What We Do

P.E.T.S. LLC (Peterson Express Transport Service) is owned and operated by Kyle and Pam Peterson. Being animal lovers, we started helping with volunteer animal transports in and around Tennessee. As we became more involved, our volunteer work developed into a full time job. We realized a need for safe, affordable transport for the many rescue dogs being adopted to new homes up north from the kill shelters in the Southeast.   >> Read More

Welcome to the home of P.E.T.S. LLC (Peterson Express Transport Service)! A family run business started by husband and wife team,  Kyle and Pam Peterson, P.E.T.S. LLC is committed to safely transporting dogs from rescue groups to their new homes. P.E.T.S. LLC was the first commercial pet transport service dedicated to the rescue community. Since 2004, we have created an industry that has allowed for tens of thousands of dogs (and cats) to be saved from high rate kill shelters. Through our animal transport experience and dedication to saving animals, we have developed important   transport guidelines that have become the mainstay in the industry. We are glad that you want only the best transport for your rescued animals and/or new pet and here at P.E.T.S. LLC we provide the best. We pride ourselves on offering the absolute safest, cleanest and most punctual transport for your animals and look forward to working with you.

In addition, we would like to extend a heartfelt THANKS to everyone who has helped P.E.T.S. become what it is today. We couldn't do it without you!
Sincerely,
Pam & Kyle
