what is the email address for volunteers underground animal rescue?
This group helps route unwanted animals to wanted homes across the country. They use volunteers to help the animal travel to their new home. Each volunteer drives the animal 60 miles to another volunteer who does the same, until the animal reaches it’s new home.
Seattle gave me a good answer. However, I live in Davenport, IA (midwest). Is there any place that does this type of rescue in the midwest or in and around Chicago?
Hi Barb…there are several organizations that offer transport services for rescued animals.

excerpt from the story:
…rescue railroads are pretty diverse: On the Road Again (http://groups.yahoo.com/group /ontheroadagain) is a transport group of truckers who allow animals to hitch along. I-90 Rescue and Transport (http://pets.groups .yahoo.com/group/I-90_Rescue _and_Transport) works coast to coast along the nation’s longest interstate, from Seattle to Boston. The Rexcue Railroad (http://pets .groups.yahoo.com/group/rexcue railroad) dedicates itself to rescuing Cornish and Devon Rex cats, though it will consider transporting other "mutant fur" cat breeds, such as Sphynxes.
There’s even a group of volunteer pilots that fly special-needs or emergency rescues (flyingpaws.org).
