Transport Agreement

Many of us like checklists to remind us of details that we might otherwise forget.  Here's one for transport.  All transport drivers must read and agree to the below instructions for transporting a NEWFFLA dog. 

We have a well-established rescue transport protocol for the safety and welfare of our precious passengers and their wonderful drivers. The following checklist for transport is created after YEARS AND YEARS of rescue dog transport experience, and all volunteers are committing to review and use ACTIVELY before and during transport.  If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact the Rescue Chair.

BEFORE:

• Bring your cell phone and charger, and keep your phone ON at least one hour before your planned departure from home.
• Bring extra leashes to use on your dog in your vehicle.
• Bring some water and bowl(s) to offer dogs at meet locations. Bring dog treats if you want. (Healthy ones, please)
• Bring some towels and/or hand wipes and a trash bag.
• Bring an extra vehicle key and keep it on your person.
• Cover your seats and/or cargo area with something to protect from accidents and messes.
• We advise that due to the uncertainty of the dog being transported, it may be best to bring your own dogs. Always check with the Rescue Chair first.

DURING TRANSPORT:

• Inventory all items that were given to you by the owner or the transporter.
• Check the security of each dog BEFORE opening any of your doors, including the cargo area. 
• Do NOT open your window. Dogs can jump out and escape or strangle themselves. Do NOT leave any of your doors open while attending to other dogs.

THANK YOU for your willingness to help these amazing dogs get to their foster or adoptive homes. We couldn't do what we do without volunteers like YOU!!!
