So you want to adopt/foster/rescue an animal, but live far away? Contact one of these transportation services, dedicated to transporting animals to new rescues, fosters, and forever homes. Here you will find transport organizations and groups, yahoo groups, and mailing lists. Some are nationwide, while some only cover certain regions or states. Some are breed-specific, while others are all-breeds and/or all-animals. There are also some that specialize in special needs and senior dogs, as well as last minute rescues.
