Okay, DUers, show us how tuned in you are to offbeat requests for info

Need info on companies (reliable, of course) shipping a dog from Greece to the US. I've been online and learned that Greece is a no risk rabies country. I think a rabies vaccination would be a good idea anyway. Next step. Find a reliable company that will ship the dog to the US. I'm searching for companies and have already eliminated one for bad online reviews. I'm keeping fingers crossed that this won't be the case for every company I search. At this stage in my search, I think I'll end up using an airline directly.

In a previous life, I lived overseas and took my dogs with me. But they traveled on the same plane as me, so that was almost easy, if sometimes a bit comical. In one situation, I arranged separate transport from South Africa to the US, but even if I could remember the company I used, I'm going to bet that they wouldn't be shipping from Greece.

Thanks.

They adopt out dogs internationally and must have trusted carriers.

I'm pretty sure Takis Shelter in Greece also does international adoptions.

I would shoot them an email and see if they can recommend a trusted carrier.

Or a Facebook message or comment. The dog lovers reading the FB page might also have experience in this area.
