Animalcouriers is finding that many pets are moving between England and the Republic of Ireland, so we’ve set up a regular route. Courier Richard made the most recent trip, taking a cat on the way out, and coming back with a dog.
We also received news of Maggie, a rescue dog who travelled with us from Greece four years ago.
Herman
We collected friendly tabby cat Herman in Leeds from Weronika. With a busy job as a radiographer, Weronika felt that Herman wasn’t getting the attention he deserved. So Herman is off to live with Andrzej, Weronika’s former housemate who’s now working in Dublin.

A lovely morning as we slip anchor and set off across the Irish Sea from Holyhead to Dublin
Herman was so excited at being reunited with Andrzej, he took a flying leap from his carrier!
Paddy
We then headed to County Galway to meet up with stunning Black Labrador Paddy. After 12 years living in County Galway, owners Graham and Claire are now returning to Ruislip in England.

Claire had gone on ahead to Ruislip, where she was waiting to welcome Paddy
Graham dropped us an email saying:
“Thanks to you and everyone involved in organising the trip. Paddy is safe and sound. Richard, your courier, is a kind and knowledgeable man and, even in that short time, my dog formed an attachment to him.”
News of Maggie
Gorgeous Maggie, who was found in very poor health after her owner died, travelled with us from Greece in May 2013. She was rescued by Eleni, then fostered for a couple of years, until Sara in the UK adopted her. Maggie quickly settled in and became firm friends with Sara’s Poodle Becky.
Sara recently got in touch to say:
“We are almost at the 4th anniversary of Maggie arriving in good old Milton Keynes. We want to thank you again for bringing her to us. Here are a couple of pictures to show how much she has changed and how comfortable she is.”
Maggie has clearly fallen on her paws with Sara

Looks like a fun trip. Really cute set of photos the dogs in the pillows.
It was fun, courier Richard had the sights to see. We adore the photos of Maggie & Becky — it’s so good to hear about past passengers, especially Greek rescues.
Your passenger list gets better looking every year!!
e would have to agree with you!
Marvelous stories!! Paddy and Spike could be the best of pals!!
Have a great weekend!!
Paddy would be very happy about that 😀
Great stories
Thanks.
Wonderful stories, and those dogs do look comfy. I like the kitty blur, so happy to be back with Andrezej. 🙂
Liquid cat!
I love stories like Maggies 🙂 I wish all stories for these earth angels could be so wonderful! Wishing you safe travels out there!
Yes, stories like Maggie’s warm the heart. Can never get enough of them!
wow Herman, that was a leap! well done! and a happy gotcha day (soon) to Maggie…. I love her fabulous fur!
Herman was very elegant in his leap. Don’t you suspect that Maggie is going to get very thoroughly spoiled on her gotcha day? 😀
Some happy faces! Love that photo of Maggie’s happy ending……
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
Isn’t that the sweetest photo!
Lovely travellers and fantastic happy tails!!!!
Great to see them home with their peeps!
such care for precious passengers 🙂
Not exactly hard work looking after these gorgeous pets!
Really liked the Maggie and Becky story. Herman reminds me of the ground squirrels I catch here using a have-a-heart trap. They are a real nuisance re our garden so I encourage them to live out in the woods. When I open the trap they vacate with the same speed as Herman. 🙂 –Curt
We think that Herman Squirrels are probably not the worst to have around 😉
Love the photo of Hermann the Blur leaping out of his carrier.
Where does he start and end?!
Maggie and Becky look very comfortable.
Deliciously happy together.
Such sweet pictures! I love them ALL!
I just figured out today that I wasn’t getting your blog email anymore. I got unsubscribed somewhere along the way. I’ve missed you guys!
We had a major wordpress meltdown earlier this year and lost a lot of followers 🙁 Delighted you’ve found us again — we missed you too!
