We pull from local animal control facilities and rescue groups. Road Trip Home does not currently have the capacity for immediate owner surrenders or good Samaritan surrenders.

In the Southern United States, there is a significant population of homeless animals. The region's warmer climate contributes to an extended breeding season, resulting in increased numbers of puppies and kittens. Shelters frequently experience overcrowding as new animals arrive daily. Georgia lacks comprehensive spay/neuter legislation, and individuals in rural areas often have limited access to affordable or free spay/neuter services. Partner states and shelters in the Northeast are able to accommodate these animals and successfully place them into adoptive homes.

Generally, a healthy animal will remain in foster care for 2 to 4 weeks. This period may be shorter or longer, depending on the animal's health and the availability of space on a transport. There have been instances where animals are "dumped" by other rescues on their foster families. However, this is not the practice here. All animals in our care are transported to find their forever homes.

Unfortunately, Road Trip Home is not accepting owner surrenders at this time.

When we take in an animal, we ensure its well-being with basic or advanced veterinary care as needed, overseen by licensed veterinarians. Sometimes all they need are basic veterinary care: heartworm preventative, flea preventative, vaccinations, or deworming. Other times they come in with more serious illnesses or injuries, such as parvovirus, heartworm disease, or respiratory infections. Regardless of the care they require, we are committed to making them healthy and happy again. Animals are only transported once healthy and ready for a new home. Because this can be expensive, we rely on your donations.

We do not offer local adoptions. All our animals are placed with rescue partners in the Northeast, often already matched with homes. If you're interested in adopting, please visit a local rescue to help open space for future rescues.
