Riekie, I apologize again for giving you such a hard time initially about prices etc. The whole experience was new to us, but I'm glad, in the end, that we decided to send Zoe to Canada and keep her with us. Thanks again and all the best, Katherine
Dear Riekie
Dear Dominyc,
Hi Rieke, Sorry for taking 3 days to write to you...its been a busy time.
O’ Brian arrived safe and well… see photos
Hi Nick
Riekie, Hi Estelle Here are a few pictures of the cormorants in our quarantine.
Dear Estelle These were taken exactly a week after my girls arrived, although by the Wednesday (after arriving late on the Saturday) they were already purring etc. I will give you an update after I arrive in Auckland. Thank you all for everything and a special thank you to Nick. I know I was a big baby so I'm sorry he had to put up with my snot en trane, but also to thank him for his compassion. Kind regards
Shirley-Ann Hi there From Cancrimoa Kennels in Poland, Tina, here is the girl Dandy's Zoya Cancrimo z Lednickiego Zakola who arrived after an extremely eventful trip on Wednesday night. Isn't she absolutely GORGEOUS???. credit to Johann Theron of Animal Talk magazine. To those of you who have not been watching her progress on Facebook, allow me to introduce you to the newest family member of Charmanté Newfoundlands. This 10 week old beauty has just this minute arrived in our home all the way from Cancimo Newfoundlands in Poland. She is Dandy's Zoya - pet name Zoya - sired by the magnificent Multi Champion Dandy's Alister in Poland and already Cosack has fallen in love with her! Oneday we hope to have a beautiful litter of puppies out of these two, but meanwhile, she is gorgeous, very much a live wire who seems to accept everything easily - she is going to be a huge asset to Newfoundlands in this country and to browns in particular. I have to thank some people though Maja for this lovely lovely girl I know there are many more, but without the ready assistance of these people, I am not sure whether Zoya would have been here tonight! More news to follow - but first now to see to our little Princess! Janeen and all at Charmanté Newfoundlands, Cape Town.
Dear Dominyc Just to let you know that my babies arrived safely, all be it a little shell-shocked, but fine. They are in their new home, and are being introduced to their new surroundings gradually. Thanks once again for ALL your patience and encouragement and advice with regards to them coming to Dubai. I will definitely recommend you to friends. All the best Fond regards
Dear Riekie, Just a little note to let you know Angus is doing fine here with us in Belgium. Although he does need to get used to all the new sounds coming out of bushes, he's taking to it like a pro! Picking him up from Schiphol airport was easy and he seemed absolutely fine after the flight. Thank you very much for your good care. Regards,
Good morning Ladies, Best regards.
Dear Estelle I would just like to say a HUGE Thank You to you for all your assistance in getting my puppy safely into South Africa. You were GREAT! I really appreciate it and could NEVER have done it without your help. You were true to your word and everything went as you said. And thanks also to Nick who came with you on Wednesday night. You were both GREAT! Kind Regards I just wanted to say that, even though I only got to deal with you for the last day of waiting for our new puppy I was so impressed with your work. I can see that you are a sincere animal lover. That came across quite strongly and I really appreciated that. I will always recommend you specifically from your company to people! Our puppy has a very happy home; she is settling in beautifully and the best of all is that she knows so well that when the lights switch off it is sleep time for her!!! All the best,
Hi Estelle and Vaughn I want to commend you both on your exceptionally professional, caring and patient service. I was a very nervous client and worried from the start about my animals having to travel without me. Just as I thought we had everything in order, we hit a hitch just days before schedule to travel. Vaughn, your calm and professional manner over the phone late that evening made the whole situation more bearable. From my very first encounter with Animal Travel Services, I only encountered the kindest helpful people who I know would care my pets as if they were their own. Thank you! You have offered proudly South African service. Well done! Delia
Dear Estelle, Thank you for your email. Please find below proof of the balance payment transferred a few minutes ago. Thank you again for your wonderful service, kind assistance and patience with me over the past few weeks while planning my dogs relocation. I cannot thank you enough for all your help and advice, my husband dogs and I are incredibly thankful. Good luck with all your future clients, I'm sure they will be as overjoyed with the results as we are.

