Hi Debbie,
Is there a reason that he has to be flown or could a ground transport get him to AL? Just wondering?

This is the third time I've seen a reply by icequeenTN questioning the original poster's request for a flight on the Pilots N Paws website. Is it just me, or is this inappropriate?

Yes, Jeff. I have noticed the same thing. I don't understand why a pilot would discourage someone from requesting a rescue flight. Seems strange to me.

hi marge! im trying to get him to his new home as quickly as possible-hes been in the "slammer" for over 2 months now an outside doghouse inside a cement run. its getting cold here in indiana 40's in the evening. he was used to a warm house and a couch. im trying to set up ground transport as well but they dont always work-i transport on weekends and sometimes the runs dont get filled. i feel for this guy! we have paid alot for his release and id like to see him just GO HOME!! thanks! deb

hi jeff! are you a pilot in alabama?

hi jeff! are you a pilot in alabama?

Hi debbig, yes I am. I'm booked this weekend doing a PnP flight from Huntsville to Greenville, SC and am out of town the next 5 weekends after that. However, if you can find someone to fly/drive the dog to the Owensboro, KY area during the week, I'll see if I can take off work to pick him up there and take him on to Albertville, AL.

So was this IceQueenTN person offering to do ground transport or just questioning why you were requesting a flight? If it's the former, then that's great...if it's the latter, they shouldn't be posting on here.

oh my goodness! ok, im getting fired up here! tell me what date you need Rufus and im going to try like hell to get him there-even if it means driving him from indiana myself!!! may i call you? so much easier to communicate by phone if that is ok.

my home is 219-972-1147 my cell is 219-427-2110 but its charging now!
that woman inquired but that was the end of it-was she nosey or concerned? she did not offer anyting merely wanting to know why i would be posting a request....
you KNOW you will be in the newspapers...our town is small but this will be a HUGE PR for PnPs. please call me at home so we can arrange this
you are my new best friend!

debbieg,

It will depend on the weather, which does look good on Thursday and Friday on the long range forecast. Let's say Thursday Oct. 14th, with Friday Oct. 15th as the backup. I will email you my phone contact info. I will also need the contact info for the person in Albertville, AL who will be picking the dog up.
