Our project does not transport Indiana shelter dogs to private adopters, only to our receiving shelter partners in Cleveland, northwest Illinois, northern Indiana, and the Northeast.
The CanINE Express Transport Project humanely transports shelter animals from south central Indiana, — areas with pet overpopulation — to shelters in areas in our country where there is a need for well-socialized, healthy cats and dogs. This interstate project, that began with its maiden voyage in December 2004 and currently has more than 30 partner shelters, has successfully transported 12,736 Indiana shelter dogs and 1,707 shelter cats. 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.
