Next transport leaving Indiana on Thursday, February 2, 20112 The CanINE Express Transport Project humanely transports shelter dogs from south central Indiana, -- areas with extreme pet overpopulation and high euthanasia rates due to kennel overcrowding -- to shelters in areas in our country where there is a need for well-socialized, healthy dogs. This instrastate project, that began with its maiden voyage in December 2004 and currently has more than 30 partner shelters, has successfully transported over 7,504 Indiana shelter dogs. A benefit that wasn’t visualized at the project’s beginning is that our partners have shared best sheltering practices including spay/neuter education, medical care, promoting adoptions, increasing volunteerism, and political activism to build and grow state legislation related to animal issues. Our project does not transport shelter dogs to private adopters, only to our receiving partner shelters in the Northeast. Since December, 2004, the number of Indiana shelter dogs transported to our New England Shelter and Rescue Partners: 6,507 and to the Cleveland Animal Protective League and Geauga Humane Society's Rescue Village: 997; for a total of 7,504.
