What a wonderful organization! The sheer work involved in driving these dogs from Oklahoma to Oregon is awe-inspiring! I volunteered to take photos of the dogs for their social media and it was amazing to meet and watch all the dogs get an individual walk on their break from the trip. They have been able to rescue hundreds of dogs from crowded shelters and find them new homes in the Pacific Northwest.

I have been involved with Furry Freight for about a year and believe their cause is SO important for the dogs. As a former Oklahoma resident I realize the enormous need to help the overcrowding of the shelters. There are so many dogs euthanized because there is no room in lots of states. I am glad Furry Freight is helping as many as possible.

The work that Furry Freight does is incredible! Moving at risk dogs across the country is no small feat. Giving dogs a second chance at the life they deserve is selfless work and I am so thankful they do it. Being a volunteer for this non profit is really rewarding. The people are wonderful and the mission is important.

Furry Freight is an amazing idea, transporting dogs from high kill shelters across the US to shelters in the Pacific Northwest that are eager to have them and able to find loving families for them!

Furry Frieght is exactly the kind of nonprofit that the world needs right now! Given the shelter crisis we are facing in America right now, Furry Freight helps provide life saving transportation for animals from over crowded areas to areas where they are more easily adopted! Kim and her team have helped save so many animals and will continue to be able to do so with the help of our generous community!

Kim and Furry Freight transport and save hundreds of dogs. They do an exemplary job of connecting rescues in over populated areas with rescues in under populated areas so they can partner and choose to transfer animals. Furry Freight then does the actual transport, with exacting standards of care and safety for the animals.

I contacted Kim wanting to learn more about how I might be able to help save dogs from overcrowded shelters and bring them to the Pacific Northwest where there are many ready and willing adopters.
I was incredibly impressed with Kim’s thorough understanding of the process, how to gauge the true areas of need, fundraising, execute and run crazy long transports all for the love of rescue animals. Realizing she was already doing the work I was interested in, I signed up to volunteer with her and help transport dogs. Very impressive organization,!

I helped volunteer with Furry Freight when they had a transport come into town. The way the volunteers handled setting up, breaking down and caring for the animals was top notch. The amount of care and effort that goes into making sure the animals they are transporting are cared for is clear. I enjoyed working with the team and definitely will be back to help out more! Thanks Kim!

Furry Freight does amazing things for shelter dogs in overpopulated or high risk areas and transports them to areas where they have a higher likelihood of being adopted. Such a simple concept but, together with its shelter partners, Furry Freight makes a huge difference in the life of a shelter dog.

Furry Freight Shelter Transport takes great care to protect the animals in transport including their initial selection, paperwork requirements, transport safety, and rescue partner delivery. Their mission stays on focus and they have clever fundraising ideas. It's a pleasure to be involved.

The founder and volunteers of Furry Freight Shelter Transport are true animal heroes, literally saving the lives of hundreds of dogs (and cats too!). With so many overcrowded shelters in problem areas farther south, Kim partnered with shelters in the Pacific Northwest who had space and loving homes waiting, that wanted to adopt them. Kim has created an impressive transport operation, from the fundraisers to the meticulous kennel sanitizing. I fully trust that all donations are spent wisely and efficiently, truly going towards saving the lives of animals.

I recently participated with Furry Freight for their annual fundraiser. This is a 3 day yard sale with donations from 60+ community organizations and individuals. All Furry Freight funds support transport of dogs and cats from high population shelters in Oklahoma and Texas to Oregon for adoption.
This is an organization built on dedicated leadership and a supportive network of volunteers. I look forward to continuing my association this animal rescue Foundation.

this last weekend I witnessed the amazing dedication of Furry Freight volunteers holding their annual garage sale to raise money to rescue animals from shelters where they would otherwise be euthanized. This garage sale is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen and labor that goes into the preparation, running and dismantling of it is a testimony to the devotion these volunteers have when it comes to saving animals lives.

It was simply destiny that brought me to volunteer at Furry Freight and I can’t say enough good things about it. Saving furry friends that would otherwise be doomed to some other fate is what it’s all about. All the volunteers I’ve met, working at the annual yard sale, cleaning crates after transporting and during transport are meticulous about the care of animals and adamant about the efforts and fundraising going directly to the care of the animals.

When Furry Freight Shelter Transport heard of the terrible animal welfare crisis happening in Oklahoma they came to help.
I'm sure it takes them so much planning to make these long trips from Oregon to Oklahoma and back while exceeding the guidelines for animal health and safety during transport.
As a volunteer in Oklahoma I cannot express my immense gratitude to Furry Freight for saving so many Oklahoma pets who are unwanted and dumped at local shelters, and bringing them safely to partner shelters in Oregon to find their forever homes!

I’ve volunteered for this organization for many years. Opportunities for volunteerism include community bingo, yard sales, can drives, crate maintenance, and other fun fundraising activities. All effort and proceeds go to supporting transport of adoptable shelter pets from areas where we are needed most.
