Aspen the chihuahua found her forever home thanks to a shelter transport, and now she helps foster dogs find theirs

Aspen was born in a hoarding situation in Florida. She was put into foster care and, when old enough, transported to Providence Animal Center in Pennsylvania for a chance to be adopted. She found her forever family in no time, when soon-to-be dog mom Samantha spotted “this tiny, tail wagging, eager chihuahua mix sporting a bright purple collar.”

Transport Programs Save Lives

Our research showed that in the South, 72 percent of shelters said they have more pets than they can adopt out.”*

To address this challenge, PEDIGREE Foundation makes transport programs a priority for
