Safe Transport
DELIVERY
There are 3 ways to get your puppy home
LOCATION
We are located along the South Carolina coast, inland of Myrtle Beach.
We drive 1 hour TOWARD YOU on Adoption Day to save you 2 hours' 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)
TRUSTED FRIENDS
If you are long-distance and need to hire a transporter, please consider our trusted friends to get your puppy home safely.
Puppies under 15 pounds may be flown into your closest major airport SAME-DAY by an experienced Flight Nanny / Manny.
Our close friend of 20 years, Robert Miranda (719-362-6678), is always my first call for same-day service. Robert is very professional, takes excellent care of my puppies with extra TLC. He is the only person to touch your puppy from my arms to yours. Your pup never leaves his sight and flies in the temperature-controlled passenger cabin.
Call Robert ASAP upon reserving your puppy, as there are several factors that go into planning a flight transport.
If your puppy cannot fly:
There are numerous Ground Transporters on the road. This is not same-day service, but it IS door-to-door. I usually meet vehicle transporters along the interstate to help them stay on schedule. While every driver out there strives to get your puppy home ASAP, your puppy may be in transit up to 3 days depending on traffic, unexpected vehicle repair and – of course, where you reside. Your puppy’s travel package includes plenty of kibble for the journey, a chew bone to help pass time, a towel or blanket from my home to keep that familiar scent in the van, and “just in case” meds to cover common things such as nervous diarrhea or carsickness, etc. My transporters stay in touch with us until you meet your puppy/dog, giving us the hopeful itinerary for each day.

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.)
