What about contacting the airlines to see if they would do it again? It is really good PR for them and great for the animals. Plus they had people take each one so they all had private helpers during their trip. Just a thought. Nan and the girls or contacting Animal Planet - would make a great story or even reaching out to Chihuahua Connection Magazine maybe they might know some way to help.

If I see a chi needing rescue in another state, like CA, how would I get it to AZ... we live in Tucson. I know that there are so many needing help.... but I also think that I should rescue instate... But, you never know when one is going to speak to you... those little faces... oh my...

Deanna, I think you mentioned that a neighbor of yours works for a shelter,or a rescue? Not sure on that one, but, what if you were to call/ask Shelters for a list of Rescues that work with other out of state Rescues, that way when some one in our group like Pam in FL, and Ellen in IN, would be able to adopt from a CA shelter. It may be possible for you to even see the dog first, if it is in a shelter close to you. Here's the way it would work. A CA rescue pulls the dog for a rescue in FL. The Florida rescue (or any state) does the home check and app work for the person who wants to adopt in FL (or any state). The two rescues are the ones who work out the transporting. That's the way that the Southern states do it. They use pre-approved local Rescues who pulls the dog out of a shelter and puts it in boarding wile the the paper work is being done and the dog receives it rabies shot for the out of state adopter. The local rescue is actually working with the out-of-state rescue to do the home check and coordinate the transport. So why not do the same thing for the dogs that are in CA to other states? But some one has to get the list of the CA rescues first, in order to get things rolling. Once we have that list, then any one will be able to save all those Chi's in CA. What do you think? If you go on the Dogs in danger site and put in for CA-Chihuahua their are hundreds of them in the shelters, some of the shelters also have video's of the dogs on u-tube.
