About AHeinz57
AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport, Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit animal welfare organization based in Adel, Iowa, that bridges the gap between traditional animal shelters and no-kill rescues in 2 different ways: 1) By providing free transportation for dogs and cats from traditional shelters to no-kill rescues all over the Midwest and Canada, as well as overnight rest stops for furry travelers and temporary housing for those waiting for foster homes; 2) By pulling as many dogs out of traditional shelters that are on death row and placing them in foster and forever homes.

What is meant by “Transport”?
Every day no-kill shelters monitor traditional shelters to pull dogs and cats before they are euthanized and transport them to no-kill shelters that have room for them. Most of the time, this requires transportation to another state. A transport coordinator blasts out emails to the transport network and volunteers sign up for various legs of the journey. Transporters give them rides!
AHeinz57′s goal is organize transport volunteers from all over the Midwest to create a “One Stop Shop” for the transport coordinators. AHeinz57 also provides funds for gas and a specially-equipped transport van. To become a transport driver, Click Here.
What is “Fostering”?
AHeinz57 is a foster-based program for homeless dogs and cats. Strays and shelter animals are placed in temporary homes (“foster homes”), until forever homes are found. There is always a need for more foster families! If interested, Click Here.
What is the Pit Stop?
The Pit Stop is located in De Soto, IA. It is designed to be a temporary stop for dogs when they first arrive. There they get vetted to make sure they have nothing contagious before sending them to foster homes. It is also a sanctuary for senior dogs and dogs that no one wants to foster. They get to hang out on the couches, watch movies, play with a bubble machine, enjoy the dog park in back, and get lots of love and attention from volunteers.
