If you volunteer at a dog rescue, then you're a good person.
We drive with our two dogs twice a year from Canada to The Villages, and then back again.
About the same distance as you're contemplating.
We drive about eight hours a day and stay at La Quinta hotels - no charge for two dogs.
No problems with the dogs; they sleep most of the time.
Just takes a little longer to do the drive because of course you need to stop for pee breaks.
Most service centers have designated areas for pets.
And of course, please make sure you rescue a dog that likes to drive in cars.
If you're thinking of flying, usually a dog under 15 lbs can fly in the cabin with you, if you book well in advance.
