From Coalition of Animal Rescue Transporters
The mission of the Coalition of Animal Rescue Transporters (CART) is to collaborate and share opportunities to transport rescue animals from shelters and rescues to the same in other states that have more adoption demand than in the Coalition members_ home area.
CART acts as a service provider to Coalition members, assisting with:
_ Client management _ finding new destination partners and finalizing transport relationships
_ Initial transport planning and logistics
_ Maintenance of Best Practice Standards, developing a high-quality transport program shared by members, and
_ Funding primarily by grants from third parties.
The objective of this Coalition is to provide a meaningful collaboration to increase lifesaving and meet shared missions. This collaboration represents a relationship beyond simple transfer of animals and includes opportunities for information sharing, educational assistance, and other efforts. The organization is a cooperative venture between animal welfare organizations to help individual animals and weave a stronger safety net for animals.
How is your community doing when it comes to lifesaving?
Our partners support each other and inspire their own communities to increase lifesaving of dogs and cats across the country.
