dogslife Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Sorry to post this here but we are a little desperate on this one. We are trying to get two Rescue Great Danes from the North Coast to Adelaide. They cannot fly. (we have tried all options) One is deaf and he depends on his sister totally. We have managed to find them a home together. We have most legs covered but we are urgently trying to find someone/s to get them from Coffs Harbour to Newcastle. They have a ride Sat morn all the way to Adelaide, that we want them to catch. The drive from Coffs to Newcastle is just under 5 hours. We can help with petrol money. Lots of cuddles and slobber from the Dane are a given :laugh: :laugh: Anyone with some time on their hands??? Friday is the best option but Thursday can be organised. .

Ons Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 on my first transport mission I travelled with four coolies in a medium crate in the back of my Corolla from Sydney to WillowTree. I said to the person who brought them to me that they wouldn't fit in the crate but they did. Squashed but they did. And the person replied "it's far better that they be squished for a few hours than being left in a pound to die" and apart from the dreadful car sickness they experienced they were fine at the other end. so I'm sure that the Great Danes can be squished down to fit. Just keep reminding them of the alternatives as you drive along. Good luck with it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) If anyone can get them to Glen Innes /Armidale / Guyra from the coast, I'd be happy to do the newcastle trip with them. We have a van set up for giant breeds. But its off pay week so would definatley need help with petrol we've had huge bills this fortnight - otherwise would happily donate fuel costs. fifi eta; happy to donate the fuel costs back next week :) Edited April 11, 2012 by fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogslife Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks folks..... we think that its now sorted. A very darling man is going to collect the two and drive them the whole way from up near Qld all the way to Sydney. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
