This adorable Rotty pup along with its siblings were rescued from the woods in Chocowinity, North Carolina three weeks ago nearly dead. 

Thanks to the help of J&J Rescue their future is much brighter.  All dogs including two adult Labs were flown from Washington, North Carolina to Rhode Island where they will spend time recuperating prior to being placed for adoption. 

As many rescues and shelters battle with overcrowding some have found alternatives.  How does your shelter or rescue transport pets?  Do you have a transporting group of volunteers willing to assist? 

Many shelters are thinking outside of the box when it comes to finding innovative ways to save lives.  PetPoint has created a forum that allows shelters to communicate about transporting needs.  Feel free to check it out and get chatting with others of how we can all make a difference in the lives of shelter pets.
