” writes a rescue volunteer whose post appears on an animal welfare news group, NMpetrescue. The dog, a border collie mix, is in Oklahoma.

Where she goes, and with whom, could be left to chance, in hopes someone somewhere reads the post and offers to give the dog a home. But volunteers whose mission is to save pets, even one at a time, have developed a system.

That system is a series of one- or two-hour legs between towns, in which driver and passengers go to city A, meet another volunteer who drives the animals to city B, and so on. Organizing such transports is also the work of coordinators like Kelly Gibson, a San Diego accountant who saves lives by never leaving her desk. The transport system could not exist without the Internet.

Out there, in the real world, are thousands and thousands of dogs and cats marked for death, for no other reason than they’ve been abandoned in one way or another. Some people literally leave them behind. Others let them go.

Also out there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of people determined to ensure the dogs and cats get to good homes. Many belong to rescue groups, some concentrating on certain breeds, that patrol the shelters for pets about to be put down. Many operate independently, finding homes for the dogs or cats they foster. All are connected by the Internet: news groups like NMpetrescue, e-mail, Web sites.

“These three were thrown away and now they face dying very, very soon,” says a post (“Yes, I am still begging for someone to help save …”) by Terry Lynn Fisher, a rescuer in Burns Flat, Okla., who fosters more dogs than she can keep. “They were picked up in an abandoned house … along with 11 other dogs” that were later taken in by rescue groups.

In short, what saves the dogs is what the Internet so instantly provides: information.

Fisher’s plea to save the three dogs was answered, she says — after three years of salvaging dogs that others gave up, “I’ve not lost one yet.” She says she’s saved 800 or so dogs in the three years she’s been involved with transports.

Gibson spends about 100 hours a week, she figures, creating routes and coordinating volunteers. A recent transport of two beagles in Georgia that were to go to homes in Phoenix, and a “puggle,” or pug-beagle mix, in Tulsa, Okla., that was to go to San Diego, took 22 legs. The run sheet Gibson posted, with a request for volunteers for legs from Amarillo to Tucumcari, has 22 entries that look like this:

LEG 16: Tucumcari, NM to Albuquerque, NM
2 beagles & puggle girl
176 miles; 2 hrs 30 min
3:30 PM – 6 PM MDT
Filled — thank you Charlie!!

The run sheet contains more — “passenger information,” about shots, temperament, crate size — and contact numbers and e-mail addresses for the receivers, who might be rescue groups, a no-kill shelter with room for more animals, a foster home or potential adopter.

Gibson coordinates at least one transport a weekend, sometimes two or three or four. That’s “thousands” of animals over the past three years, she says. “That’s just me alone. With everybody combined, and there’s about 40 coordinators that I know of, it’s hundreds of thousands.”

The numbers of volunteers who do the driving is unknown — the system is efficient but informal.

“It’s organized chaos,” says Dave Sarver of Tijeras. “Kelly Gibson is an absolute master at this.”

Sarver was just back from a trip to Clovis and back, thinking he’d pick up two dogs that were to be euthanized at a shelter there, but wound up with four dogs and three kittens. He left Albuquerque at 5:30 a.m. and returned at 8:30 p.m. to meet the next driver on the transport. Sarver’s trip is not typical — although Gibson at first scheduled six-hour legs and now limits them to an hour or two.

Susan Renick, meanwhile, takes her family along. Renick, of the Sandoval County-based Second Chance Animal Rescue, also fosters dogs before they find permanent homes.

There’s a great need for more people in New Mexico to volunteer, she says, and when you combine a transport with a family outing, it’s fun.

“A lot of people, once they do it the first time, they get hooked,” Sarver says.

“It’s so, so easy. It’s the absolute easiest way to save a life.”

NOTE!!!
I have volunteered to help Kelly get the word out, so from now on, I'll be posting runs in the "other pets" section on here every single week. Anyone at all who is able to help out with anything, get in touch with Kelly right away! Over the last 3 months or so I have helped so many animals get to their next leg and not just for Kelly either, but I've set up some of my own doing the transport by myself. In 2009 I have transported 1 dog from my own set up, 1 dog from recent transport by Kelly, 14 (all at once in my car) of the 27 dogs that were on the transport a few months ago, 1 cat that I set up myself, and 8 kittens from a recent transfer = 25 lives saved in the last few months alone. Its so much fun to do, so any help you can give is greatly appreciated!! I haven't had one transport come through my own town yet...I usually travel 30 minutes to a little over an hour just to pick up the dogs, and then I drive around an hour to the next leg, and usually an hour home...its a few hours out of your weekend to help save lives :thumbsup:

Will they be neutered / spayed before transport? I've been involved with some transports out of GA and I thought they had to be fully vetted before crossing state lines? So happy for these dobes. GA shelters seem to be full of them and everything else

 

[eroomlorac]

I may be able to do Rockford to Madison, depending on the time of day. I would like to help this doggie along.

DUH! Okay, I see the time posted now.

Tristanichole -- Instead of starting 20 new threads every day on the same subject, please just combine them here. I've had several people mention that it is really clogging up their search for new posts.

We greatly appreciate you participating in these rescue runs, and it's always wonderful to help out any animal in need, but this is primarily a chinchilla/hedgehog forum, so please try and contain it as much as possible to this one thread.

A lot of them are not because they've been dumped and are about to be put to sleep...the shelters usually don't care about doing this because they were just going to put them down anyways...so instead, they go to loving foster homes where they get all the care they need.

With all do respect, I started one thread last week, and posted 4 this week...that isn't 20...4 runs is extremely rare; normally there is only 1 or 2. I'm not clogging up the chins section, I'm using the "other pets" section, which is what it is there for. I don't mean to get upset, but really...who is going to want to weed through page after page of not only transport posts, but other people's responses to see if there are new transports? So, that's why I posted a few different threads...so that people could check out each one and see if there is something they'd like to do...its organized, it's clean cut...I just can't see posting new runs on one large thread...its ridiculous and quite frankly...if it was someone else posting this, I wouldn't even bother looking at the thread anymore...it's going to get entirely too long and time consuming to sort through.
I know this is primarily a chins and hedgies forum, but this forum also has a smaller amount of people...the dog forum that I participate in has 20 new pages of posts every single day...no one is going to see it there. I thought this would be a better network of people.
I hope you understand where I'm coming from and why I see that this doesn't make sense to me.

Tristanichole - Would the four threads you posted today be the last you ever post on CnH about these rescue situations? I assume not, hence the "20 posts" comment. We ask that people in the family section regarding health or any other ongoing issue post to the same thread. They don't have a problem with it, why would you?

The forum is free to the members. It isn't free to the people who own it. Every thread takes up bandwidth, which raises the price of running it. Much like shutting off a light when you leave a room, every little bit helps. Is it too much to ask that you combine all of your rescue information to one thread?
