Number of animals being transported: 1 adult, 5 puppies (Mother and litter)

Health condition: Poor, mother has demodex mange as do her puppies and needs specialized emergency care at our Memphis veterinary partners
Heartworm status: Unknown

Spayed/neutered: no- not medically stable for surgery
Special needs: This mother and her family were found covered in demodex mange and are listed for euthanasia. PAWS New England will take them in, get them access to what will be thousands of dollars in specialized medical care, and eventually adopt out this entire family, but we need to get them to Memphis where we have all our infrastructure

Name and contact for Receiving rescue/parties: same
Are you a 501c3: Yes
Date ready for transport: 7/2, 7/3, 7/4, or 7/5
Additional info/situation: This is truly an emergency. PAWS does not typically work out of this shelter and therefore we have very limited resources and local volunteers who are able to help us. This would be a true life-saving mission

I could fly to Sherman, TX on the 5th of July and pick up Mom and pups and fly them back to the Covington, TN Airport. Sherman, TX is North Northeast of the Dallas Ft. Worth metro plex. The airport ID is SWI and it is located just East of the city of Sherman. Don't confuse it with the North Texas Regional , ID GYI.

I'm also hoping a DFW based pilot will see your request and offer to help by meeting me halfway.

DFW pilots- is anyone able to help out Jim? I can't even tell you how grateful we would be for your assistance.. Please let us know.

Jim, do you mind shooting me an email at [email protected]- making some progress on a driver to get them to Sherman and just needed some more details about when you think you (or another pilot helping) might be looking to meet in Sherman, TX.

Many thanks!
Kelly

I have had two other request for the same time period. Unless you can find another pilot in the DFW area, I will have no choice but to cancel my offer.

Due to the fact that no Covington, TN rescues were listed on this request, I'm will not fly this transport.

Desperate for someone to come forward for this trip. With this cancellation, it is highly probable that this family will die in animal control. They are NOT SAFE. As this area is outside our catchment, PAWS New England has no fosters in this area that can take this family. Our only resource was that someone was willing to take this family to meet one of the pilots. Begging and pleading for someone to come through for this family.

I will fly to Sherman , TX and pick up the dog and pups and fly them beck to Covington, TN Airport.
Please provide the name and names of the folks for both the Texas Rescue and Tipton CO Rescue and rescue people who will meet me. I will also need their contact phone numbers. The weather might be an issue in the DFW area for tomorrow but will know more later.
