Here's a worthwhile organization in our area that you may not know about. Every week, the Shelter Dog Transport Alliance partners with over a dozen county shelter systems that are experiencing overcrowding and are in need of valuable shelter space. When these shelters are at capacity, the Shelter Dog Transport Alliance safely transports shelter animals to Northern rescue partners where forever homes anxiously await them. Because of strict spay/neuter laws, these Northern states have tackled pet overpopulation and now can open their homes and hearts to shelter dogs in our area.

There are many ways you can help the Shelter Dog Transport Alliance, including making a donation, helping with a transport or being a short-term foster. For more information visit https://www.shelterdogtransportalliance.com/
