Additional Info/situation:These girls will die if we can not get them to rescue here in Colorado, I have been working on transport for days to no avail. The pit bull only has three legs and I figure she has suffered enough, now it's time for a chance at a forever home. Her and her sister and brother were dumped and they won't tell me what happened to the brother so I guess you know what that means. ok guys, I have a gentle man willing to get the girls from a few places in Kansas to Colorado, anybody willing to get them from Houston to Kansas?

Depends on the pilots. Houston - Dallas area (Houston-Dennison is 235 nm). Dennison to Garden City is over 300 nm then Garden City to Denver is 210 nm. Most of us try to keep the legs to 200-250 miles each. It also depends entirely on the speed of the airplane.

Ok, my rescue friends in Houston are telling me that they have many pilots that have been able to help with transport from Houston to Colorado. Please Houston flyers help Big Mama and Sissy. There time is closing in on them.

Hello out there, Big Mama and Sissy are still in need. I guess I somehow marked the done status but this is not the case. I have also received a plea for a bloodhound and two pointers that need to get to Colorado. Help...

Sissy and Big Mama still need a ride, Does anyone fly out of McAllan Airport in Harlingen TX? The shelter said they have driven dogs there before for transport to Houston and further. The zip code is 78550 :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
