The following is an example of how rescue gets dogs in need from far away shelters. The following is posted to nationwide lists and wonderful volunteers dedicate their free time to help us transport.
At times, we do utilize paid transporters or offer private drivers funds to help us when a life is on the line and a volunteer transport doesn't fill.
Transport saves lives! If you can help transport, please contact VolunteerCoordinator@RuffLifeRescue.org with TRANSPORT in the subject line. You will be added to our list and will be contacted when there is a need in your area. Thank you! ******************************************************************************************************
