AJC Rescue & Transport

AJC Rescue & Transport Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate dogs of all breeds and ages and find them loving homes. Above 20 lbs, the individual crate rate applies.
(4)

My team and I strive to provide the most caring, safe and professional transport service, for rescue & personal dogs, from Houston to northern states, in order to give these animals their chance at wonderful lives with loving forever families. TERMS OF SERVICE

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue & transport group and our transport is part of our rescue fundraising activity, meaning all proceeds af

ter expenses, are used to fund the saving and vetting of more dogs. We currently service mainly the Northeast/New England area and the Midwest (Chicago/Michigan/Ohio)
We operate a Mercedes Sprinter Van and all dogs are transported in Airline crates, in accordance with USDA guidelines. Our rates are structured as follows:
$220 per dog up to 100 lbs
$275 per dog over 100 lbs (or tall enough to require a 38” crate or larger)
$300 per nursing mom with litter up to 4 weeks old
$350 per nursing mom with litter 4-6 weeks old
(Additional fee of $100 per crate applies for litters of more than 6 puppies)
$220 per crate for puppies over 6 weeks old and no longer nursing, no more than 2 puppies per crate as long as puppies are under 20 lbs each. These rates are for dogs originating in the greater Houston area. Other pick up locations are available with prior arrangement and additional fee based on location and quantity of dog loading at that location. We utilize the following Jotform for bookings. Unless your booking has been received via this form, we cannot guarantee that a crate has been reserved. If a booking is received and we are fully booked for the date you are requesting, we will contact you right away. You can find our form "AJC Rescue & Transport Booking Request" at: https://form.jotform.com/221517135216144

Payment and health certificates, for dogs booked on transport, must be received by email no later than 48 hours prior to scheduled loading. Dogs canceled less than 48 hours prior to loading (or refused at loading for health/safety concerns or for missing/incomplete paperwork) will still incur the full original transport fee.

at least 2 days prior to transport. Original Health Certificate, vaccination records and Rabies Certificate (if applicable) must accompany the dog during transport. DOGS BROUGHT TO LOADING WITHOUT THIS DOCUMENTATION PRESENT, WILL NOT BE LOADED. All dogs (except NPG puppies) must wear a collar when brought to loading. Any dog not wearing a collar, will be provided one by us and a fee of $10 per dog added to the transport fee.

We reserve the right to refuse any animal that shows signs of aggression or illness at the time of loading or is brought to loading without the required documentation.

Another successful Midwest transport on the books for 2025.
20 dogs and 1 kitty were the lucky ones to get their ticket out of Texas and into the loving homes of Midwest adopters. 💖🐶💖

We love what we do and these wonderful moments just never get old. 😍🐾😍🐾😍🐾

To all our very wonderful and valued clients:

We have been pondering this issue for a significant amount of time and now find ourselves in a position of having to do something we have avoided as long as possible……starting 4/1/25 we will have to raise our rates. 😢😢
The cost of maintenance and repairs to our vehicle, to ensure that our precious cargo is always safe and comfortable, has increased to such a degree that it is no longer sustainable for us to operate at the current rates.
Since we are also a rescue, we are mindful of the cost to the rescues who use our transport, but this is no longer a decision we can avoid, without running the risk of stopping our transport altogether.

Below are our updated rates:

$250 per dog up to 100 lbs
$300 per dog over 100 lbs (or tall enough to require a 38” crate or larger)
2 puppies sharing a crate $300 per crate (puppies must be siblings, under 20lbs each, no more than 2 puppies per crate.
$300 per nursing mom with litter up to 4 weeks old
$350 per nursing mom with litter 4-6 weeks old
(Additional fee of $100 per crate applies for litters of more than 6 puppies)
$300 per crate for puppies over 6 weeks old and no longer nursing, no more than 2 puppies per crate as long as puppies are under 20 lbs each. Above 20 lbs, the individual crate rate applies.

These rates are for dogs originating in the greater Houston area. Other pick up locations are available with prior arrangement and additional fee based on location and quantity of dog loading at that location.

We thank you for your understanding and look forward to seeing your pups on our transports. 🥰🐶🚙

🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙

Everyone……..we need some help please 🙏 🙏🙏🙏

Our transport van🚙 is the core investment of our rescue🐶
We drive 12K - 15K miles a month to deliver dogs and cats to rescues and adopters throughout the Midwest and New England.
During the return from our most recent trip, the front AC/Heat went out.

We currently have it in the shop and the news is crushing……the Compressor and Blower Motor are out and need to be replaced 😭😭😭😭

We absolutely need to get this work done in order to keep transporting safely.
The cost of the repairs is: $1901.85 (estimate is below)

Please donate to the cost of our repairs 🙏🙏🙏

Another successful trip on the books for 2025. We can’t believe it’s already the middle of February.
These are some of the lucky pups who got their ride out of Texas and into the loving arms of adopters and rescues all over New England.

Happy lives sweet babies. We’re so excited for you and your new families❣️❣️❣️

Amazing adoptions are what we strive for, for all our dogs and we’re so happy to be able to share with you 2 more wonderful adoptions of our AJC dogs.

