Your Extended  Family is our #1 Concern

Dreamin My Way Home was developed out of compassion for animals and the joy our drivers receive when we pick up your extended family to take them home. 

Our mission statement: We see a great need out here and more and more animals need transportation.  And, to relocate pets, animals for whatever reason.

We have seen and learned that with today's economy many folks can not afford to travel to pick up their extended family member; therefore, we provide that service for a small fee.  We do require a $65.00 transportation  fee.  The rewards of bringing your extended family member home for the first time is like bringing a baby home from the hospital - lots of anticipation and excitement.  We thank you for allowing us to be part of your family reunion.

D.I.N.O.  (Driver's In Need Of) Emergency Pet Rescue: D.I.N.O was designed to help any driver (any mode of transportation), in America that has been deemed unable to communicate with a first responder, law enforcement, EMT, or hospital staff.  Please make sure you have somewhere on you or your vehicle that you have registered with D.I.N.O on this website so we can get your extended family member to safety anywhere it's designed to go.  (D.I.N.O. is a part of Dreamin My Way Home Pet Transport) Thank you.  Todd Heinen

STEPS TO PERFORM THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER FOR DOGS:

1.  After determining that your dog is choking, remove any item that may be constricting the neck. Examine inside the mouth and remove any foreign object you see. Do not blindly place your hand down your pet's throat and pull any object you feel. Dogs have small bones that support the base of their tongues. Owners probing the throat for a foreign object have mistaken these for chicken bones. Do not attempt to remove an object unless you can see and identify it. If your pet is small and you cannot easily remove the object, lift and suspend him with the head pointed down. For larger animals, lift the rear legs so the head is tilted down. This can help dislodge an item stuck in the throat. Another method is to administer a sharp blow between the shoulder blades using the palm of your hand. This can sometimes dislodge an object. If this does not work, a modified Heimlich maneuver can be attempted.

2.  Grasp the animal around the waist so that the rear is nearest to you, similar to a bear hug.

3.  Place a fist just behind the ribs.

4.  Compress the abdomen several times (usually 3-5 times) with quick pushes.

5.  Check the mouth to see if the foreign object has been removed.

This maneuver can be repeated one to two times, but if it is not successful on the first attempt, make arrangements to immediately take your pet to the nearest veterinary hospital. Even if you are successful in removing a foreign object, veterinary examination is recommended. Internal injury could have occurred that may not be apparent.
