Hi... Yes, this will be his forever home... my husband just fell in love with him. I found pettalk by just doing a search in yahoo for dog transports :-). I don't know anyone near there, but the lady said she could probably take him a short distance - I'll make sure everything is square with her before the first person gets him.

If you need any other info, let me know! :-)

here's the message I've made up in the meantime

PERMISSION TO CROSS POST!!!!!!!

Hi!

I am adopting a dog from a high-kill GAS shelter and need emergency transport on Thursday to get him to Cleveland, Ohio! He will be gassed on Friday if I do not get to him in time!

Basically what I mostly need is the first legs of the trip – I can drive as far as necessary, but ANY distance closer to me is better than having to drive all the way down!

Here are the legs:

1. Kingwood, WV (the shelter) to Waynesburg, PA
2. Waynesburg, PA to Pittsburgh, PA
3. Pittsburgh, PA to Youngstown, OH
4. Youngstown, OH to (near) Kent, Ohio (basically the I-80 & I-480 interchange).

I can definitely meet near Kent, or further if necessary.

He is 1 1/2yo, NOT neutered. I don’t know the status of his shots, as they don’t do any vet care there, but he has been dewormed. I have been told he will ride fine in the car without a crate.

The adoption hours for the shelter are Tuesdays (which I doubt anything could get done today) and Thursdays 9am-5pm. I get out of work typically at 4pm, but I am able to leave really at any time depending on the time the transport will get to Kent.

Please e-mail me at [email protected]. I really want to get this dog out of the shelter!

He will come and have a forever home at my house with my husband and I, our guinea pigs and our other rescue dog (who gets along great with other dogs and is a beagle mix himself).

Here is a link to the boy we want to bring home: http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action=2&pet=4995110

I am willing to do a transport in return for your help! I can drive up to one hour in any direction from Cleveland, Ohio (or to Erie, PA).

Thanks!
Amber