Just a quick note to say that Murphy arrived safe and happy in Kasane with us. He has settled down well and he and our one year old son played for hours yesterday afternoon.... I think they will be inseperable in the future. Thank you for sorting out all the logistics of getting him here to us, it made things so easy for us. Take care. Kind regards
Ros Hoy, Kasane, Botswana OCTOBER 2010 Just to again thank you for the excellent service provided to me to get our cat Piekat to Brasilia! We were so pleased to see her. She is adjusting well here and will hopefully not decide one day “she wants to walk back to South Africa”! We shall contact you again when we move back to South Africa, hopefully in 4 years time.
All the best to you, Laura Joyce
A lot of happy faces and one very happy tail on Thursday evening in Budapest. Mr. Bingley is back with his family and we are all feeling great.
Dear Christelle I just wanted to thank you and your team for the pleasant and professional way in which you managed the transport of Oscar our parakeet from Cape Town to Jhb. It was a pleasure dealing with you and knowing that our pet was in good hands the whole way, it really gave me peace of mind. Thanks again. JWakeling 11 August 2010 Hi Christelle,
Would like to take this opportunity to thank you for getting the Grass Carp to us. They all arrived safely and were placed in their new surroundings late yesterday afternoon. Hopefully, they will grow big and strong!!!!!
Have a wonderful day. Lyn 18 August 2010 I am busy importing my first dog ever. The situation was very confusing / frustrating as I was sending backwards and forwards UNTILL somebody referred me to Christelle. I am a Small Business Services Manager at Nedbank and never in my life have I experienced such incredible service. She is AWESOME and without her help I wouldn''t have been able to manage. She went the extra mile and I believe did MORE than what was expected of her. I would really like to nominate her for GREAT SERVICE as she is a BIG ASSET to your company. Kind Regards Ansa

March
2010 By
Riekie Fourie International
Pet Travel consultant My
first German Shepherd Dog made me fall in love with the sport known
as Schutzhund (German for Protection dog) and I always believed
that one day I’ll go to the world championships to represent
South Africa
I
transported hundreds and thousands of pets all over the world and
now I had to arrange for my own dog, my best friend to travel with
me to Frankfurt. Obviously like all the other four legged passengers
I transported, I arranged the shortest, best trip for him. We were
very fortunate to receive sponsorship from South African Airways
for the return trip for the SA K-9’s in the Shutzhund team!
Upon
boarding in Johannesburg I could see him being loaded into the aircraft.
It was great to be able to see how careful he was handled whilst
being loaded into the hold. Shortly after liftoff I realized how
lucky he was, compared to me!!! He
had ample leg space; I didn’t, he
had his favourite pillow, I didn’t, he
could stand up and turn around whenever he wanted to and I couldn’t! When
we arrived in Frankfurt, with a stiff neck, numb bum and swollen
ankles we collected the car and went straight to the agent who we
employed to clear him. By the time we got to the agent, Gambol was
already in the animal lounge getting a nice walk, water and breakfast.
The custom clearance took about two hours, but this was of no concern
to me as he was out of his box and in a quiet kennel at the animal
lounge.

On
behalf of Oscar, his World Woof Tour and the thousands of pound
hounds that he was able to visit as part of his World Woof Tour,
Thank YOU so much for helping us to circle the planet to perfection! We
visited 31 countries, visited over 65 organization on 5 continents
and in so doing traveled approximately 79038km
(twice around the circumference of the earth!) Best of all, and
as a direct result of your unbelievable assistance, we didn't
have ONE yelp (problem) with Oscar getting into or out
of ANY of the visited countries along the way. We owe all
this to Animal Travel Services! You
and your team, Christelle, deserve an Oscar for all your incredible, professional,
experienced work. A very big, fat, golden, diamond infested Oscar! From
the bottom of our paws, thank you all so very much. Joanne
Lefson & Oscar
