I flew about a month ago with one of mine. Although she
was tiny no one even looked at her to see her size. They
wanted the money at the counter and that was it. I think
you'll be just fine. You might want to see if the rescue
person is willing to start the dog on getting used to being
confined in a travel type of bag now so once the time
comes it won't come as a completely new experience.
I personally wouldn't sedate an animal to travel unless it
was absolutely necessary. You might want to talk to the
vet about that and get his thoughts. Good luck with the
new furkid! Your doing a very kind thing going to the extent
you are for your friend and this dog. I am in AZ so if there
would be some problem get ahold of me and I will help you
out if something does go wrong. Tell your hubby to have
a safe trip!
