April 15-17: Transport planning, planning and more planning!

ACDRA volunteers looked into transporting options to move all 6 dogs north together. A paid transport would make it all easy, but it cost $600 – too much considering all the medical costs we had to consider.  So we put out a call for volunteers and others to drive a few hours of a long leg transport. Unfortunately, there were big stretches along the transport route where there was no one to help.

Enter Pilot ‘n Paws – an amazing organization of pilots who offer free flights to dog rescues for the sole purpose of moving dogs to safety. If we could find a pilot who would get Chase and Tucker close to where Graham lived, they could meet up and we just might be able to manage a leg transport from that point.

An idea is born! The PLANES, VANS & AUTOMOBILES Rescue Transport!

We will move Chase and Tucker BY AIR from South Carolina to Williamsburg, Virginia. Pat Isaacs, an ACDRA volunteer, will meet the plane and drive the boys north of Richmond.

Graham will DRIVE the Fab 4 from Goldsboro, North Carolina to Richmond, Virginia.

And Cheryl Gentry, ACDRA volunteer and the intended foster mom of Tucker and Chase, will DRIVE and DRIVE and DRIVE from Coatesville, PA to the same spot in Richmond to meet all dogs and drive them back to PA.

All in one day!
