Flight godparents needed on Condor to accompany dogs to Germany

This is a fantastic initiative, I have met many people here on holiday, who fall in love with a beach or street dog and want to take them back to their Country.

Sadly flights direct to the UK costs are extremely expensive, I know as I have flown 5 dogs and 2 cats over the last few years, the last one costing Rs57,000. But they can go unaccompanied and are then met at the airport by the people who are adopting them.

The airline that the poster above is talking about takes dogs and cats very very cheaply but they can not fly alone, they must be accompanied hence the post asking for god parents. (If I recall the cost for a dog on Condor airlines is only 250 Euro's a massive saving than on other airlines.) The dog does not actually sit next to you its in its crate in the hold with the suitcases

So if a tourist who has fallen in love with a dog, then contacts paws, they help, find a foster home if no room at paws, and then the dog is sterilised, micro-chipped and vaccinated, 30 days later the dog can fly to its new home.

Many people do not realise but when the dog is taken to the airport it is given a full body x ray including the crate - also the guys at the airport know that many people travel on Condor as god parents for PAWS - there is nothing unusual in this.

My friends recently did this for 2 dogs, her and her husband were god parents for 2 dogs, all went exceptionally well, in fact they have kept in touch with the new owners via FB, they then stayed in Frankfurt for a holiday for 4 days

Hope you will pass this onto your friends , I understand that there are many dogs needing homes in our own Countries but if a person wants the dog then it is their choice on how they choose to spend their money and as the saying goes: Saving One Animal Won't Change the World But It Will Change The World For That One Animal.

Hi topdogij!

That's amazing work that you are doing. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who is traveling that route but could you tell me if PAWS would pay for the passenger's flight please?

Thanks
