40 Dogs and Puppies to NY!

Just completed the May 2008 trip to Bideawee in Manhattan and Angel Paws in Gloversville, NY. Both took more animals than they ever have before; Bideawee - 25, Angel Paws - 15. Thanks to both! For the first time, checked driving distance to/from Gloversville to see if trips to Bideawee and Angel Paws should continue to be linked. Surprised that there's only about a 50 mile premium for visiting Bideawee on the same trip (825 miles direct home from Angel Paws; 875 miles to Angel Paws via Bideawee). Gas/tolls - $384.17, Van Rental - $137.61; food & lodging are donated by the drivers. For 40 dogs delivered, that's just a few pennies over $13 per dog! And that's with the price of gasoline nearer to $4.00 than $3.50............
