HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1: RESCUE ​

We all have one goal: to help save dogs from a life any lesser than what they deserve. Project Freedom Ride and our rescue partners work around the clock saving dogs from euthanasia in overcrowded shelters or a life fending for themselves in the streets or rural areas. 

​Once Project Freedom Ride or our rescue partners take a pet in, they are placed either with a foster  home or within a facility where they are safe and cared for -- without the risk of euthanasia. 

​Pets are put through a behavior assessment and have all their vetting managed. Once a pet is cleared, they are either placed up for “Direct Adoption” or “Transferred” to a rescue partner.

STEP 2: ADOPTION PROCESS
There are 2 ways to adopt a PFR dog: Direct Adoption or Adopt a Transfer 

DIRECT ADOPTION

1. Visit our Available for Direct Adoption photo album on Facebook.
2. If you see a dog you’re interested in,  email the Texas rescue organization directly (their contact info is listed in each photo's caption).
3. Complete an application with that rescue.
4. Go through a series of reference checks and a Facetime or Skype interview.
5. Once finalized, PFR will arrange for the transportation of your new companion to your part of the country (some travel on your part may be required to meet the transport).​

ADOPT A TRANSFER PET

1. Keep an eye out for pets we transfer to our receiving rescue organizations. Dogs transferred will be posted our Facebook page prior to transport in an album labelled with that transport date. The receiving rescue will be noted in the pets photo captions so you are able to contact them directly.
2. Follow that rescue organization's adoption process (this may vary from rescue to rescue).

​STEP 3: TRANSPORT

Transports are typically arranged once a month. We can transport up to 35 dogs per trip depending on size. We keep everyone involved updated during the entire transport process -- from 5-7 days before transport through the transport until they have arrived to you!

For direct adopters, transport pick up location, date and approximate time are arranged ahead of time. 

All our rescue efforts and transports are 100% support by donations. Adoption fees do not cover our costs.
