Hello! My family splits our time between Alaska and Arizona. We both work from home, have acreage in both places & are perfectly set up to care for a dog. We spend approximately May-September in Alaska & then fly back to Arizona (Phoenix Sky harbor airport). We are fairly far into the process of purchasing a standard poodle puppy. Unfortunately the only thing preventing us from moving forward is the issue with travel. There are restrictions for both Phoenix and the Anchorage airports around temperature (below 45 and above 85) . I have been on the phone with Alaska airlines several times & can find no work around to getting the dog back and forth due to the temp embargo’s. Driving is not a consistent option (it takes about a week each way) & I can’t find transportation services that would go through Canada with the dog. I am desperately seeking advice from anyone with more knowledge or creative solutions on how to make getting a dog a reality for our family. We have so much to offer it in both places & so much love to give!
