I sure hope you take your pet with you if do decide to move, a pet is just like having a child, if you move you are not just gonna leave the child behind would you? No, you would take the child with you. When booking a flight on which you wish to bring your pet, call the airline directly to make the reservation and confirm that there is a space available for your pet on the flight and then call 2 days before the flight to confirm you will be flying with a pet.. just be aware that pets fly in the Cargo area.
Advance arrangements with an airline does not guarantees that your pet will travel on a specific flight. Airlines reserve the right to refuse transport of an animal for reasons like illness, an improper carrier, or extreme temperatures. If the temperatures is (or is forecasted to be) either below 45F or above 85F (75F for snub-nosed dogs), you will need a letter signed by your veterinarian stating that your pet is acclimated to extreme weather. If the temperature is below 20F or above 95F, your pet will likely not be allowed to travel in the cargo area. Airlines can also refuse carriage of an animal that demonstrates aggressive or violent behavior.
According to American Airlines:
