About
We give dogs the most important ride of their life. Founded in 2012, our volunteer-based charity has transported close to 2,500 dogs across North America and internationally that are at the threat of being euthanized. Working in partnership with shelters, we identify and transport dogs on buses, cars and planes to pre-qualified homes in Alberta and the Eastern Region of B.C. When our dogs have adjusted from their journey and settled into their foster homes, they are either adopted by the foster or become available for adoption.
We are addressing an international crisis about shelter over-populations, owner dog surrenders and discriminatory breed specific legislation. We believe that every dog deserves a new leash on life.
We consistently seek fosters, funds, partners and volunteers.

About Flona (Amber)
Distance: 3,235 Miles
Hi, my name is Flona! I'm the sweetest, happiest girl! I’m being returned to the rescue due to my fear towards men. I need a committed foster who is willing to build up my confidence and help be feel secure around them. I’ve come a long way since I’ve arrived here. I’m working on house training and if you let me outside after I come out of the kennel, I will absolutely go to the bathroom outside- inside I knows to go on a pee pad. I know how to sit and working on stay. I'm tentative at first, but once I trust you, I give kisses and SO much affection. I love walks and playing with all our other dogs. I met a kitty and was excellent with her- With my energy I feel like I might chase if the cat ran, but otherwise I'm very respectful. I’m very interested in kids when we go for walks and want to say hi. I absolutely love other dogs and just want to play all day- I would be good with another dog comparable in size and with the same puppy energy. I love my kennel and sometimes guards it from inside with other dogs, but when the door is covered to the crate that was all it took to calm me down. I take time warming up to men, but warm up quicker, particularly if they feed me liver treats. I'm a big cuddle bug and would be happy to sit by your side for hours as long as you were petting me. If you are patient and kind to me and give me a few days to warm up, I will give you so much love and be a faithful and loyal companion. Anyone would be lucky to have me, I’m just a sweet angel looking for a foster to take me in.
