Shurbeez Shih Tzu offers a few ways to get your new baby home to you...
At the time you pick your puppy we will ask you to let us know how you'd like to pick-up your puppy.
Here are your options:
1. Pick up your puppy at our home - we can arrange for you to come to our home on Go-Home Day. Because we have multiple puppies that go home the same day we must pre-schedule all visits so that we have adequate time necessary to meet with you, answer any questions, etc.
**We ask that you arrive promptly at the time that we arrange.
2. Pick up your puppy at Spokane International Airport - if you live out of state or far enough away that you would like to fly into our local airport, we can arrange to meet you at the airport with your puppy.
**You must bring a small, soft sided pet transportation bag with you for the puppy. Your puppy will be allowed in the cabin with you, but will not be allowed to remain on your lap. You must have an 'enclosed' bag (treated as a carry-on bag) and will be allowed under the seat in front of you. Most airlines will charge a fee to transport your puppy with you ($100-$150) you must let the airline know when you book the flight - they only allow so many pets on each flight so don't wait.
3. Trusted Flight Nanny - (extra fee, not included in purchase price) We have two Bonded and Licensed Flight Nanny companies that we have used and trust. The contracted flight nanny (usually an airline employee flying stand-by on a day off) will arrange the flight from our local airport, Spokane International, to your local airport. They will let each of us know when the flight is and have contact with us during the flight to keep us up to date with their progress. We will drop the puppy off at the airport, have the flight nanny sign our release papers, and send all information and the go-home bag with them.
*You are responsible to pay the deposit at the time the flight nanny is contracted and the remainder of the fee, in cash, when the puppy is delivered to you at your local airport. We can help initiate the process if you need our help.
3a. I am willing to act as your flight nanny - I would love to meet you at your local airport! If you are willing to pay for:
4. Meet Half Way - (extra fee, not included in purchase price) We are willing to deliver your puppy to you if you want to meet us somewhere within driving distance. We charge a fee of $175 for our 2 hour round trip. If the distance is greater than one hour away from us you can add $60 per hour of our travel time (round trip). **Transportation times are scheduled after all other methods of puppy transportation are arranged so we can plan our own travel to be after all other puppies have gone to their new homes.
5. Limited Ground Transport - (extra fee, not included in purchase price) We will only use one person for ground transport. She is a breeder who is local to me who travels to and from AKC shows. She is willing to transport puppies with her show dogs as she travels. She has vast experience taking dogs cross country and into Canada. Her rates can be discussed at the time we contact her.
** This is the least desirable form of transport because a road trip is so much longer for a small puppy. If a puppy has to travel longer than one 24 hour period Shurbeez can/will refuse to send the puppy in this manner.
