My name is Wilbur!

Our family will be moving cross-country to California next summer for a one-year work-related obligation. We have been brainstorming ways to transport our 9-yr old Pit Mix, Wilbur, with our vet. We’ve cared for Wilbur since we rescued him from the Wake County SPCA in August of 2018. Since then, he has been a beloved member of our household. We do not know what his background is, except that he has a BB pellet scarred into his ear and foreign bodies in his skin that led us to believe he was not in a loving home. We have two toddler boys, ages 1 and 3, and Wilbur is like a brother to them. Unfortunately, he has severe anxiety when traveling, and we are afraid he will not survive the trip either flying or driving cross-country even with anti-anxiety medications on board. His vet is in agreement and recommends keeping him in state.
