We offer shipping to potential families so that no matter where the new family lives, they can get the puppy of their dreams. Shipping is additional. We have safely shipped many puppies over the years. We have puppies all over the United States and Canada. As a service that is offered, we would also like to provide potential families with detailed information on how this works. I will also provide Delta's Pets First information that they have listed on their website.
To be able to ship our puppy to their new family there specific information that we need from the new family as well as certain requirements. We need your name and address as it appears on your driver's license. We also require 2 telephone numbers. This is to make sure we can reach you should something happen (switched flights, delayed flights, etc.) We also need to know the name and location of your local airport.
Below is information taken from their website concerning their policy on the shipment of live animals.
We know your pet is an important member of the family. Be sure you know all the scoop on keeping him safe and secure.

Delta reserves the right to refuse live animals as checked baggage and as cargo if the animal's health is in question and/or if the health of the animal may be jeopardized by extreme conditions.
Additional Restrictions for Pug or Snub-nosed Dogs and Cats
Pug or snub-nosed dogs and cats are not hot-weather animals and therefore do not thrive in warm temperatures. As a precaution, Delta will not accept them as checked baggage or as air cargo if the temperature on any part of their trip exceeds 70 degrees F.

A health certificate is required when shipping your pet as air cargo. While Delta does not require a health certificate for carried-on or checked pets, upon arrival, the certificate may be required by the state. For clarification, please call your veterinarian or see the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Veterinary Services.
The certificate must be issued by a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of transport. The certificate must contain:
If the shipper knows that the pet is pregnant, it must be noted on the health certificate.
If your pet is traveling during winter months and is accustomed to low temperatures, you may be able to facilitate the journey by obtaining two copies of an acclimation certificate from your veterinarian. USDA regulations require that this certificate be issued no more than ten days before departure. The acclimation certificate must contain:
When you check in your pet, you will be asked to complete a live animal checklist. When you sign this checklist, you are confirming that your pet has been offered food and water within four hours of check-in. On the checklist you must also give feeding and watering instructions for a 24-hour period. If in-transit feeding is necessary, you must provide food.
The use of pet tranquilizers at high altitudes is unpredictable. If you plan to sedate your pet, you must have written consent from the pet's veterinarian. This information must be attached to the kennel. Please keep in mind that Delta agents cannot administer medication of any kind.
