DELIVERY

There are 3 ways to get your puppy home

Drive here to pick up your pup

We drive toward YOU on Adoption Day to save YOU a few hours' driving time. Please scroll down for our safe meeting locations. You are also welcomed to drive to our home if you want to see our facilities and meet the dogs. We are in SC, inland from Myrtle Beach.

Hire a Flight Nanny

There are many flight nannies / mannies to be employed for this special, same-day delivery service. But MOST folks enjoy flying into the MYR airport to get their Dog Bluffer. I gladly drive your puppy to the MYR airport (freshly bathed) so that you can hop right back on your return flight home. Call me for details and flight options. I know the secrets to a "quiet flight" with your pup in the passenger cabin.

Hire a Van/Ground Transporter

If you live "WAY" long distance, we sometimes drive half-way or at least a few hours toward YOU, to save you some hours of driving time. BUT - we have some trusted friends (see list below) who are willing to drive your puppy from my arms to yours! This takes advanced planning, so please have your transporter contact me ASAP so that I am able to obtain the vet-issued USDA Health Certificate required by most transporters.

LOCATION

We are located along the South Carolina coast, inland of Myrtle Beach.

We drive an hour or two TOWARD YOU on Adoption Day to save you some driving time.  We also welcome you to our home if you choose to make the drive.  Some folks like to meet our entire crew and see "the Dog Bluff."

Our SC meeting places:

  • Florence = I-20 (Western Sizzlin' Steakhouse)
  • Latta = Exit 181-A where I-95 meets Hwy 38 (McDonald's Refuel Station)
  • Georgetown = Hwy 701 (Tractor Supply)
  • Little River = Hwy 9 (The Shack restaurant)

I recommend calling and interviewing your potential transporter.  Please include the following in your list of questions:

* I am adopting a (puppy or adult dog) from Angela Roberts (Dog Bluff Bulldogges), located in Galivants Ferry, SC.  She is willing to meet transporters along I-95 in Latta, SC or Florence, SC.

* My street address:  ________________

* My puppy can leave Angela anytime after __/__/__.

* When will your next route be, and will my address be along that route?

* What deposit amount do you need to hold my puppy’s space, and WHEN do you require it?   (Most transporters prefer cash balance upon delivery, but do be clear on all requirements.)

* Will my pup have water available at all times?  If not, how often do you stop to offer water to your passengers?   (Hydration is CRITICAL for all animals during transport.  Otherwise, they suffer with UTI’s and other preventable issues.)
