How do I ship a guinea pig from Grand Island, NE to Niagara Falls, NY?

[Bob]

My car broke down and I am stranded in Grand Island, NE. I am stuck in a hotel with my adorable little guinea pig, who does not have any health certification to allow her to fly as air cargo, and the flight I have already has an animal(s) on it, so she can not ride in the cabin with me. Due to the inclement weather in the midwest and northeast, I do not want her to freeze to death while travelling. Does anyone have any suggestions as to feasible methods of getting her back home to Niagara Falls? Anyone with experience shipping animals (maybe a pet store employee) or with any suggestions, I would really appreciate them... She's my baby, and I want her to get home as quickly and safely as possible.

take her to a vet and get a health certification for her.

Honestly I really don't know anything about shipping guinea pigs, however I know that if you just stick her in a box and mail her she will likely freeze to death. Or suffocate. Whenever other mammals (like sugar gliders, for example) are shipped from a breeder to their new home then they are sent on an airplane because it's just not safe to do it any other way. So I would do whatever you can to get her on the airplane with you.

Or else try to re-home her where you're at and just give her to someone who can take care of her and give her a new home.

Delta Air Cargo. Check with them. I get birds all the time shipped in from Delta Air Cargo. They have a good program.
