Next transport leaving Indiana on Thursday, March 4, 2010 The CanINE Express is an all-volunteer project that transports shelter dogs from partnership shelters/rescue groups in Indiana to New England partnership shelters/rescue groups. New England has done a terrific job with spay/neuter programs over the past 20 years and now can accept dogs from other areas of the country to place in adoptive homes. Once a month, our volunteers transport 80-90 dogs in a caravan of 4-5 cargo vans - it's quite a sight on the highway! Since December, 2004 the number of Indiana shelter dogs transported to: Our New England Shelter and Rescue Partners: 4,887 The Cleveland Animal Protective League: 580 Grand total: 5,467 A big thank you to Tim Galey, Brittnie Grissom, and the wonderful team at Ace Rent A Car! Kudos to volunteers at the Cleveland Animal Protective League whose volunteers help us walk the dogs along the route each month! As always, many thanks to Gwen and Larry Blair for driving each month! Also, many thanks to the PETCO Foundation. PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PETS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS AND UNWANTED ANIMALS IN OUR SHELTERS!!!
