URGENT TRANSPORT - SATURDAY MAY 8TH - Warren, OH - Ottawa and Sarnia, ON

PLEASE CROSS POST

TRANSPORT FROM WARREN, OH TO OTTAWA, ON AND SARNIA, ON

Please make a copy of this run sheet and take it with you – ESPECIALLY if you are crossing the border.

Cell: 613-818-1237

Basic Protocol:

We will allow 15-20 minutes between legs to walk and water the dogs (though it isn't necessary to walk each dog at each stop!) It's very important to arrive at your meeting place by the beginning of the transfer period.

Please make sure you have extra collars and leashes, paper towels, Clorox wipes, newspaper, water bowls and water. Please also make sure your cell phone is CHARGED and ON. If you have time, photos during the run are always appreciated.

As always, allow the person with the dogs to do the transfer. Don't open the vehicle until every dog's leash is securely fastened; better yet, leave their leashes on in the crates so you have something to grab if necessary. Have a backup person behind you when you open the crate door and have a firm grip on the leash. Have some YUMMY treats available as bribes in case a dog gets loose (just don't let that happen!)

Please remember to transfer not only the dogs but also the paperwork. This is absolutely crucial!!!

As always, personal information on this run sheet is to be shared only among participants in this transport and is NOT for forwarding, sharing or cross posting.

THIS TRANSPORT WILL BE MONITORED BY NOELLE CUMMINGS. When you have successfully handed off the dogs to the next driver, please call Noelle at 613-818-1237 to let her know. Call also if you are running substantially early or late so we can pass the word to the drivers up the road, or if, heaven forbid, some crisis should occur.

************ ********IMPORTAN T******** ********* ***

EACH PASSENGER MUST TRAVEL WITH AN INDIVIDUAL HEALTH CERTIFICATE AND A RABIES CERTIFICATE SIGNED PERSONALLY IN INK BY A LICENSED VET. THESE PAPERS SHOULD BE IN AN ENVELOPE CLEARLY LABELED WITH THE DOG'S NAME AND THE NAME OF THE RECEIVING RESCUE. DO NOT PUT MULTIPLE DOGS ON THE SAME PAPERWORK. S/HE MUST ALSO HAVE A COLLAR, WHICH MUST BE LABELED WITH THE DOG'S NAME AND THE NAME AND CONTACT INFO OF THE RECEIVING RESCUE. S/HE SHOULD ALSO HAVE A STURDY LEASH SUITABLE TO HIS OR HER WEIGHT. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. DO NOT SEND A DOG ON THE TRANSPORT WITHOUT AN APPROPRIATELY LABELED COLLAR AND A PROPERLY LABELED ENVELOPE WITH THAT DOG'S (AND ONLY THAT DOG'S) PAPERWORK. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RECEIVING RESCUE TO WORK TOGETHER WITH THE SENDING SHELTER AND/OR BOARDING FACILITY TO MAKE SURE THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN PREPARED PRIOR TO TRANSPORT.

DOGS CANNOT BE TRANSPORTED IF THEY SHOW ANY SIGNS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE, e.g. COUGHING. ANY SHELTER VIOLATING THIS POLICY WILL BE BARRED FROM SENDING DOGS ON FUTURE TRANSPORTS, SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! DOGS GOING TO CANADA MUST NOT BE ACCOMPANIED BY ANTIBIOTICS FOR ANY SORT OF INFECTION. IF A DOG IS TRAVELING WITH MEDICATION OF ANY OTHER KIND, WE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 48 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE IN ORDER TO CLEAR THEM WITH THE VET AT THE CANADIAN BORDER.
