| I would be careful in doing this, if you can, speak with the breeder before you ship out, when I was a vet tech we had a few clients whom bought dogs online, got them shipped, and they were very, very sick....but good luck!

YT Addict | We are not getting the puppy from a breeder or anything. Quick background - the owner had a heart attack a few days after he got his yorkie. He is unable to keep the puppy. My sister in law, who lives in the same area, is going over to his house tonight to pick up the puppy. I am not worried at all about the health of my new baby, but the thoughts of him being on an airplane for 3 hours scares me to death! I am trying to arrange the best and safest way to get him home. |

| I have had a 45 lb tortoise shipped to me by Delta Dash. I had no problems at all. Never had a puppy shipped though. How old is the puppy? How much does he weigh?

| We had a toy poodle brought via Continental from Oregon to New York. She was none the worse for wear. She was about 4 pounds or so. |

| You could also post an ad on craigslist in that area... sometimes you can find someone who is flying in to your area and you can give them a little something to bring the dog under their seat. |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | I don't know if I'd trust craigslist, but definitely ask around and see if anyone you know is making that flight. It's much safer if the pet is hand-carried in the cabin. If there's any local forums you belong to or can access, sometimes you can put out a note asking if anyone is traveling to the area. Good luck.

YT Addict | The baby is 13 weeks, and weighs 1 lb. I am very fortunate that my sister in law lives near him and is going to pick him up. She is also taking him to her vet on Monday, before taking him to the airport. He is up to date on all his shots and well puppy exam. |

In another post (thread now removed), you said to the person who is giving up this yorkie (due to the gentleman's health problems) that you and your husband were driving up from Georgia to Arizona to pick this puppy up. Is that no longer an option? Can someone in your family fly w/ him?

YT Addict | We really wanted to drive to Arizona, but due to DH job we can't make that happen. Believe me, I am so worried about flying him here, but right now I don't have any options.

YT Addict | OK, now I am freaking out.......Some are telling me that it will be OK, they have done it and some are saying NO! What to do? I think I have almost convinced my DH to let me fly out to get him. Say a prayer he will say OK....

| I'm sure it's done often, but I think one thing we do know is that it is not nearly as safe as a cabin ride. IMO, it is much better to fly out there.
