The Journey Home

So, you have adopted your puppy. Now what? The next steps in bringing home your newest family member is one of the most exciting steps in the adoption process and we are here to help! Below you will find four options for arranging the journey home with your new puppy. 

Travel Options:
1. By Air
2. By Car
3. Visit Us!
4. You Arrange


​

By Air


Boxers are considered a "snub-nosed" breed. Because they are classified as such, they must fly accompanied by a companion. Most airlines are accepting of air travel as long as the puppy meets the requirements of the airline and pay the fees for this service. Heritage Boxers will work with you in arranging a flight schedule that fits into your needs and act as a personal flight nanny for this journey. A 3rd party transporter/flight nanny will not be used. Typical expenses include, the round trip cost of a plane ticket, any "carry on pet" fees, and a set a delivery charge. Average cost of this is $1,500.  This is a fantastic option if you live a distance from us and air travel is the easiest for your schedule.

By Car


Being located just outside of Springfield, Missouri, we are blessed to be within a days drive of several larger cites. Below, you will find a list of the cities we regularly travel to, along with our cost to deliver. If multiple puppies are being delivered to the same city on the same day, adoptive families will share the cost of the expense. We will coordinate schedules ahead of time with our adoptive families to make these arrangements as smooth as possible. Travel will be conducted by Heritage Boxers not a 3rd party transporter. 

St. Louis, Missouri - $395
Tulsa, Oklahoma - $395
Kansas City, Missouri - $395
Fayetteville, Arkansas - $375
Little Rock, Arkansas - $475
Nashville, Tennessee - $800

Visit Us!

Obviously, this is our favorite. We welcome you to come and visit us! At Heritage Boxers, we have done and continue to do our best to create an environment folks can visit, see for themselves and feel welcomed doing so. We would love to help you with your stay as well. Springfield is about 3 hours from Kansas City and St. Louis. In some cases, adoptive families have flown into a local airport, then rented a car to drive back home. SGF Airport is under 30min from our home. Branson is also a wonderful vacation destination, and is an hour away. So feel free to take a road trip! 

You Arrange


If you would like to handle the travel or pickup of your puppy, feel free to do so. We would strongly encourage you to make sure you do your homework before hiring a transportation service. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to reach out.
