I've had a puppy shipped to me and had no problems. The flight was only about 2 hours though.

What is his current body condition? Since he was left alone without food for 2 days and almost no water - he may not be able to fly for a good while.

Does the SIL have him now? Has she seen him?

You may want to PM me, bc we were unable to confirm that the original thread was..."real"...though we tried repeatedly via direct email, bc we thought a puppy's life was at stake here.

This situation is very concerning for a number of reasons. We've been trying to find out about this puppy for 3 days. Please be careful.

I had 2 fly in from Germany no problem just happy for me to get them out of the crate after a very long flight

OK - fellow yorkie lovers....my baby is flying from Arizona to Atlanta via Pet Airways. Thank you so much livingdustmops.

Has anyone ever used Pet Airways? I went on their website and they read pretty good. I was just wondering.....

My sister in law is picking him up tomorrow. She is taking him to the vet on Monday. I was a little worried at first, but after talking with Forest on the phone I feel better about it.

We are using Pet Airways to bring him home. I feel much better about that than flying him Delta Dash.

The wait in horrible....it's like being 9 months pregnant and delivering him myself!!

I hope she is not going by herself. Tell her to bring Nutrical with her, this puppy could be in serious trouble, given he was without food for 2 days -- and given the rest of the details of this story.

I need you to know that the Mods and Admin are concerned about this situation, for various reasons. If this works out and a puppy is saved, then wonderful. However, when it comes to a "free puppy" - all parties involved should be very cautious.

Ann, Is this the same puppy that was posted about on YT a couple of days ago?

I had a tortoise rescue at my home for 8 years. That was when I lived in Louisiana. I had to rehome all of them with members of my herp club when we moved to TN. It is too cold for tortoises here.

If it is, I strongly suggest that this pup travel in cabin with a qualified person that knows how to handle pups and any problems they may encounter.

Please don't let the excitement of getting a new pup get in the way of what is best for the pup.

Yes exactly! And we have not been able to confirm that this story (the person giving away this puppy) is real or not, though we've tried repeatedly. There are some things that don't add up.

If it is for real, no one means any disrespect to the person giving up the puppy or to the potential new owner. However, I wouldn't be posting this for no reason.

Please, just be careful - and if you are able to save this little puppy, *if* this is all for real, then wonderful.

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.

It sounds like it should be okay...but good luck!

Thanks Ann,

The reason I PM'd you was because I thought maybe you lived close enough to check this out or to pick up the pup.

I do hope that it does check out and there is no scam going on. And if there is a pup, I hope all checks out for the welfare of the pup.

Yes.

And if, vbayne, you want to use PetAirways, please do not fly this puppy until several weeks from now. PetAirways is an excellent option - but not for a puppy in this condition and at this age and weight.

I also offered a person that is used by very reputable breeders for transporting our new show dog puppies to new owners and females for breeding to breeders across the country
