    Description

    Transport Pets to Safety from Domestic Violence

    Thank you for your interest in helping to transport animals for Ahimsa House! Our network of animal transporters helps us get pets to safety, drive them from the vet to their foster homes, and reunite them with their families once it's safe to do so. There is nothing better than seeing the joy on the faces of both a family and their pet when you reunite them at the end of the pet's stay with us!

    Being a transport volunteer requires some patience and tolerance for the unexpected. It is also important to understand that the animals that come into our care may be fearful or aggressive due to abuse. You do not need to be an expert about animals, but for everyone's safety, we require that all animals be contained during transport (leash and/or crate for dogs; carriers/cages for cats and other small animals), and we strongly recommend that all dogs be crated in the vehicle. Ahimsa House can provide these supplies if needed.

    Thank you again for considering joining our transport team! Please contact us if you have any questions, or to get started on the application, visit:
