We are so excited that you are considering adopting a cat or dog from Texas! Through transport we have been able to help many dogs and cats find their happy ever after. Transport is such an amazing experience and opportunity for the animals in our care. Northern states do not suffer from the over population issues we have here in Texas, they also have more spay/neuter and vaccination laws that are enforced. Because of this Northern states have avoided having an animal crisis like we see in Texas on a daily basis.
