Your veterinarian can also provide information on proper care and feeding. If you are not experienced in driving a vehicle towing a trailer, arrange for someone with experience to help you. Plan the travel route in advance. Avoid large cities, rush hours, and bumpy roads. Allow plenty of time to view the animals before the selection process begins.
Most adoptions draw names to determine order of selection.
Animals should not be transported longer than 24 hours without unloading for a food, water, and rest. Corrals used for rest breaks must meet the requirements discussed in question 13. Reloading will require a loading chute. If your journey crosses state lines, check with each state for requirements of brand inspection, health certificate, clearance documents, etc. For more adoption information, call or write the office serving the area where you wish to adopt.
