Help us bridge the gap between overpopulated shelters in Texas and loving homes in Minnesota. Join our mission to save lives by contributing to our “Miles of Love” transport program which focuses on relocating healthy dogs from Texas to Minnesota, where adopters, fosters, and rescue partners eagerly await them.
More than half of the shelters intaking pets in Texas euthanize when over capacity for care.
As of 2022, the current euthanasia rate for pets in Texas is 19% and increasing.

Every week, our dedicated team transports healthy dogs from our Texas sanctuary to various locations in Minnesota. By supporting Miles of Love, you can help give these deserving dogs a better chance at finding their adoptive families and reduce the overall risk of healthy dogs facing unnecessary loss of life.
We relocate approximately 100+ dogs a month and love sharing the details of each transport journey with our community. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of these vulnerable dogs and create a more hopeful future for them!
Transportation costs incurred make up approximately 15% of our yearly expenses. It’s critical for us to seek and receive consistent support from our pet loving community to help offset these monthly, recurring expenses for us to continuing keeping the pets in Texas safe.
In order to transport pets across state lines, we are required to have our pets examined by a veterinarian and when deem healthy, they provide us with a health certificate. This exam and certification costs us $25 per pet.
Considering we transport approximate an average of 100 pets per month, this cost alone is $2,500.
To ensure the safety and well being of the pets and drivers using a vehicle traveling almost 7,500 miles per month - it's a priority for us to provide routine upkeep, repairs and regular maintenance.
As gas prices continue to rise, so do our transport costs! Each transport is just under 1,000 miles EACH WAY!
