Chicago, IL - Bowie, MD: Mar 20 / 21 - One English Setter

Post by SetterDown » Sat Mar 13, 2010 1:20 pm

Pilots -

Illinois Birddog Rescue is seeking transport for one super cute female English Setter... Ophelia. (Take a look at her blog: http://ibrophelia.blogspot.com) This little angel was transported into Illinois Birddog Rescue by her pilots-n-paws "angels" - where she received treatment for a variety of ailments, including a mastectomy - and now has been adopted by a loving family in Maryland. She can't wait to settle down and soak in the love of her family... all she needs is a ride! (Oh, and as I mentioned - Ophelia has already logged a few flight hours for her log book and she makes an EXCELLENT co-pilot!

Ophelia weighs about 45lbs, she is spayed, healthy and happy! She will absolutely be sent with a sturdy collar, harness and leash. Can you help us with the following transport? (Ophelia will be VERY grateful!)


DETAILS:
Dog: Ophelia, English Setter, approximately 45lbs
Transport from: Chicago, IL (area) - pilot's choice of airport in that area!
Transport to: Bowie, MD (area) - any airport in that area!
Dates: Saturday, Mar 20th or Sunday, Mar 21st

LEGS OF TRANSPORT:
(These are just suggestions - we are flexible!)
Leg 1: Chicago, IL (area) - Columbus, OH (area) - (Ohio airport is flexible... pilot's choice!)
Leg 2: Columbus, OH (area) - Bowie, MD - (Maryland area airport is flexible... pilot's choice!)

** I am NOT a pilot, so if our volunteering pilots prefer a different meeting place (other than columbus, OH) we can certainly make that change based on your preferences! Each leg is roughly 250 - 290 nm - if I need to build a 3rd leg into this transport I can.

Thanks so much everyone!

- Michelle

I'm available this Friday if you could get the dog to Morgantown, WV. I would fly there from my base at Ft Meade, MD (ca. 300 mile round trip), which is not far from Bowie.
Unfortunately unable to do Sat or Sunday. Let me know if this will help.
