Charity Transports Shelter Dogs in Style
"...Jodie Martin of Rescue Waggin' unloads a dog from one of the specially designed trucks used to haul animals across the highways from crowded shelters where they're likely to put to sleep to facilities where they have better chances of being adopted."
"Moving animals in search of adoptive homes is not a new idea, but the scale of this program is unprecedented."
"Our community has always generated more animals than can be adopted, making it verydifficult for us to find homes for all of them. Upon learning about PetSmart Charities'plan to help homeless dogs have a second chance at finding a forever home, we were very excited to join the Rescue Waggin' team. Since joining the team in April of 2007,we have saved 192 lives. The Rescue Waggin' program helps relieve the over-crowding conditions at our facility, allowing us more time to focus on new arrivals that area waiting adoption."
