We adopted a 7 year old Ridgeback through a FreeRepublic appeal several years ago. He was in California and we were in Ohio. The Calif. freeper made the flight arrangements (we paid) All I remember it was a cargo plane with a layover in Wisconsin or someplace. We were told ahead of time, if there was a delay there might be an extra charge to put him up in a "Doggie Hotel" so he had air conditioning and wasn't stuck in some holding cell or warehouse. I don't think it cost more than $400 AND what was really cool...all of the employees at the Dayton Airport applauded when our beloved 60 lb. "drugged" Rusty came lumbering out of his cage to meet us. Sadly he died a year ago of lymphoma BUT we had 5 wonderful years with him.

Anyway, I think there is good safe stuff out there. Just need to do the homework. Goodluck!!!

Awwww. My son’s pup pup would have to make 4 transfers. If she ever comes up it will be by car.

Two of my favorite dogs that have ever owned me were Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Lucky you saw the FR appeal before I did, or I would have gotten that RR first. LOL!
