Generally, we do not ship puppies via ground carriers. We have attempted this and have not been happy with the results. Because of this, we would rather deliver the puppies ourselves. We prefer to flight nanny the puppies to the closes airport.​

Owners of shipped puppies are responsible for all shipping/transportation costs.

CCAB will only fly puppies who are escorted by us, the new owner, or those representing either party in writing. Regardless of escort, the puppy is considered the buyer’s property at the time he/she leaves our program.  Puppies will never be shipped cargo.

In shipping puppies, the airfare is the most expensive and varied component.  If CCAB is responsible for arranging travel, we will not book the flight until all shipping costs are paid in full.  CCAB will work with the buyer to determine the best options.

We are located approximately 20 minutes from Corpus Christi International Airport.  If required, departure or arrival times are before 6 am or after 8 pm, we reserve the right to add an additional surcharge.  Because there are additional steps required to clear the puppy for flight (from ticketing to security), we must arrive at the airport  2 – 3 hours before departure.

Generally, the costs are as follows:

• Air Fare

• Hotel cost, if applicable.

• Transfer fees – We asked the buyer to meet at the airport in an unsecured area; if we deliver the puppy to another location, fees for Uber, Lyft, etc. are part of the costs.

• All costs associated with flying the puppy.  Each airline charges a pet fee to fly the puppy in the cabin.  In addition, some airlines may request a  vet supplied “health certificate.”  $200 – $300

• $100 flat fee for supplies, parking, tolls etc.  The buyer is responsible for providing a small carrier at delivery.

• $250 per day (6 am – 8 pm)

Example for delivering a puppy with a 2 weeks advance ticket purchase.  1 day travel only, meeting at the airport.

  - Plane Ticket – $400
- Airline Puppy Fee – $150
- Supply Fee – $100
- Nanny Fee – $200
- Total Cost $850

Please allow 1 hour at the airport to make the transfer. We can also meet you at the airport.  We are doing more and more of this simply because the buyer can purchase their own ticket, many use reward miles, etc, and they become their own nanny.  We do charge the “Supply Fee” and any cost associated in getting any required “health certificate”.

We can deliver your puppy to your doorstep. Currently, the charge is a flat $2.50 per loaded mile, plus any necessary charges such as, but not limited to, overnight accommodation and require a health certificate.  We use Google Maps and will use the shortest available route unless circumstances necessitate a change.

All shipping charges will be paid in advance.
