| Need help with getting our Domino home Hi all- I haven't been on here for a while but I thought of it first because we have an emergency. My daughter and son-in-law took our Yorkie Domino last Jan. when they moved to Missouri. Now my son-in-law has lost his job in the Air Force and they are moving into an apt. and can't take Domino. My wife and I can't afford to fly him back home to Florida. Can anyone help that might be coming from Missouri to Florida or even Georgia? We could meet anywhere in North FL or South GA. Domino is a 12 lb Silver Yorkie. He is about 8 yrs. old and according to our daughter is losing his sight. We don't want them to do something like give him away or worse. Please call or email if you can help. My number is 352-697-2232. Thank you so much. Jeff |

| I am not a believer of cargo for our little ones but in this case it is better than the alternatives for your dog. Please call your airlines and see what it would cost to ship...it could be a lot less than what you are paying in gas. Please at least call and see what the airlines say.

| I would move it but I'm not really adept at these forum boards. Thanks for the idea. If anyone wants to move this thread please do so. Jeff |

| I would totally be willing to help out, I live in KY (which I think is way out of the way though). I hope we can get a train to get Domino to his home.

| Thank you to all who have viewed this. We really appreciate the help. It doesn't matter which way he comes, either through TX or KY. If we can get him to Georgia, I can take off a day and get him about anywhere there. Bless you all for your kindness. Jeff |

| Dogs or cats can travel in the cabin, as checked luggage or unaccompanied as cargo. For other pets, you need to contact United reservations at 1-800-UNITED-1. There is a cost of $85 each way Check out this price. You cant beat this. I called but they want to know what part of Florida? Please call and ask to speak to an agent. Let me know..Lissette |

| Thanks all for the advice. I called all the major airlines. They won't take him because he is flying alone and would be cargo not carry on. He has breathing problems and they won't take a pet with any vet documented problems. I'm not giving up. If anyone has any other ideas I'm listening. My wife is really scared about my daughter giving him to a stranger. I've even contacted some rescue organizations to see if they could foster him until we could get to him. |
