This is urgent.

My Australian Shepard name Goku (four years old) is stranded in Italy. Two weeks ago my family and I had to leave Italy in an urgent matter for Mexico. I applied for a "permesso di seggiorno" too late, and I was within my ninety days visitors VISA. We were planning to stay long term and look for a home. Which is why I braught my whole family, which includes Goku, to Italy. My wife and I wanted our sons (Liano 3 and Lorenzo 1) to meet their 98 year old great grand father, and visit him after the death of my grandmother. It was our last chance to visit him from across the world with our children. My plane ticket for my family and I to Mexico was $5,000 ($3558.93 USD). With Goku, because he needed specific airlines to travel, would have cost me $11,000 ($7829.66). Which is money I do not have. A sum that forced me to withdraw my savings and pay for the tickets reluctantly.

 It been two weeks my family and I have been away from Goku. My son Liano cries everyday because he wants Goku back, and frankly I havent slept well since he's gone. We miss him dearly.

There is a time restraint. Goku is being held in Italy for another two weeks, and then the person will send him to the dog pound (which we dont want). Goku is very anxious, and he thinks I abandoned him. The person watching him is telling me he barks and howls non stop. He now has lost his voice. We need to get him back and show him we're still his family.

We have a professional transporter, named Suzanne Kronisch willing to help me bring him back home. She is ready to go get him and is merely asking for travel expenses, fees for Goku in cargo, and for the trip from Rome to Mexico City. I will be then renting a small SUV to drive from Huatulco to Mexico City to pick up Goku and bring back to my children, wife, and I.
