Review for Mobile Mutts Rescue Transports, Champaign, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am the President and Transport Coordinator for Mobile Mutts Rescue Transports. Like so many in our group I started off as a driver after learning about MMRT when our adopted Basset Hound Hank hitched a ride. I was sold! After many weekends of transporting and learning the ropes of how the transport operated I was asked to takeover the group. Mobile Mutts v2.0 was then formed in 2012, thanks to all the wonderful volunteers we have grown.We are now a 501(c)3 Non-profit charity, we have opened our own Rescue based in Champaign, IL with a chapter in the Chicagoland area. This summer we will reach a milestone of 4,000 dogs transported since 2012 with the formation of MM v2.0.
In 2015 due to some health issue I had to reduce the time I could spend on the day to day operation of the group. So many of our volunteers stepped up to take on the many duties I used to perform. With such spirit and dedication we continue to transport each weekend to save them all. The willingness of so many to give so much week after week is the driving force behind this wonderful organization. We will continue to grow and save dogs each week, just like me and all of our volunteers, it makes our heart full to be a part of something that is bigger than we are.
We do have a goal, the same goal of all of those involved in animal rescue. That is to wake up one morning and the need to do what we do is gone! Adopt, spay&neuter and advocate for all of our animal friends!
