Hello,
I just started a non profit animal rescue organization. My plan is to buy (or acquire) a small Class C RV to transport Phoenix shelter dogs to other shelters in states where they will get adopted more quickly. I will only be doing two to three long distance transports a year. I want something under 21 feet. Any recommendations?
I have never owned an RV before and I will be doing all the driving on my own. ThanksSue
If you are buying the RV so you don't have to stay at motels?
2 or 3 trips per year doesn't justify the cost of buying/maintaining/storing a MH.
Most CG's have number of dog allowed, weight limit of dogs, and banned breed restrictions.
IMHO, JMHO
'planning' on taking in dogs to ship to other states is not an appropriate way to practice rescue. It spreads infectious diseases, etc.,etc. Not to mention you need to look into 'interstate transportation of dogs'. Albiet you will not be regulated by the Federal AWA act, but if by chance you get pulled over with numerous dogs in your vehicle as shelter relocations and they see just one infraction, it will quickly come into question that you are in violation of not having a license for interstate transportation of animals. And being a non-profit is not going to get you out of it. Just saying.
