Time Commitment: Completely up to you! The awesome part of being a Transport Volunteer is you will receive requests for transport needs via email – if it works for you sign on up! If not, all good, maybe the next one will.

Role Overview: Work with the SOS team to safely transport rescue dogs from Pearson Airport, vetting appointments in Mississauga or foster home transfers throughout Toronto, Burlington, Hamilton, Guelph, Mississauga and many other Southern ON locations like King City, Kitchener/Waterloo, Owen Sound, Kawarthas… we're all over.

In this role you’ll be required to use your car/truck/van to transport dogs and/or supplies such as crates, to where they need to go! We want to make sure transporting goes as smoothly as possible (for the dogs AND you) so we’re definitely looking for someone that knows a thing or two about responsibility and clear communication. Our top priority is safety, so you’ll need to be able to secure dogs in your vehicle as you transport them (we will show you how!) This role can require contact (your choice dependent on comfort/task sign ups) with our sweet (and some times nervous) scruffs so you’ll need to be comfortable handing dogs. No surprise there! If you’ve got some extra time and energy and think this role is right for you, please sign up! Oh and you get to join a community of SOS Transport Volunteers! All new transporters will go through a 30 minute online training session where you can also ask any questions you have.

General Skills:

• Communication, responsible and reliable
• Car with climate control and a valid driver’s license
• Bonus points if you have previous experience calmly meeting and support dogs

Bonus points if you have:

• If you have a large vehicle! You're a rare commodity
• Like late night or early morning transports... our airport visits are usually for night owls or early birds
• Travel through Mississauga often (Cawthra exit). That is one of our main hubs for supplies as well as our vet office for all the scruffs
• Are in North York often – supply pick up/drop offs are often at our North York storage containers
