Yes, I will have to let you know a def date. We are flying a Dalmatian down to central Florida as soon as the weather clears some and that may be Saturday. Would Sunday or Monday work? We were hoping to get the Florida girl down there today :(

Yes Sunday or Monday will work I believe! Just let me know and I will confirm with the shelter. Thank you.

There's another dog needing to go from N. AL to S. Tx. I have volunteered for the S. Tx part of the route and we have another who volunteered for the LA portion. Any chance you could do a 2fer?

See July 2 post Adopted:Puppy Needs a Ride Home; LA-SE/TX filled!
From TUSCALOOSA, AL(35404) To MCALLEN, TX(78504)

Jim, I assume you are asking the pilot this question, right? I am the person trying to transport the dog from AL to Shreveport.

Hi Jim, we will be taking this hound dog on Monday probably and hopefully they will be bringing her or him (?) to the Shelby Co. Airport just S. of Birmingham. If you could get the puppy there, we could certainly take it as well ;)

I've contacted the shelter director about Monday, and will let you know as soon as I hear back.

Paul and Lilly, the temp foster in Shreveport backed out moments ago. Someone is coming to pick up Trace in Shreveport on Friday. Is there any way we could delay your trip until then (a week from today)? If not, I have a Plan B that I'm checking into. This is so stressful. I need to get Trace out of AL! Thank you again.

Hi again! My plan B is available on Monday! So we are set, if you can still fly. I believe you're delivering a dog to Florida today, so if could contact me tomorrow, I'd appreciate it. I have to get the dog from Florence, AL to the Shelby Co airport, and then coordinate pick-up in Shreveport.

If you prefer to call me, my cell is 847.815.6396, or my email is [email protected]. Thank you! I'm very excited and relieved that this is close to working out.

Hi Sonya, We have been slammed with torrential rains and don't know when we will be able to fly. We still need to get this pup to Tallahassee and don't have a def date for that because of weather. It looks like now we can only get as far as Jackson, MS, we have had to push so many things back this last few days. Let me know if that would work and I am so sorry for having to back out of doing the whole trip. Lilly

Lilly, I will inform everyone of the delay. We are so grateful that you're willing to help, so I'm sure it won't be a problem if there's a short delay. I will check back with you in a few days to see how it's going.
