Hello from Hound Haulers Pet Transport!
At Hound Haulers, we’re not just transporters — we’re lifelong animal owners, caretakers and lovers. Many members of our team have spent their lives around animals of all kinds, from the large to small — from horses, to dogs and cats, and much more. Some of us are even dog breeders ourselves, which gives us a deep understanding of the care, responsibility, and trust that comes with having an animal’s life in your hands.
We know firsthand how much love, attention, and worry goes into caring for a pet of our own, and it’s a responsibility we never take lightly! That same respect, care, and personal love for animals is brought to every transport we take on.
We are a privately owned, veteran-run company with over 15 years of professional pet transport experience, and we’ve built a reputation as one of the most consistent and structured nationwide transport services in the United States.
Our office team and drivers are experienced professionals who genuinely care about the animals in our care. This isn’t a hobby for us or a way to see the country — we are dedicated logistics and transport professionals, and this is how we support our families. Because of that, we take our responsibility seriously and operate professionally while following all legal standards required for animal transport.
At Hound Haulers, your pet isn’t just cargo — they’re family, and we treat them that way every mile of the journey.

• USDA Registered (a federal requirement for lawful animal transport)

PAYMENT
As we are licensed transport professionals in a federally regulated industry, we follow the same recognized worldwide industry standard as any other professional transport/shipping service:
We send you a transport agreement/contract for review and then payment is required in full to booking passenger travel. This is the same as when you pay up front for a plane, boat, ride-share, or even Amazon delivery service. Once you've completed payment, then you recieve confirmation of being added to your selected weeks schedule. With your transport agreement and documented confirmation, you'll be ready to go!
Please understand that unlike Amazon, FedEx, or USPS, and live animal cargo is more costly and not based on speed alone. We stop and take time with each pet passenger throughouteach day of travel. These stops take time and are important to providing the highest level of care for our lives cargo. We do not drive continuously overnight. We follow the professional guidelines for safety as set by the DOT for professional cross country drivers.
We travel in all seasons on your behalf, so ETA can be affected by weather, traffic, or other hazards of the road. But we are in that element instead of you and we appreciate your understanding that unexpected situations do arise, and you will have excellent communications from us in that regards, along with GPS location access at all times through the journey and daily photo updates.
