Does anyone here have experience with transporting a dog across country?

I do not but my suggestion is try contacting a local animal rescue. There may be someone who is willing to do this for you for a fee or donation. I have friends that do animal rescue for local dog groups and they coordinate legs of trips to get animals from the southeast to the northeast and stuff like that.

Are you buying a pup from a breeder? They will usually arrange the transportation. Unfortunately, I don’t have direct experience of this.

@jca, yes, some of the rescue groups may do a private transport, but I was looking for names of any group or service that is known to do this.

@janbb alas, no, that would be too easy. This is for an abandoned senior dog. But you have given me the idea to contact a couple of breeders that I know here to see what they can suggest. thanks!

And @jca, thanks, the local folks might indeed know. I’m sorry if I sounded ungracious, this is all tied up with an awful situation.

Well, I’ve been burning up the internet over the last hour, and just got the good news that the dog has found a home. This is a good thing, and one positive note in a dire situation.

It’s ok, @canidmajor. I’m glad the dog found a home.
