This Sat we are pulling a young dog from a shelter who had suffered from severe neglect. Prior to the shelter, he was attacked by two dogs and his eye is permanently damaged.

We need to get him to his foster home where he can get the love and healing he deserves before finding his way to his forever home.

THANK YOU for all you do!

Hi Charlie,

We might be able to combine this flight with the poodle flight.

Good morning Mark,

That'd be great if we could combine the two flights! On another not, I caught "strutitis" from you, lol. I had to service my left nain strut the other day, it was stone flat.

Thanks Mark.

I think the soonest we can fly him is next weekend. Being pulled on Sat, he won't have his health cert yet and we need to get the assessment done on his eye, find out if it is more expensive to have surgery there or here. (Rescue funds limited and all.) Apologies for not specifying--I just wanted to get the request out there but the good news is we are flexible on flying! Let me check with his temp foster now and find out the days she is available so we have a better idea.

Hi Mark and Charlie

So, Digger is getting picked up tomorrow and has an appt with the eye specialist next Wed., the 6th. He can go anytime that Wed afternoon on. Michelle in NJ is very flexible on delivery. My work schedule is crazy but I got peeps who can meet Charlie at PWM.

Hope the skies are smiling upon us!

THANKS!
