Frequently Asked Questions

Animals Saved To Date

Animals Saved To Date

Animals Saved To Date

How many passengers have we had on transport?


Since our inception in February 2014, 

#TeamPitStop volunteer drivers have helped save the lives of over 4,927 animals by providing them a lifeline between the shelter and rescues, including fosters and adopters.


How many animals can you transport at one time?


Currently we have a single transport van that can comfortably carry 10-12 large dogs.  Transport in this vehicle is normally within the state of Florida. Out of State transport depends on the volunteers available at the time of the request. 


Rescue transporters provide that bridge between what was and what could be.  They are often the unsung heroes in the rescue chain, but a very integral part of the rescue life cycle.

Transport by the Mile

We primarily transport along the East Coast - Florida to Massachusetts.  However, on special request we have been to Michigan, Texas, Kentucky, Alabama, and Tennessee.


Do you work with other transport groups?


Rescue Transport is definitely a team effort.  Sharing resources is a must.  We have worked with several rescue transport groups to assist when/where we can to help get passengers to their destination.

Adoptions

Microchipping

How many dogs have you adopted out?


#TeamPitStop started off primarily as a Rescue and Shelter support team.  In late 2015, we were given the opportunity to help a dog that was severely emaciated, heart worm positive, and  had horrible demodex mange.  We could not turn our back on her, so Peaches was placed in foster with one of our volunteers.  


Since that time, we have adopted out 37 dogs....


We are very lucky to still have relationships with our adopters and get to see regular updates.

What is Toys 4 Transport?


The Toys 4 Transport program started in October of 2014 after watching animals leave the shelter to start their new life with nothing of their own. 


We began providing goodie  bags for our passengers to include items like new collars, leashes, soft plush toys, nylabones, kongs, treats, etc. 


How many toys and treats have you given out?


As of February 2024, we have provided over 10,000 new toys and treats to shelter and rescue animals.


How can you help?


You can drop off donations at one of our two donation locations - Pet Supermarket in Jacksonville Beach or Earth Pets Natural in Mandarin.
