We Go the Distance to Relocate Adoptable Pets

Your Donation
Gives Second Chances

Relocating adoptable pets is one of the best ways to prevent needless euthanasia due to shelter overcrowding or lack of resources. It also provides access to critical medical care and gives pets a better chance at finding loving homes.

A second chance.

While national transport can take many hours and thousands of miles, the ASPCA’s experience is safe and secure. Animals travel in customized, climate-controlled vehicles designed specifically to provide safe animal relocation.

Most importantly, these relocation efforts give dogs, cats, and horses the medical care and rehabilitation they need, and a better chance of finding homes.
