Bonnie’s Bus – A Ride with a Mission
Our Shared Ride service used to only go to the Tokyo International Airports…
But everything changed when we received a message from Bonnie’s mom.
That one incredible journey connected us to Mina from AnimO – Mina’s Exotic Animal Sanctuary in Chiba.
Mina’s compassion and dedication to animals touched us deeply, and Bonnie’s journey showed us that transportation could be more than simply getting a PAW from one place to another.
It could help connect a rescued animal with the people waiting to give them a home. 💞
That’s how Bonnie’s Bus began.
We’re not a rescue organization. PAWer’s Wish provides professional pet transportation, and Bonnie’s Bus is our way of using what we do to support rescue, adoption, and animal welfare journeys.
🚌 What Is Bonnie’s Bus?
Bonnie’s Bus is PAWer’s Wish’s rescue-focused transportation service.
It may help with journeys such as:
- Rescue and adoption transportation
- Bringing an adopted PAW from a rescue or sanctuary to their new family
- Foster or sanctuary relocation
- Connecting a rescued PAW with another part of their journey
- Other transportation needs related to animal welfare
Every rescue journey is different, so routes and timing are coordinated around the animals involved, the families helping them, and our available transportation schedule.
🐾 One Mission. Sometimes Many Families.
Some rescue journeys involve more than one PAW — and sometimes, an entire team of families comes together to help.
When multiple families are participating in the same rescue mission, TEAM MISAWA can share Bonnie’s Bus together.
Each family may be welcoming a different PAW, but everyone is helping complete the same journey.
Instead of treating one family as the “first pet” and another as an “additional pet,” every participating family receives the same Rescue Mission Shared Ride rate.
Bonnie’s Bus Rates
Standard Bonnie’s Bus Ride: ¥80,000
Rescue Mission Shared Ride: ¥60,000 per family
The Rescue Mission Shared Ride rate applies when pets from multiple families travel on the same coordinated rescue mission.
Appointment required.
🚐 How the Ride Works
Bonnie’s Bus is coordinated around each rescue mission rather than operating on a fixed timetable.
Depending on the journey, we may coordinate:
- Pickup from a rescue, sanctuary, foster, or other location
- Transportation toward Misawa or another agreed destination
- Multiple PAWs traveling as part of the same rescue mission
- Connections with adopting families or other people helping complete the journey
Availability, route, and timing depend on the individual mission and our existing transport schedule.
If you are planning a rescue journey, contact us with what you know so far. The entire plan does not need to be finalized before reaching out.
💗 This Bus Runs with Purpose
Bonnie’s Bus exists because one PAW’s journey showed us how the transportation we already provide could also help animals waiting for their next chapter.
A portion of Bonnie’s Bus proceeds supports AnimO – Mina’s Exotic Animal Sanctuary.
For PAWer’s Wish, Bonnie’s Bus isn’t about turning rescue into another transportation product.
It’s about using the road, the vehicle, and the work we already do to help when we can. 🐾💞
