Rescue Road trips <http://www.rescueroadtrips.com/Rescue_Road_Trips.html> transports from Louisiana to New England via TN. As far as I can tell from their map, their nearest stop to NC is Kingsport, TN, about 300 miles/5hrs to Raleigh, NC. They are a reputable transporter, and maybe a drop off closer to Raleigh can be arranged. Or volunteer ground transport could do the last 300 miles in three legs, or Pilot N Paws could fly him from TN to NC, their general aviation air crafts have a range of about 300 miles.
However, as we all see, he is in no shape to meet the medical requirements of a transporter now, he'd need to be vetted and recover sufficiently in foster care first. There is a very competent rescue organization, PAWS of North East LA, that supports the shelter animals and works closely with the shelter.
The rescue coordinator of PAWS NE LA answers the emails sent to the shelter and posts the animals on PF. She is excellent, has a GSD herself, and currently fosters one. She is very helpful and competent. Email addresses are
rescue @ pawsnela. org or parishpets @ yahoo. com (added spaces to both addresses).
They do a temperament test, and can drive a dog to a vet for HW test etc. He looks young to me (to the extent one can see).
His eyes are haunting.
Thank you so much, Alisa.
