Would you help transport small rescued dogs?
Hi all, This is a feeler posting to see what type of response we receive. I work with HALO Animal Rescue in Phoenix. We are a 501(c)3 non profit that is racing toward saving 10,000 dogs and cats...

Raindove, Thanks for your comments, it sounds like you have had quite the experiences in the rescue community!
Currently we have a relationship with Dog Is My CoPilot and fly as many as 20 dogs at a time on a small private plane. This method is effective, but costly.
Thanks for not taking offense to my comments. Not trying to be a nay-sayer -- just trying to share some experiences.
Mark, May I ask... is this HALO group taking up the slack from Castoff Cockers? If I remember correctly Diana was active in Maricopa County. When she passed I was told that the dogs would be placed and then the rescue disbanded. I think she was affiliated with that Dog is my CoPilot, too.
Edit: Code2High had some good points. An orientation for potential transporters would be excellent.... explaining how to handle the rescue dogs and precautions to take when exercising them. Also cleaning supplies, incontinence pads etc.... things to make clean up easier for the transporter. Just explaining rescue dog behaviors to transporters and what can happen -- being prepared can avert problems. Better than going in to it thinking the dogs are like any other household pet and being shocked when something happens.
