Well, shoot. I go down a couple times a year for work. That would be a delightful slice of joy to otherwise dull trips.
You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: Itβs helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

You're a kind soul for helping these animals
Do it do it do it!
That is some good shit right there.
Halo is precious! What a cool thing to do π€
How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.
Or has all of that been worked out already and you're just the courier?
Edit: nevermind. My mind skipped past the explanation and went straight for the cute picture.
Volunteers are on both sides of the journey.
No quarantine. Just like flying with a pet from one US state to another. The rescue will pay for extra costs if there are any, but I didn't have any with my flight.
A volunteer from the receiving rescue met me at the airport when I landed and picked him up before our luggage even came out on the carousel.
We have an 11 year old rescue pup from Puerto Rico, he's a really good boy. They kind of have their own breed going on on the island. We DNA tested him and he's about 1/3 Chihuahua, 1/3 "super mut", and then like small portions of a dozen other breeds. He loves laying outside all day on the hottest days of the year.
I've got a hound-mix that came from Louisiana (I think). His mom was a bloodhound, his dad was a deadbeat who hit it and quit it.
He's shorthaired, tan, like 75lbs...and he loves to bask.
In the summer he's got two modes, bask or zoomies. That's it.
They kind of have their own breed going on on the island.
I believe they are called "sato" which basically means "mutt".
Aww. That's really cool!
Okay, that's really cool.
Very cool.
