wow--I am in upstate NY--but am geographically challenged in terms of figuring out who is closest, and all!! LOL! Ok--this looks like it could be possible...now I have to work out some details--that will determine when we could do this. I appreciate everyone volunteering -- you are all amazing! Stay tuned for more info--have to talk to Jess, and JFrick some more!

Aww, I would love to help, but it doesn't sound like you are coming anywhere near Saskatchewan LOL.

It is amazing how Chaz people are the most helpful and willing people in the whole world!

from someone who has coordinated multiple cross country transports for animals, heres some advice -

first, we need to know starting town and ending town. if you feel uncomfortable stating your hometown,then pick one nearby. that way people interested in helping can see what an approximate route is.

second, make up legs to the transport using major breaks, i try to keep most legs 1-2 hours, otherwise people get tired and dont want to do all the backtracking.

third, we need to know what the animal is travelling with. has it had all its vaccines? how does it ride in a car? does it come with a crate if it needs one? some people dont want a strange dog (potentially puppy) loose in the car if it may have an accident, so they need to make plans. is the dog microchipped? healthy?

that's just a start...

GREAT points doberkim & from a driver POV they are important points. I've done transport a few times. It can be stressful but is made so much easier if some homework is done.

That being said I'm near Allentown, PA & am still interested in helping if I can. I'm kinda of jonesing for some transporting. I LOVE helping to get a puppers to a new home.

Dates? You seem to be planning on going out through West Virginia, but I'm in Maryland if you decide to come up the coast.

ok all--I am still working out a few things here....and I appreciate the input from those who have done transports. It is more complicated than one realizes--so stay tuned. I have some phone calls to make tomorrow--including my vet, and then we will know if it is a go or not. Thanks again for all your offers--stay tuned for updates on my end.

I am so impressed with all of you. What an incredible thing the Internet is. You are all doing such a great thing. I wish I could lend a hand, but I'm in Idaho...not much help there.

Also, I wouldn't recommend stopping at those rest stops at all with a young puppy...just too many dogs pass through those. When I brought Lyric back from Montana, I stopped at a little gas station and asked if I could let him out back to go potty. The gal told me not to let him out anywhere in that town, as they had just had quite the parvo outbreak all over that town. So, I sanitized my shoes and drove on to somewhere else. Just be careful where you let the pup out...depending on how old the pup will be.

Anyhow, kudos to all of you and I hope it all gets coordinated just right. Let us know. Very, very exciting to be getting this pup!
