My first question is whether we have a place on the board to ask about whether there is anyone in a particular area who wants to help with rescue transports we are trying to fill. Or whether we are allowed to do that at all. So someone fill me on on whether it is allowed. I am not a coordinator, just someone on the list for a couple rescues who helps out when transports are nearby.

We are doing one this weekend and are short some legs in MS and AL, so I thought I would ask here to see if we are allowed to post anything about them. if we are, i will be more specific. If not, I wanted to ask before asking. Thanks!

Go right ahead. We have rec'd permission before to post these, so go ahead. If you want to be more specific about which parts of the state, that's fine, and then other details can take place in PMs.

Kudos for doing this. Several other members here do this too.

If you can help, please send all offers to Michelle at schezv@hotmail.com. All legs and times are flexible. Even if you can only drive a partial leg, please send and I will try to accommodate any offer. Cross posting is permitted and greatly appreciated. Please do NOT cross post on Craigslist.

Transport is for 3 -8 week old rat terrier pupppies, 4 cairn/westie mixes-3 yrs old, and a newfie mix-45 lbs The newfie gets out at the Columbia, TN stop, and the others get dropped along the way. I can provide more details if you are interested.


**15 minutes have been added to each leg for transferring of pups.

I can provide more details if you are interested.

Via PM.

Thank you!

Did I post too much info here? If I misunderstood Connie, feel free to edit.








MOD NOTE: You're fine! I was just saying that questions for you should go to PMs.
