Hi, I’m Fernando, and I’m moving from Zurich to Miami for work. I need your help to bring Summer, my 5-year-old Cocker Spaniel, safely with me.

Summer weighs 16kg, which is unfortunately too large to travel in the cabin, most airlines have a 10kg limit. She was born in Colombia and has traveled with us to over 10 countries... she’s not just a pet, she’s family.

We brought her to Switzerland as an emotional support dog, but sadly, airlines NO LONGER allow emotional support animals to fly in-cabin. We've checked with numerous carriers... and I refuse to put her in cargo.

That’s why I chose Bark Air, a pet-first airline where she can fly safely in the cabin. The total cost is $9,500 for the flight (Paris to New York), plus a car rental and an 18-hour drive to get to Miami after landing.

I’m paying USD $4,500 myself, and I’m asking for support to raise the remaining $5,000 USD / CHF 4K.

TO GIVE BACK, half of the funds (50%) will go to a dog shelter in Colombia I’ve supported for years. Asociación de Protección Animal MI MEJOR AMIGO https://www.instagram.com/proteccionanimalmimejoramigo/?hl=en and then I will see how I complete the remaining balance.

Thank you for helping keep Summer safe.... and out of cargo. ❤️

Fernando
