The time chosen is roughly Sept. 12 to Sept. 20. THEY NEED RESCUES TO CONTACT THEM!!!!!! From all across the country!!! ASAP!!!
This is a dream for rescues! Let's help PILOTS n PAWS and get our animals to their new homes.
They ask that we choose trips of approximately 200 - 400 miles as that's about a one day trip for most pilots.
If you are a rescue and willing to participate, Please go to their blog and comment.
TO DATE, THEY HAVE HAD FEW RESPONSES FROM RESCUE GROUPS.
Air transport by volunteer pilots is so important. I think rescues would love this!!! The word is simply not getting to them. please pass this information on to rescue groups. CROSS POST like mad. We can't lose these pilots. They also need people to join as volunteer fosters.
They have a great interactive map showing volunteers and where pilots are located. Please help with this. Can you imagine 5,000 animals in the air in one week going to rescue or forever homes?!!!
Obviously, people can't hold dogs, but if enough can be located within a given distance of these airports, then whoever has an animal that needs to get somewhere that week, can participate.

I will definitely crosspost to my local groups. Pilots'n'Paws flew B and her littermates most of the way to me - they were a godsend and made the rescue of those three puppies, who are not all in their forever homes, feasible. We are definitely grateful to them!
You are amazing. I am so glad there are people like you. I wish I had the capability to provide for the care of rescue animals. I do what little I can by donating to our shelters. The world needs more of you!!!
BTW I hope you are feeling better. Have you gotten off your medicine yet?
DG, thanks, I knew you would help get the word out. Pilots n Paws is a wonderful group and have been a godsend to many.
Rae,
Thanks for the kind words. :)
I am still on one antibiotic, with terrible side effects. I do have another Doctors appt. this Friday, and more next week, so just taking one day at a time, thank you for asking.
Our group here in Rochester is called Paws and Claws. They do wonderful work in our community as well.
I sent your blog and the Pilot blog to our local groups over here. Thanks for letting me know!

I hadn't hear of Pilots N Paws before but think this is a wonderful way to help rescues find their furever homes! Thanks for sharing this information!
Great post...I love knowing there are people like you out there doing everything they can for animal welfare. Hope you are feeling better soon!
Thanks so much for this; I had no idea. I'll let my fellow rescue friends know about this service.
Thanks for stopping by yesterday. Those goats were so cute and I was sooooo tempted by them to get one but I have enough critters to take care of already.
What a great idea! You always do the best promotion. I'll email info to a few rescues in the area.
That's worth a belly scratch right?
