HELP!!! I have an idea with a couple of friends of mine to start a Mobile Action Project here in Memphis. I have been racking my brain as to how to alleviate this huge overpopulation problem in this area. So many animals are put down each week and people just don't get their animals spayed or neutered. We were slated to get a new shelter built this next year but now that we are getting an NBA team, that is all on hold. (You can see where this cities priorities are!!!) There are many no-kill shelters in the area but they are always full. We have the Animal Protection Association here that we can work out a low cost deal with for around $10. When I say "Mobile", I mean we'd have around 10-20 volunteers who would transport animals to and from the shelter to get them spayed and neutered. My question is this: Since we are going to just be transporting (the person would give us the $10 and we would in turn pay it to the shelter)is there a need to become an entity in and of ourself? Should we become a non-profit since we will just be volunteering our time and gas? What are the benefits? Can we call ourselves "Directors, volunteers, or asst directors" if we are not a non-profit? Does anyone know how this works? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.