Sweet Kimber was with us for almost a year before her forever family found her. She’s a typical Shepherd who needed an adopter with Shepherd experience.
Thankfully that’s exactly what she now has and traveled to Ohio to live her best life. 🐶💖🐾🥰

Precious Freya was with us for about 8 months. She came to us in very bad condition, underweight, not vetted or spayed and heartworm positive.
It took some time for us to figure out her medical issues that were causing her to be so underweight. She was finally diagnosed with a Pancreatic Insufficiency, and once the right medication became part of her daily routine, she started gaining weight and became healthy enough to be spayed and start Heartworm treatment. Freya completed heartworm treatment like a champ and has now gone to live in Buffalo, NY where her adoptive family eagerly waited for her for 3 months, until she completed her treatment. 🐶💖🐾🥰

We couldn’t be more grateful to these adopters for giving these amazing dogs the lives they deserve 💖💖💖

Please keep supporting our mission so we can keep saving and treating dogs like these, giving them a new chance at a happy and healthy life with furever families🙏🙏🙏

Every $ makes a bigger difference than you can imagine. For these dogs, it makes all the difference in the world.

UPDATE:
Emory had surgery yesterday and really need support to help cover this very unexpected expense.

Emory was scheduled to be spayed in a few weeks at a much lower cost, but the severity of the prolapse made it impossible to wait.

Please help us 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Any amount would be greatly appreciated 🙏💕🙏💕

The invoice for Emory’s surgery is below.

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

This Sunday did not start off very well for sweet little Emory, a little Pittie girl one of our fosters found as a stray, and which we agreed to take into our rescue.

This precious girl was playing and cuddling like normal yesterday, and overnight developed a uterine prolapse.

We are struggling with vet bills and desperately need your support as Emory will likely require surgery to resolve this issue. 😢😢😢😢

Our foster sent these pictures to the vet and was told that, as long as Emory is still able to urinate she doesn’t need to see an ER vet today and can see her regular vet on Monday morning.
We’re praying that she continues to be able to urinate and our foster is monitoring her closely. If her situation worsens, she will take her to the ER right away.
In the meantime, we are praying for your support. We desperately need donations to cover the surgery that will be needed.

Please help us help Emory🙏😭🙏😭

Meet CONWAY💕🐶🐾

Hi, I’m Conway, a lovable, loving playful and sweet Labrador/Shepherd mix pup.

My story
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Conway is crate trained, house trained and great with other dogs.
His shepherd side shows when he barks to communicate play and when he is ready for breakfast, his lab side is playful but not destructive.
Loves kids and being near humans, he is gentle and sweet. Conway is cream colored with a wavy medium coat length.

Favorite Toy: Corn on the Cob Chew
Favorite Color: Baby Blue
Favorite Food: Pretzels

This litter was a “surprise” when a family brought home a dog, not knowing she was pregnant.
4 of her pups were accepted into rescue and completed medical, vaccines, microchip and spay/neuter.
The pups have been with a family (including children) since birth.
Born June 11, 2024 - each weighing about 35 lbs at 4 months old.
DNA tests completed by the foster family said Swiss Shepherd, German Shepherd & Labrador mix.

Conway is READY for Adoption: Vaccinated, on prevention, microchipped and neutered.

Conway is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada.

Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming, heartworm test, transport and vet/documentation requirements in preparation for transport.

I want to give a HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to 4imprint.
Today we were approved for their $500 product grant, which allowed us to order a tablecloth with our logo for events, and some other promotional products.
These are things we have needed for some time but just didn’t have the cash flow for, since every penny we get donated, goes to pay bills for the dogs in our rescue.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us this wonderful blessing 🥰🐶💕🐾

Meet GINGER💖🐶💖

Meet Ginger, a female Mastiff mix, who is full of energy and love!
Ginger is extremely affectionate and playful, but also knows when to calm down and take a nap on the couch (which might be her favourite hobby).
At 1-2 years old (according to the vet), she is still very curious about the world, is calm with spurts of puppy energy, and loves to explore.
Ginger is usually gentle during her interactions with humans and other animals. She’s curious about her foster mom’s cat and is learning to be gentle and respectful of the kitty. She has shown no signs of aggression towards the cat, purely curiosity and eagerness to play.

Ginger is athletic and loves to run around and play, but is also up for a good cuddle session.
She is smart and funny, and you'll never get bored with her around. Ginger is truly a loyal companion and will stick by your side through thick and thin.
She loves everyone she meets and even does great with kids.

Ginger can be a little bit on the quiet side, but don't let that fool you! She's very playful and gets along with everyone. She is a loving girl who is looking for a family to call her own. She is a perfect companion for someone who is looking for a furry friend who will stick by their side. Ginger is a one-of-a-kind pooch and is a must-have addition to your family!
Ginger is dog friendly and plays well with her foster mom’s dogs.
She can be a little protective of her toys but loves to play chase and Tug-of-war. Ginger also has a funny habit of chasing her tail sometimes, which is hilarious to watch.

Ginger is house trained, crate trained, knows how to use a doggy door and walks fairly well on a leash.

Ginger was originally found as a starving stray and thankfully a Good Samaritan took her in. Since then, she has recovered well, is a healthy weight of approximately 60lbs, has been vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. Due to the neglect she suffered, she is positive for Heartworms but is currently undergoing treatment, which will be complete mid-end February.

Ginger is currently being fostered in Texas but available to transport to approved adopter in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada.

Adoption fee includes vaccinations, Spay/Neuter, microchip, deworming, heartworm test.
