If someone can get the dog to Florida.......I can transport from perhaps Daytona area or maybe even St Augustine. I am based at F45. 954-614-6441

Let me see if I can coordinate... the North leg.
There are some other dogs that need to go from Atlanta to Daytona...so I could combine and connect with the other pilot.
When are you available? Friday afternoon? Saturday?

We can get her to PDK pretty much any time. She is currently in boarding at a vet clinic, but I have a foster home who is 4 miles from PDK and he works in an office building at the airport. I'm going to move her to that foster home soon, probably tomorrow.

Thank you!!!

Is there room for my rescued Buttercup on these flights from Ga to FL?
Buttercup (please see my post) was rescued from animal control and destined to become a therapy dog at the Delray Beach Medical Center and Arden Courts..Alsheimers Facility. She is one year old and ten pounds...will go in small crate.
Do you have room for this precious puppy needing a second chance?
Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity.
Linda

Do I need to have the Doberman in a crate? I do have an airline crate, but it's pretty big - about 42" front to back.

Jane, I will call you today.
I fly out of the airport in Kennesaw so someone would have to meet me there. Cobb county McCollum airport.
I'm trying to coordinate with two other transports ...all needing to go south and figure out if I can fit them all!
Trying to fly either Friday afternoon (leaving no later than 2) or Saturday first thing in the morning.
I would get this one to Daytona and meet the other pilot.

One thing to keep in mind is this girl is almost blind, so she spooks easily. She might be snappy with other dogs if they're too close. At the shelter she just kept to herself when they were let out into a common area so she isn't dog aggressive, but I'm sure she wouldn't be comfortable being in tight quarters with other dogs.
