I am quite a ways off the direct routing, but if other routing should bring him into western Montana, I can do up to a 500 nautical mile round trip from Lincon MT (S69) during daylight hours on a good weather VFR (visusal flight rules) day.

I may be able to help. I'll keep an eye on pilot replies flying up into Utah. I can fly down to Bryce Canyon, UT (KBCE) and back to Provo, UT (KPVU) or Salt Lake City, UT. Available on Saturdays. Flying to Cedar City, UT tomorrow morning and could extend to Bryce but that would require some very fast coordination with other possible pilots.

I have contacted a friend in Phoeniz, AZ to ask him if he can pick up the pup and board at his place for a week or less until I can find transportation for the pup. Please let me know if you can help. I really appreciate veryone help.

Looks like the best routing for pilots would be up through Utah to SE Idaho to SW Idaho then NE Oregon or SE Washington and finally to Seattle. You might send direct request to PNP pilots along that routing. Hope this helps.

Does this little guy ride well in a car? Just trying to assess his adaptability to an airplane ride.

I'm not sure how he will do in car or plane. But the good news is my friend was able to saved him in time. If I can get him to SE Oregon, then I can drive from SEA to pick him up.

I'm a pilot based in Bellingham, WA...who makes regular flights to and from Eugene, Oregon. I've made several rescue flights from Oregon to the Seattle area.

Looks like the most needed part of this transport is the Arizona to Oregon portion. In addition to your PNP posting you might try notifying media outlets in the Phoenix area. Often getting media interest can generate local pilots or rescue organizations that can help. Get the photo with your write up on adoption to Phoenix radio stations (research on the web...look for morning radio shows...often they will help in getting humanitarian word out). I recomended this once to a woman who was trying to get a rather large dog from Texas to Washington state and a corporate Jet pilot made the entire flight to save the dog. Just a thought.

In the meantime, I can help in the Northwest on the final part of the transport.

Thanks for all you are doing,

Sincerely...
