John, you know me.

When it comes to transport, I think that is as important as us folks that serve as rescues. The mileage, the gas, and just droppng off the dog(s) and never seeing them again. And for so many transport folks, that give up there weekends to save a few dogs; you are the best.

Emily Garza
St Charles IL
2-3 hour radius of the Chicagoland area
I can always offer personal references

I have a Grand Cherokee and my husband has a pickup truck with an 8ft bed and a capper on it, so we can always fit large crates back there. Email is the best way to get ahold of me: me_n_kenzie@yahoo.com

Lisa J asmer
Minneapolis, MN
2-3 hour radius of Mpls

Overnight: emergencies only, must be ok around other dogs and cats

Not an official transport, but can offer references.

Note: I drive a 2 door honda civic, may not be able to fit crate in my car. (Crate could still travel with me, either put in trunk or folded down) Please take this into consideration, as the dog may need to be uncrated for the trip.

New email: DharKen@ymail.com

Also got rid of the pickup but replaced it with a minivan, so we still have the room in the back.

We now have a fenced in yard and can do overnights. Also have a crate we are keeping, but are not currently using if we would need it for transport. Overnights are fine as well.

Hi! Michelle Souto
Tinley Park, IL
I will go for a 2 hour radius, or more if an emergency arises!
I have not transported. I do have a minivan and a crate. I have had GSD's for over 9years. (I have been to the same vet about 7 of those years.) What other references would be good? Have been on this site for years, and commend all of you for your hard, heart wrenching work and dedication!
