Tales from the Greek islands

The dogs who travelled with us from Lesvos and Lemnos by air have now arrived at their forever homes. Here are a few of their stories. Cinnamon Cinnamon's story is one of the most amazing we've come across. A stray on Lesvos, she became attached to Sam, a member of the Royal Navy whose patrol boat was looking out for immigrants in the Aegean Sea. During the several months that Sam and the rest of the crew were stationed on Lesvos, he and Cinnamon became good friends. So much so that Cinnamon would wait patiently at the port for Sam [...]

10 dogs travel from Greece to the UK via Paris

Once couriers J and M had delivered little Cookie to her owners, they headed to Athens airport for courier J to board a flight to the Greek island of Lesvos.

Here at Animalcouriers we have two trips on the go: this one carrying passengers to France and Italy, and the other one dedicated to pets from Greece (we'll update you on that trip shortly).

BoBo to Hong Kong, Jack to the Netherlands, Giorgio to Rome, and news from the UK

A number of our couriers have been on the road recently — travelling around England, Scotland and Wales; hopping across the Channel; and going as far as the Netherlands and Italy. BoBo BoBo was found abandoned in a public car park in Leicester six months ago, and had the good fortune to be taken in and nurtured by her caring new owner. He's due to return to Hong Kong when his work at Leicester University comes to and end, and BoBo has flown on ahead. Man and cat been together every day since BoBo was rescued, so it will a [...]
