Transportation Guidelines
While we understand that you may not be able to drop
everything to participate in a transport we are looking for people that will be
committed to assisting us with transportation. If any of the following is
something that you are unable or unwilling to do, please do not submit an
application.
--Be a dedicated transport volunteer
--Stay overnight at a transport location if necessary
--House a pet overnight or in off chance up to a week
--Adhere to the rules below
To be a transporter with We Love Chinese Cresteds Animal Rescue you must read and agree to the following Guidelines.
Transporters must
• Be at least 21 years of age
• Have reliable transportation
• Have liability insurance and a good driving record
• Have a mobile phone and be available at all times during transport
Do not volunteer to drive if you are not committed to showing up on time on transport day. Relay transports cannot operate if there is a missing link in the chain, and the rescue animals suffer as a result. If an emergency arises that prevents you from driving, you must notify WLCCAR as soon as possible. Please be respectful of the entire team that has been assembled.
Removing an animal from a transport before it has reached the final destination indicated on this run sheet constitutes theft in all 50 states and will be reported to local, state, and/or federal law enforcement agencies. In addition, your name will be publicized on "Do Not Transport" lists that are widely circulated in the rescue and transport communities.
Transporter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless WLCCAR against any damages to transporter or third parties, as a result of an automobile accident, road construction, weather and/or the dog(s) that you are transporting, including but not limited to, property damage, accident, personal injury, death, losses, judgments, costs or expenses; transporter agrees to be solely responsible for the well-being of the animal(s) during the time the animal(s) is in his/her possession.
Transporter recognizes that working with animals places me at physical risk and is voluntarily taking that risk. Transporter also recognizes that dogs are animals, and may bite, scratch or carry disease. They may also cause damage to the transporters vehicle or personal property. The Transporter completely release and entirely discharges WLCCAR from any and all claims and causes of action that they or other third parties may have or bring relating to or arising from any injury or damage that they sustain while assisting WLCCAR or in connection with any aspect of volunteering for WLCCAR.
Rules for Transportation
Pets can get loose during transport. Our goal is to prevent this from happening. Please keep in mind that most of these pets have been abused, mistreated or neglected and are terrified of you and all that is happening around them. They will “take off” at the first opportunity.
Some will jump, twist and throw themselves around which often causes harnesses and collars to come off! To ensure that this does not happen to you and the pet that you are transporting, the following rules must be adhered to. Some may seem unnecessary but they are in the best interest of the pet. If you feel that you will not be able to comply with any of these requirements, please do not complete this application.
Transferring dogs from one vehicle to another
The initial introduction of the dog to the vehicle should start inside the home. Put the dog into the kennel prior to opening the door or going into a garage (even if the garage door is closed).
--The pickup transporter should, if the kennel is not coming with the dog, get into the vehicle that contains the dog, along with your kennel, shut the car door and transfer the dog from one kennel to the other. Once the door to the kennel is secure, you may transfer the dog to your vehicle.
This is the protocol for the next transfer point and so on.
If the trip is under 6 hours
The dog is not to be removed from the kennel. Remember, it is best to give a bath at the end versus the terror of having a pet get away from you.
If you are traveling overnight with a pet and must stay in a hotel
--The pet is not to be removed at any time from the kennel while the vehicles doors are open.
--The pet must be leashed and the harness/collar checked to ensure it is properly fitted prior to the doors being opened and the pet being allowed to exit the vehicle.
--At no time should the pet be transported in an open or enclosed truck flat bed, regardless of the pet being kenneled.
--The pet is not to be left alone in a vehicle that has been turned off during a “pit stop.”
--The pet must be contained within the kennel during transport from vehicle to room and room to vehicle
--Do not take the pet outside to potty, they must be contained within the room/bathroom with food, water and potty pads
--If you must leave your hotel room, please ensure that the pet is contained within the bathroom with food, water and potty pads before opening the hotel room door to leave. This ensures that the pet will not be standing at the door, waiting to exit the room when you return.
If you are asked to house a pet temporarily:
--The pet must be contained in a contained space within the home (either a spacious kennel or room)
--The pet must have access to food and water and be provided with an indoor potty area
--If you have a secure and completely fenced backyard the pet may be allowed outside, however, the pet must remain on leash and be supervised at all times.
Pet Requirements during Transport:
• Kennel
• Food/Water
• Food/Water Bowls
• Leash
• Harness (no slip/pull – such as Martingale or Sporn)
• Collar with identification (tags or visible markings)
• Towels or other types of absorbent materials (for use in the kennel as well as for cleanup)
• Basic First Aid Kit (optional but recommended)
Harness, collar and tags must remain on at all times. The collar must have identification affixed containing the transporter and foster home contact phone numbers. If you need to purchase an inexpensive collar and tag, please submit a receipt for reimbursement. Reimbursement will not be made on decorative collars and tags.
