COULD YOU BE A TRANSPORTER?
We are always looking for help to transport our dogs. Many of the dogs are very traumatised
so they need handling very gently and sympathetically in order to get them to their foster homes
with the least possible stress to them.…
Cars/vans should be very secure, preferably with dog guards or crates.
As the dogs often come without a collar or lead, and for extra security, we use soft slip leads
to move the dogs between vehicles and into their new homes.

The dogs will have had a long journey and are often hungry and thirsty, but it is better to leave feeding
them until they arrive at their new home. However tidbits are usually
gratefully received and can help to entice them into your vehicle.
It is better to give small amounts of water rather than a huge amount all at once.

TOILETTING
Dogs will probably also need a little walk and toiletting before carrying on with their journey.
Help is needed in most areas of the UK and particularly on weekdays but more help on weekends
would help to spread the load for our current transporters.
If you think you could help us, please fill in and submit the form below.
Thank you.
