Will international travel re-traumatize my anxious rescue dog?

Question

Hello, I have rescued a dog in the Caribbean it was on a meter length chain for 6 years. Beaten and often starving. She never leaves my side now and is free to roam around. But cowers at the least noise or other people. I want to return to England with her but afraid that the crate for transportation and then in kennels for about a month would bring back trauma. Should I leave her here or take the chance she will not be effected by the journey. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 50 lbs

Hi, I think if you find someone that looks after her well and loves perhaps it would be less traumatic for her to stay in the Caribbean. I am pro travelling with pets but I think Lucy suffered a lot and it’s a long journey and stay in kennel. Good luck with whatever you choose.
