We have only been running since August 2008 but the results have been nothing short of amazing.

 

Let me explain how this all works. We work with shelters that have the capability to quarantine. The shelters quarantine the dogs for us and take them to the vet. In return we have predicated rescues that will take the dogs. Our shelters have secured special vet pricing and the dogs are taken care of while they are in quarantined.

 

The rescues pay for vetting and in-house services (i.e.: worming, dhlpp, albon etc) but not for boarding. Believe it or not, I had a bunch of shelters jump at the chance to move their dogs to rescue with little or no muss or fuss.

 

When you tag a dog we pull them from the shelter as soon as we can. That could be a few days depending on what we currently have isolated at our homes. Those pups are kept in foster/quarantine homes for a minimum of 14 days. They are wormed as soon as we get them home and then again the week before the transport. We use both Pyrantel and Panacur for worming. We will email you a vet sheet showing the pups you tagged and the cost due based on what procedures you required for them.

 

They will have at least 1 set of shots before transport. They will come with a medical record.

 

Between 9 and 5 days before the transport date we take them to the vet for their health certificates. The vet will have a copy of the vet sheet that you have so that everyone knows, up front, what the charges are. On that day we will call you and you will need to call the vet and pay the charges, in full, by credit card.

 

We have secured low cost vetting. We make sure the dogs are healthy. Once tagged and the quarantine time is up, I do volunteer transport to you, or if you have another method we can make sure the dogs get where you need them. You would be responsible for the last leg in.

 

If crates are required, you will need to furnish those.

 

This program is not for everyone. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please feel free to inquire..

All puppies under 6 months old and all dogs under 30# MUST HAVE A CRATE SUPPLIED. All dogs/puppies must travel with a health certificate.

Disclaimer: This association is set up in the hopes that it will cut down on rescues receiving sick animals. We try to cover all bases and send the healthiest animals possible. Please note that this does not guarantee that the animals are not harboring a sickness that has not broke and therefore can not be determined.

 

It is implied that the tagging rescue accepts provisional ownership of the dogs. The rescue provides funds for medical  and list the animal on their rescue site for adoption. While the dog is in shelter care however, shelter has the liability for bites, escaping dogs etc as that falls under "in your care supervision". Much as it would be for a boarding kennel. In the event of an emergency, shelter will do what is best for the dog.


We are an all volunteer-based group so the transport goes if the legs fill, if it does not fill, it will be rescheduled until filled or until you cancel the transport. As stated this is an ALL Volunteer based group we are NOT a 501(c)3, we do not charge a fee for transport, but do accept donations through PayPal, the account is GetMeTherePlease@gmail.com (Click Personal when you send so there are no fees charged ) all monies donated go to helping sponsor transports with Gas Funds. It is suggested that you make a gas donation for every transport requested..If a driver needs money I need to give it to them and I will not take it out of my pocket..If a driver doesn’t need money on your port it will go to gas money trying to save others..THIS IS DEDICATED GAS MONEY FOR TRANSPORTS.





Rescues tagging puppies MUST take the mom if the puppies have one.

 

Rescues must pull older dogs also, not just puppies. This program is not a puppy broker program. We are trying to save all the animal not just the babies.
