Animalcouriers set off from the UK with pets belonging to five families on board. We’ll deliver them to their owners in France, Italy and Malta, before heading to Greece to collect our UK-bound passengers.
Max, Jake, Loopy, Maisie and Poppy
This troupe of four assorted Labs and a German Pointer belong to Karen and Phil, who are relocating from County Durham to France for a new lifestyle. The dogs are travelling slightly ahead of their owners, so will have a short stay at Les Hirondelles kennels and cattery at Lauzun.
Phil and Karen with the three girls
There was a certain amount of controlled chaos as the dogs got ready to leave!
Handsome yellow Lab Max
German Pointer Jake and his rather splendid eyebrows
A closer look at those eyebrows!
Chocolate Lab Maisie with flying ears!
Gorgeous Black Lab Poppy
Equally gorgeous Loopy
It was a snowy drive down from the north of England
Bilbo
Ian and family have relocated from Hampshire to sunny Provence, and Bilbo is joining them. They’ve had to wait a little while to be reunited, so the welcome banners will certainly be out when Bilbo arrives!
Stunning tabby Bilbo
Missy
Boxer dog Missy from Leeds is on her way to Tuscany. Owner Mirella and her partner Matthew are returning to Italy after working in the UK for the past few years.
Gorgeous Missy is quite a senior hound but full of fun and life. We suspect she’s looking forward to the warmer climate at her new Italian home.
Star
Affectionate puss Star is also on her way to the Tuscany area. Owner Amanda and her family split their time between the UK and Italy. We’re transporting Star to join them in Grossetto.
Lovely Star has the most beguiling eyes
Cara, Lola, Liz, Sasha, Fifi and Priha
This much loved family of four dogs and two cats travelled with us last year, when the family relocated from Somerset to Marbella in Spain. However, things didn’t quite work out as they’d hoped, so they retuned to Somerset. Now they’re off to Malta for a new life in the sun.

Now that’s a “full house” van for sure with all those travelers! Should be quite a trip……..
Pam and Sam
Yes, it’s a busy trip but so far so good!
Jake your eyebrows are super great! Have a super time in France, I hope the Provence welsomes you with sun and a lot of signs of spring :o)
Aren’t Jake’s eyebrows wonderful! We suspect Provence will suit him very well.
Such gorgeous little darlings and I am sure everyone will have lots of fun in France. The snow view is absolutely amazing and so the shots of all these gorgeous travellers. Thanks for sharing AC. ♥
The snow was just the right amount to be beautiful and not hamper the journey. It was a busy outward trip this time!
Love their expressions – like they know what is going on. Been there;done that before.
Yes, some of them are experienced travellers and know exactly what the trip involves.
Beautiful passengers, all of them! I love Jake’s eyebrows. Bilbo the cat has a great name! His people must be J.R.R. Tolkien fans?
The snow is beautiful, although I am glad to have spring well underway here where I am.
They are a gorgeous lot. Suspect Tolkien was indeed behind the moniker. Glad you’re in full Spring mode – we’re beginning to see signs along the way too.
A handsome cargo.
Handsome indeed and numerous.
They are all so sweet. Loved the one with the roommates 😀 We had to laugh about the (un)controlled chaos, we could see it immediately 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Day…and let the Spring begin 😉 <3
Such charming roommates too! Ha ha – the (un)controlled chaos was fun to watch 😀 Here’s to Spring indeed!
Gorgeous group. Bilbo reminds me a bit of Marty. Stay warm travel on!
You’re right – they both have gorgeous markings!
