Dogs in Transit Rescued from Rollover

A van transporting about 20 dogs for Potter’s Angels Rescue, of Randolph, and Passion 4 Paws, of Shelburne, Vt., rolled over on Interstate 91 in Windsor on Saturday afternoon. According to the Vermont State Police, one occupant of the vehicle was treated for minor injuries and none of the dogs, who were contained in pet carriers, were seriously injured. The other occupant of the vehicle, as well as the Windsor Fire Department and Windsor EMS, helped transfer the dogs safely to the shelters. Brandy Barnes, with Throwawaypups Transport, who owned the van, said on the Vermont State Police Facebook page that the van was totaled in the accident. The transport company has several routes in Vermont, including locations in White River Junction and Randolph. They also have routes in several other east coast states. Throwawaypups Transport has started a fund-raising page to purchase a new van on YouCaring.com.
