Your Support Matters
At Take Me Home Transport, we are 100% dependent on donations and sponsors to fund our lifesaving transport missions. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us give dogs a second chance at life and ensures they find loving homes. Here’s how you can make a difference:
Financial Support
Your donations are crucial for covering the costs of transporting dogs from overcrowded shelters to no-kill rescues with adoption waitlists. Consider making a one-time donation or becoming a monthly sponsor to support our ongoing efforts. Every dollar makes a significant impact!
Social Media Support
Spreading the word about our mission is vital to our success. You can help by liking and following us on Facebook and Instagram. Share our photos, stories, and updates with your community to raise awareness and encourage more people to get involved. Together, we can create a ripple effect of support.
Short-Term Foster
Sometimes, we need to place dogs in foster homes for a short period of time (4-14 days usually) prior to their transport. Fostering is a rewarding way to provide a safe, temporary home for a dog in need. If you have space in your home and heart, consider becoming a short-term foster. Your care and love can make all the difference in a dog’s journey to their forever home.
Periodically there are dogs who are heartworm positive that need to go through treatment before they can leave on transport. Treatment is provided. All they need is a soft landing place until they are heartworm free (2-5 months usually). Unfortunately these dogs often land at the top of the euthanasia list in some shelters simply because there aren’t the resources to handle their specific need of a short term foster home while undergoing treatment.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering is a fantastic way to support our cause and get involved in our mission. Whether it’s helping with transport coordination, fundraising events, or hands-on activities with the dogs, your time and effort are invaluable to us. Join our team of dedicated volunteers and make a tangible impact in the lives of these animals.
