Car Magnets for rescue transports

Medley on Activities - Tue, September 02 2008

I got an e-mail from a transport organizer about a group that is having car magnets made for people who do rescue transports. They will say "Animal Rescue Transport Vehicle". I think these would be great for both cautioning other drivers that you have precious cargo as well as letting the other transport drivers find you easily. If you are interested in getting one, just pm me with your e-mail address and I'll forward you the ordering info.

How do you become a pet rescue transporter. I would love to do that. I just started doing some stuff with petshoppuppies.org but haven't heard much about doing rescues.

I got sucked in here on IP. lol Someone posted about needing to fill a couple of legs of the transort so I sent an e-mail the the coordinator. From then on I was on some sort of list that now I get notified anytime these particular rescues need help. The next time I hear of a transport, I'll let you know and give you the e-mail address of the coordinator in case you want to help. I have found transports to be very rewarding. Well, except for the one speeding ticket I got while doing one. hehehe

I think transporting a rescue animal should get you out of a ticket! You're doing a good deed for Heaven's Sake! I wouldn't mind doing a transport here and there. I never had carriers before, but I'm equipped now!!

I TOLD the State Trooper that I was doing a dog transport because he asked if the 2 VERY large, excited German Shepards in my car were friendly. I told him I wasn't absolutely certain because they weren't mine, but I couldn't imagine a rescue sending them to their forever homes if they were mean.He didn't seem to care about the transport, he just didn't want to get bit....

Don't get me wrong, I WAS speeding, I just didn't realize it. Now, I set the cruise control. lol

I have never done a transport, but I do have a magnet on our Tahoe that says "Pet Taxi"!! With 6 furbabies, that's what we feel like!

To Shari and anyone else interested in transports: I got involved with pet transport by signing up for the animal transport network on yahoo groups. I get a daily digest with all the transports in the works by other members or people they are crossposting for. If I reply to one, whether or not I end up doing the transport the coordinators usually ask if they can keep my info for future transports and I say yes.

Jerry's car has a magnet like that but it has a Doxie picture and says Dachshund Taxi Service. So appropriate!
