The link I sent to the group is the website of a rescue that does just that. You can probably find information on how to start a program by reading their info. They would be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Our leg is to another town south of us where another driver will pick them up and so on. They are bound for South Carolina. I sent a link to the group of the way a rescue/transport group works here if anyone wanted to pick up on the idea. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peggy & The Girls Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 1:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Re: Helping the CA chi's I guess no one thinks this is a good idea? -------Original Message------- From: Peggy <mailto:[email protected]> & The Girls Date: 12/1/2010 4:01:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Helping the CA chi's Since we have all been talking of ways to help the shelter dogs, I do have an idea for any one who lives in CA., which is where the majority Chi's are. Deanna, I think you mentioned that a neighbor of yours works for a shelter,or a rescue? Not sure on that one, but, what if you were to call/ask Shelters for a list of Rescues that work with other out of state Rescues, that way when some one in our group like Pam in FL, and Ellen in IN, would be able to adopt from a CA shelter. It may be possible for you to even see the dog first, if it is in a shelter close to you. Here's the way it would work. A CA rescue pulls the dog for a rescue in FL. The Florida rescue (or any state) does the home check and app work for the person who wants to adopt in FL (or any state). The two rescues are the ones who work out the transporting. That's the way that the Southern states do it. They use pre-approved local Rescues who pulls the dog out of a shelter and puts it in boarding wile the the paper work is being done and the dog receives it rabies shot for the out of state adopter. The local rescue is actually working with the out-of-state rescue to do the home check and coordinate the transport. So why not do the same thing for the dogs that are in CA to other states? But some one has to get the list of the CA rescues first, in order to get things rolling. Once we have that list, then any one will be able to save all those Chi's in CA. What do you think? If you go on the Dogs in danger site and put in for CA-Chihuahua their are hundreds of them in the shelters, some of the shelters also have video's of the dogs on u-tube. <http://www.imdesignsforyou.co.nr/> Rachel's Design's Plain Colors
