We ended up getting Clarissa by ground transport.
Clarissa, an approximately five-year old very sweet heartworm positive female basset being saved from kill shelter in Hattiesburg MS. The shelter took in allegedly 1,400 animals in the last 3 to 4 weeks, so we needed to move her out quickly. She has been given her vaccinations, will have a health certificate to travel, and will be treated for heartworm once she has arrived in the safety of our rescue.
We have been able to get some ground transport for Saturday, July 24 and need assistance getting Clarissa up to Allentown, PA (Queen City Airport) on Sunday, July 25th.
We traditionally can be very flexible in where we meet the pilot bringing her into the PA/NJ area. In the past, we have met pilots at Reading Airport, Queen City (Allentown) Airport, WestTrenton-Mercer Airport and Caldwell Airport. We have volunteers in other parts of NY, NJ and PA as well who could assist.
I know this is an extremely long distance request, but we are hoping to pull this off in either one or two days, depending on whether we can get overnight foster for Clarissa should the need be to fly her in two different days.
Would love to see her come in this weekend, but next weekend is also good!

Re: Basset from Hattiesburg MS to PA/NJ - we are flexible
There is also another person trying to get three dogs up from MS to ME. I could have our basset rescue join her's as part of an overall transport.

Updated post to show Sunday route possibility for pilots.
Any assistance with the transport throughout by pilots would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Basset from Marion VA to Harrisburg or Allentown PA
If it's any help, I could pick up the dog on Aug. 1 at either Harrisonburg (Shenandoah Valley) or Winchester, VA and take her to Allentown. Would prefer pickup
no later than 1 to 1:30 PM, if possible. Let me know if this will help.
