National Nonprofit Petco Love Invests in Take Me Home Advocates for Transport to Save and Improve the Lives of Pets in Central Texas
Take Me Home Advocates for Transport is set to receive a $3,500 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for pets in central Texas.
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested nearly $421 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like ours — across North America, with more than 7 million pets adopted and counting.
“Our investment in Take Me Home Advocates for Transport is part of more than $12M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We launched Petco Love Lost, a free national lost and found database that uses photo-matching technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”
“This generous lifesaving investment from Petco Love enables us to not only save Central Texas dogs and cats from euthanasia at shelters that are over capacity, but also fill the hearts of their loving adopters in other states. We are honored and proud to have Petco Love in our corner. It will give us even more credibility in the rescue world which will in turn help us save even more pets,” said Susan Patterson, President of Take Me Home Advocates for Transport.
Take Me Home Advocates for Transport is a nonprofit organization with a mission to rescue and transport healthy, adoptable pets facing euthanasia from overcrowded rural shelters in central Texas to lifesaving shelters. This serves three outcomes: saving lives, easing overcrowding in rural animal shelters, and finding adoptable pets loving homes. We have increased our lifesaving mission by more than 100%, resulting in nearly 4,200 healthy pets transported and adopted since our founding in 2015.

About Take Me Home Advocates for Transport
Our mission is to save dogs from overcrowded shelters facing euthanasia due to lack of space. We raise funds to transport them to no-kill shelters with adoption waitlists, giving them a second chance at life. By pulling dogs from local rural shelters and arranging transport, we help these shelters manage their daily intake and reduce euthanasia rates. Our work not only saves lives but also matches loving families with wonderful companions. We're filling two needs: easing overcrowding in Central Texas shelters and providing adoptable dogs to areas with a shortage of them.
