    I’m in need of arranging transport for a senior shepherd in a shelter in Ga. to my home in Ca. does anyone have any options for me?

      There are several pet transport groups that can help you or direct you to help. Many can be found on yahoo groups. Go to this link and “join” one or some of the groups and tell them your situation. They are very experienced and knowledgeable about transport.

      Given the distance (across country), a good start might be Pilots ‘n Paws.

      Also, if you can give me a few more details, we can tweet it to see if anyone has more ideas.

    I work for a shelter in WV and am in need of transport to Long Island, NY. I have a pregnant dog that needs to get there asap before she delivers. Can you help with this?

  3. Heather H says:

    If you know of transports in Canada, I’d really appreciate it if at some point in time, you emailed me – always looking for transports in Canada – thanks!

What do you think?
