The dog is nearly seven states away...we are a little nervous, is this common that rescue centers have someone that delivers the dogs through a network of people that pickup the dogs until the dog reaches your area? It's called Alpha Dog Transport (we're bit of newbies at this) It sounds very impressive, but it is also a little nerve racking to go to a hotel to meet a stranger to pick up a dog. Are they a legit outfit? We'll be going this Saturday to pickup our new family member. I'll let you know how it goes. | this is very common and nearly all rescues use this procedure whether through members of the rescue organization when it is nation wide or through outfits like this which are generally comprised of volunteers or through long haul truckers who transport nationwide loads as a friend of mine does. He transports for several rescue organizations and coincides with his cross country trips depending on where his destination for that particular load takes him.
