About

🐾 Welcome to Wandering Dog Transport! 📍Location The northeast corner of Indiana—often called America’s Crossroads—I’m just minutes from Fort Wayne, IN and Van Wert, OH. --- 👭 Meet Your Mother/Daughter Team Susan Wine & Jade House Your Dedicated Pet Transportation Experts At Wandering Dog Transport, your pets aren’t “cargo” — they’re cherished travelers. And behind every safe, loving journey are the two women who make it happen: ✨ Susan Wine Founder • Lead Transport Specialist • Animal Whisperer on Wheels Susan brings years of hands‑on experience, a deep love for animals, and a calm, grounding presence that helps even the most nervous pets feel safe. She’s the heart of the operation — a steady driver, a gentle handler, and a fierce protector of every furry soul in her care. ✨ Jade House Co‑Transporter • Care Specialist • The Soothing Voice in the Passenger Seat Jade is the perfect blend of compassion and capability. She’s the one offering soft words, gentle pets, and reassuring energy during long rides. Pets adore her — and she makes sure they feel seen, safe, and loved every mile of the journey. --- 🛡️ Your Pet’s Safety Is Our Priority You can trust that your pet is traveling with professionals who take their responsibility seriously: - Fully certified & insured - USDA registered - Pet CPR certified - Experienced in long‑distance, multi‑state transport - Committed to stress‑free, comfort‑focused travel Every journey is planned with intention, care, and the understanding that your pet is family. -- 🐶 Susan's Experience I’ve always felt a deep connection to animals. That bond led me to become a veterinary technician, where I spent years caring for pets in clinics—monitoring their health, assisting in surgeries, and offering comfort during stressful moments. It was incredibly rewarding work that taught me not just the science of animal care, but the art of patience, empathy, and trust. Over time, I realized I wanted to do more than help animals in a clinical setting—I wanted to be there for them during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives: when they’re on the move. That’s what inspired me to start a new chapter in animal transportation. Now, I use my vet tech training to ensure every animal I transport is safe, calm, and cared for like family. Whether I’m reuniting pets with their people or helping rescues reach their forever homes, I bring a steady hand, a compassionate heart, and a deep respect for the animals in my care. This isn’t just a job—it’s a calling rooted in love, loyalty, and a lifelong bond with animals. My mission is to make every journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, so every animal feels secure, seen, and loved—no matter how far they travel. --- 🌳 Where the seed was planted a tree now flourishes My connection with animals goes far beyond my professional training. I grew up on a small farm in rural Iowa where I had the pleasure of working with horses, rabbits, pigs, ducks, goats, sheep, and chickens. Over the years, I’ve also rescued, fostered, and loved many different breeds of dogs, including: - Pit Bulls - Boxers - Labradors - Siberian Huskies - Malamutes - German Shepherds - Australian Shepherds - Dachshunds - Miniature Schnauzers - Chihuahuas - Mixed breeds and more --- 🏡 My Animal Family I currently share my home with five beloved four-legged family members: - Kane – A Siberian Husky/White German Shepherd mix, rescued from a neglectful backyard breeder - Balto – A Siberian Husky, my granddog, lovingly adopted by my oldest son - Lincoln – A Chihuahua, my best buddy, constant companion, and dedicated road warrior, rescued from another backyard breeding situation - Kiko – An Australian Shepherd mix, my doggie niece who belongs to my disabled brother who lives with me - Jinx – An all-black Domestic Shorthair, rescued from a cat colony beneath my neighbor’s trailer. Her mother was tragically killed when Jinx was just 3 weeks old --- 💌 Let’s Connect Feel free to reach out with questions or to book my services—I’d be honored to help your pet have a pawesome journey, that's not only safe—but filled with love, comfort, and care. ⚠️ Please note: CitizenShipper charges a separate platform fee that is not included in your quote. ⚠️ Quotes are for shared transport, please message me if you would like a solo rate. 💰 Accepted payment methods: Cash, CashApp, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, debit cards, and credit cards. ⚠️ A 4% + $0.50 per transaction processing fee applies to PayPal, Venmo, debit card, and credit card payments. 📅 Booking policy: All bookings require a 50% deposit, with the remaining balance due at the time of delivery.

Susan was very detailed oriented. She was punctual and sent updates regularly for me, the breeder, and the buyer. She shared the drive with another experienced driver. I highly recommend her for transporting your pet.

Susan is a lifesaver! She picked up Lacey within 4 hours of being booked, to deliver Lacey to her new family. She is professional and caring and communicated well. Definitely will use her for delivering more of our puppies to their new families.
