Help? ISO Transportation!! Long story

So I finished paying a woman who was selling a litter of puppies, bought everything for him to get settled in and whatnot just to find out that she wanted more money when I paid her everything that was necessary: price of puppy, deposit, delivery, crate, food. I sadly decided after a week of talking to my sister about it to not get the dog. However, I told her she can keep all of that money ($1,000+) so that she can use it to take care of him and the other pups.

I recently caught up with a friend over the phone and turns out she's also looking to sell the rest of her puppies. One of them caught my eye, especially after finding out the previous owners returned the little fella because they didn't think they could give him the attention he needs. I offered to get the dog, she lives in Alabama and I live in Rhode Island. I would drive to pick him up, but I have work.

ISO of someone who can pick up this little fella and drive him, I'll pay for gas and whatever else. If you know any great transportation services that are affordable please comment below!!! My friend doesn't feel comfortable flying him seeing as he's a bit shy, but would love to have him transported in a vehicle.

I'll be replying back to all comments
