Ground Transportation
Custom delivery for $1.75 per mile from Troutville, Virginia 24175. I choose a location with cameras just off the interstate. I can meet you at Roanoke Airport ROA or I-81 exit 156 @ Brugh's Mill gas station for free. I have a group meet up for free for puppies within one hour of Baltimore, MD or Charlotte, NC scheduled monthly. The location is based on the best location for the most travelers on interstate or highway avoiding actual in city traffic and may be close to an hour outside of the city. Full payment due before the dog gets in the car.

Flight Nanny
Either myself or one of my sons will get your new puppy home safely. All flights require the $100 Certificate of Health from a veterinarian and charge a pet fee of approx. $150. Fee estimate is based on a preferably same day roundtrip ticket with refund option and a daily $350 fee for my time and effort from Roanoke Virginia ROA to the airport near you in the lower 48 USA. If you are mid to west coast, it may require a hotel and/or taxi. Shih tzu under 15 pounds can fly in cabin. Dalmatians probably can't do a flight in cabin due to size at 8 weeks old and cargo isn't for puppies, ground transport is for medium and large breed dogs. There are airlines that allow large dogs to fly in their own seat if you are willing to pay for two tickets, I will probably have to drive a few hours to reach an airport that they service. The pet has to be able to stand and turn around in a 11"H x 11"W x 18"L bag) to fit under the seat. $100 for the special health certificate needed for all public transport. I must include hotel cost if overnight layover or no flight schedule allows return same day. United States lower 48 only.
Money is due for the pup before pick up preferably 1 week prior at the latest. We can discuss special circumstances.
If we met outside of Good Dog I can give you a link to go to good dog without charging the 6% https://pay.gooddog.com/mountain-pass-barn-virginia . Cash will be checked for counterfeit or a cashier's check is acceptable. If we met on Good Dog then I must take payment on their platform, Klarna credit is available through them as well as payment by check or credit card.
If through the GoodDog platform remember you are protected in this transaction and will be reimbursed by them if I don't deliver, they protect me too in case the buyer is the bad actor who cancels the payment after taking the puppy.
