Not wanting to go through the airlines to ship my dog back to the ranch she grew up on in So. Cal, I did a search for pet transport and landed at UShip. After placing an ad I receiving 4 bids immediately. I received a question before the bid from my shipper stating that she was going through Amarillo and heading to Ranch (10 min from final destination). The interesting thing about it is the final destination is out in the middle of now where. Her bid was reasonable and so I accepted it. When we were able to talk to make final arrangements, turns out that her father is the dept. sherrif in the very small community my parents live, my parents know her father and they have done business together in the past. WHAT A SMALL WORLD. I handed my dog over to them without a worry in the world. She was delivered back to her puppyhood home, happy, safe and sound. I highly recommend using this shipper.
