Shelter Dog Transport Alliance is a partnership of over a dozen county animal shelters and rescues throughout the South. The nonprofit’s aim is to work together to ensure every shelter dog gets a second chance at life. A recent study by Best Friends Animal Society has North Carolina ranked #3 for the highest shelter euthanasia rate, behind only California and Texas. In order to tackle this statistic, Shelter Dog Transport Alliance is currently partnering with animal rescues in New England as well as Canada to relocate dogs to safety and into loving homes when local shelters become critically full.
