Moving from Indiana to Arizona during the winter months?

[Nanny Goat]

I think the airlines won't take a pet in cargo during the winter months, only in a carry on, granted they're small enough for that. I checked on this a while ago. I think it's from Nov.-March, not exactly sure with the dates.
The rentals open up a lot in May in Arizona cuz the snowbirds start heading home--more vacancies then.

All kinds of places in Maricopa County that do not have the crime and big city BS.

Well #1 i would ask this question in the Indiana forum. better responses there.
#2 Santa Clause is a nice little town with a huge emphasis on the holiday's. Also there is a gated community there i believe.
and Finally #3 your welcome to Indiana with open arms Hoosiers are very open minded and welcome good civilized people to our state.
Indiana is the shining star of the midwest and i think youll love it here lots of people have relocated to Indiana/Indianapolis and seem to enjoy it here very well.

Yes they fly dogs/cats during the winter months, though I'm not sure what the the temp has to be in the cargo area to ship live animals, again check with the carrier. The dangerous part of shipping a live animal is in the summer months. If the Tarmac get's above 78 degrees, I believe that's the temp, they won't ship them. It's best to call the airline that you'll be flying on. Every carrier has their own set of rules. A health certificate from your vet is a necessity. Have all shots up to date.

I've flown with my dogs a lot. The first thing I always do is find out if I'll be having connections. I'd prefer direct flights. My dogs have flown from HI to Southern CA. Alabama to CA and back to Alabama, and again Alabama and back to AZ. They were all fine. Knock on wood, never had a problem and the crew of the plane always informed me that my dogs were loaded and on the plane. We only flew American. My agility trainer just bought a new puppy from Connecticut, 8 weeks old, the breeder shipped the pup on Delta, by herself, with a connection to AZ. The puppy arrived fine, none worse for the wear.
