Does anyone know of any airline that transports dogs from the states into Halifax Nova Scotia. I have tried 2 Delta and Continental. And they don't have pressurized (SP??) planes that fly into there. They fly to Toronto but because of the pet embargoe here in Canada there is no way for me to get Ash (Ash is the Weim that I adopted)from Toronto to Nova Scotia. :'( Anyone know of any other airlines that I can call?

Does anyone know how the Weim train works?

I'm not sure how to help you! Best of luck with your Weim though... my friend needs to get rid of his, I was wanting to take it in.... I wish... Again, best of luck to you! And when Ash, comes home, we need pictures!

Try searching some of the yahoo groups for rescue transport - it does not have to be weimeraner specific.You will need to put out request specifically for a transport coordinator. T.C.s have experience along with a database of transport volunteers on your route to help. Routes are established and these are really the pros. Just make sure that they are official by flat asking publicly. I am sorry that I have no contacts in Canada to give you - I have worked only with the US. The very best of luck to you.

where are you trying to get him from?

A good friend of mine her SIL is a flies small planes, I could ask her, they are located in London, ON. If land transport is the end, I might be able to help ???

Will you be coming with critters or no? Maybe we could do a small meet up?

I called United, they fly to Toronto, but they don't fly out of Georgia. The closet they fly out of is North Carolina. I'll be doing some more calling.

I put a call in waiting to hear back, I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything , keeping my fingers crossed, if he can't help he might have an idea who can

That would be great. Delta can fly him to Toronto, I am thinking that would be the best option.
Thanks so much.

Have I mentioned how much BPO and everyone on BPO Rocks? ;D
-
I have everything crossed here Nina. BPO helped me get Phoenix from Kentucky to Niagara...so it can happen, and it will happen :)
Thanks so much ;D Delta can fly him to toronto. It is just getting him from there to Halifax. But I have faith that it can happen.

I'm in Maine, about 15 minutes from the Portland Airport. I might be able to help if you could get him to there. Unfortunately I don't think the Cat ferry is running from Portland to Halifax this time of year but I could probably drive him as far as maybe Moncton,NB.
-
I just checked with my FIL(a manager at Halifax airport), and he said you should try United Airlines. They do take dogs and they do fly into Halifax. I hope that this might help you a little. I live 10 minutes from the Halifax airport and am willing to help in any way I can!
-
I don't remember if you said when you are wanting this all to happen, they won't let small planes go up right now as we got hit with a crazy amount of snow, so let me know some more of the plans when you get a sec.

Thanks I'll see if that is a possibility. Moncton super close to Halifax. I'll have to check on dates. Thanks so much ;D
I'll know more when I get to work, then I'll be making calls.

Don't know if this is still needed, but maybe somebody else will need it eventually. I wish I could help in some way, but I am in upstate NY :(

Westjet flies dogs.One of my friends shipped a dog from Halifax to Hamilton recently for breeding. Doesn't help with the US end, only the Canadian. I also would try an arrange someone to make sure the dog changes planes OK. I am not a big truster of the airlines. Another friend was telling me that Air Canada baggage compartments are not heated, she had to sign a waiver went shipping a dog recently.
-
Harley just flew Westjet. They are great. That was my original plan but the pet embargoe for them starts On Dec 12 and does not end until Jan 11. :-\ AirCanada's is from Dec 19 to Jan 6. But it scares me that it is not heated. If I end up going with them I'll have to make sure that there is a big blanket with him.

the dog'll be fine on the plane my mums jack russel had 11 hours of flying when i brought him over and he was fine.
the only problem we had was that when he landed for the last time as the people were getting him out he cocked his leg and managed to pee on the porters leg lol
-
WOOOHOOO we have transport all set up! We are having Ash flown to Maine and Michael (mjjensen) has has offered the most wonderful thing ever! He is going to drive him Moncton New Bruswick. We are going to meet him there. So we get to bring Ash home on December 28. I am so happy! ;D Thank you to everyone for all the help. ;D
Edit: This is the best Christmas present I could have ever asked for :)
