Help Local Women Transport Dogs Home

Transporting dogs from the U.S. to their forever homes in Canada is no small feat. This Hamden resident thought of a way to make it easier, but she needs your help.

Right now, when Transporters Without Borders needs to bring a dog from the U.S. to Canada, a volunteer brings the dog using their own vehicle and equipment.

Hamden resident Sylvia Twigg Winchell knew there had to be an easier way. If Transporters Without Borders had a motorhome, they could bring multiple animals to Canada at the same time! 

Now Winchell is reaching out to the community, hoping they donate and help make her dream come true. As of Jan. 20, the community donated $275 out of a $10,000 goal.

To donate to Transporters Without Borders motorhome fund, visit its GoFundMe page.
