Rides for Paws

Rides for Paws provides ground animal transport out of Franklin, Indiana, serving the broader Indianapolis region for owners and operators who need dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs moved safely.

Led by Jill Hanson, the team handles routine and long-distance hauls alike, working with breeders, small farms, and livestock owners who need dependable scheduling around herd health checks, sales, or relocations. Their equipment and routines are built around the realities of mixed-species loads, from a single farm dog to a trailer of sheep or goats headed to a new pasture.

Rides for Paws holds an active USDA APHIS Class T registration as a registered animal carrier, with that status active through August 2027. For central Indiana farms, breeders, and herd or flock owners near Indianapolis, this makes them a practical option when animals need to travel between properties, sales, or veterinary appointments without added stress on the animals or their handlers.
