Additional Info/situation:

I thought my request needed to be cancelled, because a ground transporter volunteered to cover it, but that fell through the same day and I don't know how to get my request back to the main Ride Board. Can it be moved back, so that the message string isn't lost?

Here's what I originally wrote:
Shiner was pulled from the Mesquite shelter a month ago and has been in temp foster while we make sure he isn't ill. She also got him vetted and neutered. It's now time to get him to his rescue group so he can go to adoption events and find his permanent home.

Shiner's foster mom lives in Royse City, and can drive him to any reasonably close airport of your choosing. Destination is 5C1 (Boerne Stage Field). We can do this as one flight or two, so if you can only do half the distance let me know and we'll work with it.

It looks like we'll have decent weather this weekend, for a change, but still with some clouds. I'm sure you have better weather information than I do, so please let me know when it looks like would be the best time to fly. We'll work with your schedule.

Thank you for all you do for the homeless animals!
I later added:
Here's another possibility. I now have a ground transporter willing to drive from Leander, TX, to San Antonio. We now only need to cover from Royse City to Georgetown (GTU).
Can the original be restored to the Ride Board, or should I just continue with this one? I've not run into this before.

Thank you for any advice or help!

The Spring flight was cancelled, so let me check the weather to be sure it will be safe to fly tomorrow morning. I will post an update tonight.

Weather should be good. Just emailed you in case you check that more often.

Thank you for another PnP flight well done. Shiner arrived in Austin early, and is now safely in rescue in San Antonio. If you got any photos along the way, please post them. I hope Shiner was a good boy on the trip.

Shiner was extremely well-behaved. It was a pleasure flying with him
