Did you know that each Ruff Start Rescue transport costs, on average, around $5,000?
Today, we are asking you to help us sponsor 31 dogs as they make their way north! C.H. Robinson has agreed to match up to $2,500 to sponsor the next bundle of pups coming our way on August 27th.
Every time we transport dogs from overly populated areas in the Houston, Texas, area, it costs us roughly $5,000. With each transport we run, we can save 28-34 dogs – many of which go directly into adoptive homes thanks to our ever-growing Foster-to-Adopt program! The expenses we incur include initial vaccinations, routine veterinary care, and health certificates for the dogs to ensure safe travel. We also garner costs related to travel such as gas, insurance, vehicle maintenance for the van, volunteer lodging, and more!

We are so grateful for the opportunity to help these animals make their way from overpopulated and underfunded shelters in Texas to caring homes here in Minnesota. This wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and dedication of so many supporters. Thank you for your help in sponsoring second chances!
Thanks to C.H. Robinson for their support of this transport!
