Check with your vet first to see if your dog is healthy enough to fly, also check with the airline on what the restrictions are for flying your dog.

Your dog can go in the cargo area of the plane as extra luggage, but with it being bloody hot in Phoenix right now, I doubt any airliner is going to fly your dog.

You can also look into doing transports where your dog is driven by generous people to your new destination while you fly.

A lot of breed specific rescue groups do this to cut down on shipping costs for rescued and abandoned animals and the transports are often done by volunteers.

Since this isn't a rescue operation, you may have to pay a small fee to have a transport done, which is cheaper than flying your dog, and probably a lot safer too since most vehicles are temperature controlled.

OR another option is, if us ADers can set up a transport to have his dog driven cross country while he flies.

Can you tell me from Phoenix where are you moving to?
