Can anyone help me find transportation from Dallas, Texas, USA to our final destination? I can get my 10 dogs to Europe but then the airlines change to smaller jets and there is no way to our final destination.
Please reach out to me.
Thanks

Lacking information here:
WHERE in Europe are you trying to go?
As well, have you fully researched what's required for your dogs to legally enter the country you're taking them to?
Just have to ask: WHY are you traveling with 10 dogs?
Maybe but what the heck.
No one here would ever reveal their private email to a 1st-time poster or ANY poster we hadn't crossed paths with for years. If we care to respond outside of the forum, that's what secure RS messaging is for.
(Edited to add: this post was in regard to responses that have since been deleted.)
My post is NOT a scam. I am an attorney and I am retiring to Europe.
Google me if you do not believe me.
I need help! Please.
Presently, I am looking at houses in three or four locations. I’m going to Lake Bled, Slovenia May 20, 2025 and then I’m going to see all of the properties in person during the next 30 days.
Yes, I am working through the stringent requirements for the dogs to be admitted into Slovenia. The problem is getting the dogs from Venice to LAKE BLED.
My house in Texas has sold so there is no place to leave the dogs. I don’t want to anyway. I want us all to travel together the last week in May.
THANKS

Check out tripadvisor's "traveling with pets" forum. Also try posting in both Italy and Slovenia forums in TA and here. (I always leave the dog at home.)
"The problem is getting the dogs from Venice to LAKE BLED."
PS I google mapped the route. How about renting a van and driving the 10 dogs 3.5 hrs from Venice to Bled? Another alternative is private transfer with driver in a large van which is about €550.
Good luck.
I would think that renting a vehicle and driving to Venice would be an easier part of the journey. Seems like getting 10 dogs from Texas to Venice would be tricky. Many or all commercial airlines allow a passenger to take only a limited number of dogs on a flight. Something around two, though that probably varies by airline. Unless you're using a pet flight service; I know they exist but don't know anything else. Also, where will the 10 dogs stay while you find and finalize the purchase or lease of a house?

You might want to remove your email address
This is a public forum
You might have researched and figured this out well before now-leaving in 5 weeks?
If you Google "dog transport Europe" you will score loads of hits.
OP, I would recommend removing your email address for your security. I am in the middle of getting ready to fly my dog from Jordan to the US to Peru, and there are several facebook groups devoted to this issue. You'll get more- and better- responses searching up the "Flying with Dogs and Cats" facebook group. Also consider finding an expat facebook group for the city/ country you are moving to.
Agree with the suggestion to rent a vehicle in Venice. The drive to Lake Bled in about 290 kilometers or 3 hours. Getting the dogs to Venice does seem like a much bigger issue.
You should put this question on the Reddit subreddit r/slovenia . The subreddit is followed by experienced Slovenes that can help..
