Plans for the fall Spanish transports have been underway since the last GPS canine traveler set foot in the US this past May. Immediately following the last arrival, GPS adoption coordinator Telma Shaw began planing for the fall transports. Applications were reviewed, potential adopters interviewed, recommendations consulted, home checks arranged and hours spent on the phone/internet with the Spanish rescues to confirm that the desired galgo/podenco and potential adopter were the right fit. Once the adoption was approved, more hours were spent balancing transportation variables including flight patrons, travel from rescue to airport, costs, number of dogs per flight, arrival destination, domestic travel, weather, dog passports, human and dog tickets to purchase and crate sizing among the many t's to cross and i's to dot. We are happy to announce that the fall transports are all confirmed and 28 wonderful Spanish hounds will be traveling starting September 26 and finishing up Sunday November 8th. Below see the wonderful Spaniards traveling across the pond to their forever homes.
