Doggy Railroad

About two years back, I stumbled over this list on Yahoo called the Dog Rescue Railroad. Essentially the purpose is to move dogs from rural shelters where there's often more dogs than there are resources (making them high kill shelters) to urban areas where there are more available people to adopt. Since most shelters don't have a dog bus hanging around, the Dog Rescue Railroad consists of a bunch of people who each take a leg of a trip (usually about an hour, one way) and then hand the dog(s) off to the next person on the list. And thus a dog in rural VA is delivered to a rescue group in Albany. I usually only do this once or twice a year. For one thing, we're on the road so much that the idea of driving even more, sucks. But in case there's anyone out there ready to be in the dog transport business, click the link above. And if you're ready to be in the foster biz like Mike & Laura (Hi guys! How's the sleeping going?), another interesting site is Rural Shelter Help.
