Additional info/situation:
Luke's family has a new baby, so they've literally kicked Luke out and he's staying with a neighbor. One of my volunteer drivers has a friend in MA who is willing to give Luke a home, so we need to get him from Wilmington to Wytheville, VA so he can hook up with my transport. I know almost no one in NC, so this is proving to be difficult. Luke has nowhere to go after Saturday - the neighbor needs him out. Hoping for a miracle. In any case, thanks for all you do.

If the weather is good on Saturday I may be able to do this trip.

That would be a Godsend, Keith! What is the weather looking like right now?

So far weather looks good for tomorrow (Saturday).

Do you have an idea of what time would be good to pick him up? And will the pick up be at Wilmington (KILM) or
would it be at say Whiteville or Elizathbethtown? I'm actually in Virginia right now so it will take me an hour to an
hour and a half to get there. Late morning or early afternoon would be great if that's possible.

Also, will I take him to Mountain Empire Airport (KMKJ)? I'll be going back to Dublin, New River Valley Airport (KPSK)
so if that is closer it would good too. Either is fine.

I have a crate and my wife will also sit in the back with him. Do you know how well he travels? Will we need a leash and collar?

I will need the phone numbers of the person I'm picking him up from and the person I'm taking him to. I can call them before I leave and
let them know I'm on my way. You can email these to me if you like.

Just let me know!

Keith
