Freedom Rides
Every ride is a fresh start
When local adoption demand can't keep up with intake, our rescue transports carry dogs and cats north to partner rescues with waiting families. Animals from GJAS have found homes across 27 states.

Why transports matter
Our hearts are full every time we send our kits and pups on to new homes and rescues. Every adoption and rescue transfer opens space and resources for the next animal who needs help — it's how a shelter our size achieved a 97% live outcome rate while caring for 1,754 animals last year.
Thank you to every adopter who has opened their heart to a new furever family member, and to the hard-working rescue partners who make these journeys possible.
