operate out of small local airports, fly high and fast, and provide a roomy,
executive class interior. The use of more, smaller aircraft allow us to
provide services much more broadly and at a more reasonable cost. During
peak times we may supplement our fleet but the Companion Air fleet is
comprised of new aircraft purchased and configured for Companion Air, our
pets and owners."

10. Here a list on which there might be some info on flying dogs, as well as
some possible opportunities to find someone to transport them as baggage
(but in cargo):
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flydogs/

11.   There are some airlines that transport dogs, in cargo. Some airlines
these days require someone to travel with the animal, and then the animal is
called baggage, even though the animal travels in cargo hold, and they
charge a set fee, usually around $75 anywhere in the U.S. A few airlines
will transport animals as cargo, meaning traveling without someone declaring
them as baggage, it can be costly, or you may find some reasonable fares.
Some airlines to check out (you can usually
find them on the internet):  US Air Cargo  Alaska Airlines (mostly west
coast only) United Airlines Delta Airlines Any others you can find

 RescueAngelsonWheels http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RescueAngelsonWheels We
are a group comprised of Rescuers who transport, Transporters who rescue, or
Big Hearted Animal Loving volunteers willing to help with both.

 At the recommendation of our consulting veterinarian, Continental Airlines
will now require the following to reduce stress and heat exposure, when
shipping or  handling the above-mentioned breeds: Use 1 size larger kennel
than is normally required. Use a kennel with ventilation on 4 sides. (If the
kennel does not have
ventilation on 4 sides, modify the kennel by drilling 7 holes in the rear
top and 7 holes in the rear bottom of the kennel using a 3/4 inch keyhole
bit). Acclimate the animal to the kennel by letting the animal spend time in
the kennel for several days before their departure. Do not place food in the
kennel during the flight, just water. Provide plenty of water to the animal
(including frozen water bottles with tiny holes punched in the sides makes a
great watering tool for several hours when placed in the kennel's watering
dish).
