Our Mission

The mission of the Coalition of Animal Rescue Transporters (CART) is to collaborate and share opportunities to transport rescue animals from shelters and rescues to the same in other states that have more adoption demand than in the Coalition members’ home area.
CART acts as a service provider to Coalition members, assisting with:

Client Management

finding new destination partners and finalizing transport relationships

Transport Planning

Initial transport planning and logistics

Best Practice Standards

Maintenance of Best Practice Standards, to develop a high-quality transport program shared by members

Funding

Funding primarily by grants from third parties.

How you can Help

CART is always looking for volunteers to assist with administrative duties (data entry, social media, transport monitor, etc.) If you are interested in volunteering as a transport driver, our Coalition members want to hear from you too!

Currently, our transports run from Central Arkansas, Ft. Smith and Rogers to six states: Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota.  Expanding to more states soon!
