PILOTS N PAWS

Hello,

One of our rescue's supporters (and my own rescued Dal Kalli's godmother) is trying to get a rescued weimaraner to it's new home near Jacksonville FL from Cullman AL. I didn't see any pilots listed in the transports cities so am posting this to the board hoping someone can help. Here is what Kathey Leggett sent me about the dog:

Anyone going or knowing of anyone headed south from Birmingham to the Jax, FL or Lake City area and would be willing to have a rescued weirmeraner along for the ride please let me know. We are trying to get Anne Marie from Birmingham to her new home in Jacksonville, Fl the 20th-21st. She is 9 months and around 50 pounds. Even if you are just going in between those 2 cities for a few miles it might make a difference in getting her home for the holidays. Also, anyone who knows of someone who might be willing to take her by air would be great too and I am more than willing to pay for fuel. Thanks guys.

She can be contacted at [email protected] to get more info. If you know anyone that might help please pass this on.

Thank-you,
Pat

Kathy,

If the weather cooperates, I could do a leg from B'ham to the southwest Georgia area. There is also a kitten trip that may take place that weekend, so SE region aircrews, let's get these figured out!

I could meet you in the Atlanta area and take the last leg down to FL on the 21st.

luvsdals, exactly where near Jacksonville is the dog going? A town name or zip code would helpful.

CleoBen...is Atlanta possible for you? Can get Anne Marie a ride from there to Jax. You can contact me at [email protected]. Thanks

Kathy,

There are several smaller airports around the Atlanta area that will work, but I don't want to fly into ATL (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International).

Brandon Ross may be able to fly the second leg to Jacksonville and save a road trip for someone.

You can e-mail me directly at [email protected]

I replied in email but to get it here too...

I'd prefer PDK as that's my home base. What time do you think you could meet me there?

Kathy,

I could meet in B'Ham Sunday morning or try to arrange a car pickup from B'Ham to Montgomery on Saturday then depart first thing Sunday morning toward the Atlanta area.

I've talked to BRoss, just need to hear from you to firm things up.

Of course, the weekend weather may dictate or limit options!

I'm happy to report that this transport is complete. Pictures are here:

I'm glad I was able to help get her to a good home.

I'd like to add my own Thank-you to everyone who made this transport a success... y'all rock! It is so nice to be able to read the following from Tibi's (formerly AnnMarie) new family :

"You all have given us the most wonderful gift of life and joy this Christmas. It has taken us this long to even entertain getting a new dog after 15 years with our Golden Maggie. Tibi has already filled that empty space and she is an absolute blessing to us. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you."

Reading this is my the best gift too.

Pat

Ps. Love the pictures bross
