I was visiting my family in Central PA, and went in to the SPCA with to get my dad a cat. I fell in love with a 3-year old stray, but since I don't drive, I couldn't figure out how to get Ellie 500 miles to Boston. It would take 2 plane trips, and Amtrak won't take animals. I discovered uShip -- and Reddog, a retired gentleman with a van who was willing to bring Ellie up. Without uShip, I wouldn't have been able to adopt Ellie! She's happily settled in now, a country stray fast turning into a bonifide city dog.
