We are getting desperate! This dog is in a kill shelter and so far not transport options have worked out. I have one Pilot that can fly from Frankfort, KY to Lansing, IL (which is the closest airport to Steger). This dog needs to be moved soon.....Can anyone help????? Tessa, a red nose Pit, is in Baldwin County Animal Control Center in Summerdale, AL. She is going to Don't Bully My Breed Rescue in Stegar, IL. The shelter has agreed to hold this sweet dog for a few more days, so transport can be arranged. We need to move her as quickly as possible though, because this is a kill shelter. We were able to do this exact transport a while back for a red nose Pit named Sealy.......let's see if we can do it again! Thanks so much for your help.

She is a super sweet lady! She's a very likable red-head, so her name should be LUCY :lol:

Shameless plug for our group:
Gwen and Amy and I are part of Greyhound Pets of America---Montgomery Chapter.
Amy is the President.
We are always moving greyhounds around.
The second picture is Misty Leader making herself comfortable next to Tessa/Lucy's crate.
In a couple of weeks, Misty will come to my house as a foster.
I am so excited! Isn't she beautiful?

OK, sorry for the shameless plug.
Back to regular programming! :mrgreen:
