Pilots N Paws animal rescue charity flights
Written on December 7th, 2024 by Alex Lowe
One of the most fulfilling activities I get to do are cross country charity flights to help save animals through Pilots N Paws. PIlots N Paws is a non-profit organization that connects pilots with airplanes to shelters and organizations that are trying to save animals.
“Pilots N Paws is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, intended to be a meeting place for volunteers engaged in the valuable services of rescuing, sheltering and adopting animals, and volunteer pilots and plane owners willing to assist with animal transportation. The intent of Pilots N Paws is to provide an environment in which volunteers can come together and arrange or schedule rescue flights, overnight foster care or shelter, and all other related activities.”
Many of the dogs and cats that I’ve flown have specialized medical needs, have been abused or neglected and need to find special homes or sanctuaries, or otherwise have a hard time finding what they need locally. My longest trip between South Carolina and Wisconsin with two cats, traveling over 1,100 miles in a day. And on one trip my son and I went between Wisconsin and Ohio to save a sweet puppy that was very scared and nervous but was very comforted by my son.
This is a great organization and both the pilots and rescue organizations are some of the best people. If you’re able, please make a donation!
