FILLED!! Chambersburg PA to Chicopee MA *12 - 20 Sep* 2 Paps

Post by pupsavr4life » Fri Sep 11, 2009 4:31 am

I've tried posting this to the PilotsNPaws5000 forum, but for some reason, it's rejecting the sending zip code of 17202, which after checking with the USPS, is accurate.

We're seeking a volunteer pilot from Chambersburg, PA to either Chicopee, MA or Hartford, CT, for 2 Papillons, sometime between Sep. 12th and Sep. 20th. The weekend of Sep. 12-13 is much preferred.

Please meet Bandit & Cocoa!

These 2 Papillons are being surrendered by their owner in Sunbury, OH and are trying to get to rescue in Chicopee, MA. Standard volunteer ground transport has been arranged and filled from OH to Breezewood, PA, but the 3 remaining PA/NJ/CT legs needed to get them to MA are not filling. However, a rescue volunteer has offered to bring the dogs to her home in Chambersburg, PA and hold them until a flight can be arranged. The receiving foster home is willing to pick up in Hartford, CT, if that's easier.

Bandit is a 5yo, 7# male, sweet and cuddly, and loves to give kisses. Cocoa is a 2yo, 5# female, very bonded to Bandit, also sweet, but timid of strangers at first. Both are altered, UTD, internal/external parasite free, clean, traveling with their own crates (2 crates, 24”L x 14.5”W x 17.5”H each) and all paperwork (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and vet records). For their safety and yours, dogs must remain in their crates during the flight. Rescue is Papillon Haven Rescue, http://www.paphaven.org.

If you're available to help, please contact me ASAP at [email protected] or 918-671-0123!! Their ground transport is due to depart Saturday morning, Sep. 12th, so I would need to hear back from someone no later than Friday evening, Sep. 11th...TONIGHT.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

I added 17202 to the zipcode list, so you can post this to the other list. The one I have doesn't include updates. I guess you get what you pay for.

If it happens again, just use a nearby zipcode, and let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Tanya,

You can contact pilots rather than waiting for them to read your post. Considering that you want a transport tomorrow, directly emailing them is your best bet. Check the mileage and break the total distance down to 300 mile legs so you know how many pilots the trip will require, and let them know which leg you're requesting.

Best of luck!

Thanks, but I tried that...it's something I always do. The GoogleMap would open, but no one's info would pop up, hence making it impossible to contact them individually.

This transport has been filled!! Thank you to John Lee for arranging, and to Jerry the pilot who is flying them from Harrisburg, PA to Hartford, CT on Sunday, Sep. 13, weather permitting! I'll update with Jerry's full name once I know it. :)

Yes, I noticed the map hadn't been working properly for about 10 days. That was maddening! But the glitch has been fixed now; if it happens again, another option is scanning the pilots' introduction forum since they usually put location in the subject line. I'm so glad your transport came together. There are some really awesome and caring pilots here!

I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the way the pilots work together in the northeast. Perhaps it's because the area is more saturated with pilots, but whatever the reason, my experience with this particular transport has been wonderful!
