Greg embarks on a 4,200-mile adventure from his residence in Zanesville, Ohio that lasts for almost a week. His mission is to save dogs in the southern regions, many of which are on the brink of being euthanized.
Despite his incredible commitment to saving lives, he hasn’t slowed down. In fact, he now spends half of each year embarking on road trips throughout the country in order to save even more lives. Greg Mahle is the mastermind behind Rescue Road Trips, a unique and affordable transport service that sets itself apart from the rest. He’s far from your average truck driver, to say the least.
Every Monday, Mahle embarks on a week-long journey covering 4,200 miles from his home in Zanesville, Ohio. His goal is to provide assistance in rescuing and caring for abandoned, abused, neglected, and lost dogs that are on the brink of death in the southern region of the United States. He then brings these dogs to loving homes in the Northeast where they can find their forever families.
Over the last ten years, Mahle has covered over a million miles and rescued more than thirty thousand dogs. Mahle’s commitment to the cause is unmatched as they put in hard and exhausting work to make sure that each dog’s journey to freedom is comfortable and stress-free. Mahle’s efforts are driven by their love and passion for animals, and they go above and beyond to ensure that every dog gets the care and attention they deserve.
As he embarks on his journeys, Greg takes the time to capture every step of his rescue missions and shares them on Rescue Road Trips’ Facebook page. This serves two purposes; it keeps waiting families excited as they anticipate their new furry family member’s arrival and celebrates the unsung heroes who made the rescue possible. However, there are sacrifices that come with this noble work. Greg spends half of the year away from his wife and stepson, and financial struggles are a constant presence. Even when he’s not on the road, running Rescue Road Trips requires 50-60 hours of his time per week. Check out this video for a glimpse into his incredible work.
