Take ME Home Advocates for Transport is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to eliminating euthanasia due to shelter overcrowding. The organization rescues and transports healthy, adoptable shelter dogs and cats from rural Central Texas shelters to no-kill shelter partners across the country. Through dedicated transport missions and short-term foster care, they help bridge the gap between high-intake Southern shelters and high-demand regions nationwide.
Take ME Home Transport partners with overcrowded rural shelters to pull adoptable animals and transport them to partner no-kill shelters across northern and other nationwide regions where they are placed up for adoption.
Currently, they send between 50 and 80 dogs and cats per month, weather permitting.
Volunteers provide temporary foster placement for animals for up to 14 days prior to their scheduled transport.
Animals are transported from overcrowded rural shelters in Central Texas to partner no-kill shelters across northern states with adoption waitlists.
Transports use climate-controlled vehicles outfitted with kennels, operated by professionally trained and insured drivers who make scheduled stops along the route.
