I am trying to find a ride for a 13 year old small Lab that is being adopted from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary by me. He is scheduled to fly this coming Friday, November 30th but they are using a major airlines and he will be put underneath in the luggage. Due to his age and his shy personality I think it would be better for him to be able to fly in the main cabin. If you can help, please give me a call.


Number of animals being transported: 1
Breeds, weight, age: Labrador Retriever, 36 pounds, 13 years old
Health Condition: good
Heart worm Status: negative
Vaccinations: up to date
Health Certificate: Unsure
Spay/Neutered: yes
Special needs: He is a senior shy dog
Name of Sending Rescue/Parties: Best Friends Animal Sanctuary
Name of Receiving Rescue/Parties: Mr. and Mrs. Wagner (adopters)
Contact information (publicly viewable on forum): Renee at 414-708-5788

Thanks but the dog is currently in Knaab, Utah and will be flown out of Las Vegas this coming Friday if no alternative means are scheduled. I am just trying to find a way where he would not have to be flown in the bottom with the luggage as he is an old dog with a shy personality and I'm sure that this is going to freak him out.

Lucrocs,
The transport you are requesting is > 1500 miles air distance. That could take 6-8 'legs,' each filled by a different pilot flying 200 miles or so. Allangiese was just indicating a willingness to take the last leg, from Minneapolis to to your final destination in Milwaukee. If others can fill other portions of the trip along the flight path from Vegas to Milwaukee, they will chime in with their offers.
Best of luck coordinating such a long transport. Though not impossible by any means, it is a LONG distance and will take some effort to get all of the legs lined up.
Regards,
Dennis
