DROP-OFF LOCATION:
-
Austin has 2 main drop off locations. SOUTH AUSTIN - Cowboy Harley-Davidson at 10917 I-35, Austin, 78747 and NORTH AUSTIN Home Depot at 13309 N I-35, Austin, TX 78753.
-
The trailer usually arrives at Harley-Davidson around 10:30 AM unless otherwise indicated. Please make sure you are included on the Facebook Messenger Transport thread for your transport date in order to receive all updates regarding drop-off times/delays.
-
Other drop-off locations can be found here but the trailer won't stop at all of them every time. Please discuss this with your Adoption Coordinator who schedules transport for you.
-
If for any reason you are unable to drop your dog off for transport, please let your Adoption Coordinator know in advance, so we can arrange a volunteer to assist. You can also post on our Addicus' Legacy Foster and Volunteers page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/225623824449371/) to find help yourself.
ITEMS TO INCLUDE WITH YOUR DOG/PUPPY FOR TRANSPORT:
-
All paperwork for the dog should be placed in a Ziploc bag or brown envelope clearly labeled with your dog’s name and "Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue". Please also include a note stating dates of last flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.
-
Indicate the type of food you are feeding, how much and when and provide a Ziploc bag with several servings of food for transport. Clearly indicate the dog’s name and "Addicus’ Legacy Dog Rescue" on the bag as well.
-
Attach tape around the dog’s collar and using a sharpie, write the dog’s name and the following number on it: 860-794-9357
-
Morning of transport: limit food - many dogs get scared when they are loaded, and if we can reduce vomit, that would be great :)
-
You may send a blanket or small toy with your foster dog but they have limited space for lots of luggage, so pups and dogs must travel light!!
