Many people may feel like they don’t have the time to commit to volunteering at shelters, or have the extra cash to donate. For these folks, and interesting idea may be volunteering to transport a rescued dog or cat to their new location. Typically, animals are moved from kill-shelters (ones that euthanize) to no-kill shelters when a spot opens up. But some folks volunteer to drive animals between shelters and foster homes or their new adoptive homes.
If the drive is short, you can taxi Fido the whole way there. If the trip is too long for you to make on your own, other volunteers can meet you to split up the journey. The next time you get the urge to take a leisurely drive, a road trip with your friends, or spend some time on the road with your family, consider chauffeuring a shelter animal to a new home.
