Escort · Global
You are flying. An adopted dog is waiting for this flight.
Good to know
An already-adopted dog often waits weeks, sometimes months, for want of someone to accompany it on a flight. It is the bottleneck of international rescue.
The principle
- 1You are already travelling on a given route.
- 2The organization books the dog on your flight.
- 3It prepares the documents and hands the dog over at the departure airport.
- 4Someone picks it up on arrival — you don't keep the dog.
What it asks of you
What it actually asks of you: arriving earlier at the airport, signing documents, and about an hour more on arrival. Nothing else.
You pay nothing. The association covers all costs related to the dog. You only lend your seat as a traveller.
Check before accepting
- The organization provides all health documents in advance.
- Someone is confirmed at arrival to pick up the dog.
- The airline has confirmed the animal booking.
Always check three points before accepting: that the organization provides all health documents in advance, that someone is confirmed at arrival, and that the airline has validated the booking. A well-organized escort is prepared weeks in advance, never the day before.
If you travel regularly between your country and one of the countries in this list, let the local organizations know. They keep lists of available travellers.

Flight escorting can also exist without a dedicated page
Many shelters organize escorts without publishing it. If you are returning from one of these countries, contact organizations directly through the Emergency card.
