Pilots4Paws - Animal Rescue Flights

Hello, and welcome to Pilots4Paws. Working with established partners in Northern, we aim to facilitate the transport of rescue animals in remote areas. The lack of reliable veterinary services in our Northern communities, primarily the lack of spay/neuters, has led to an overwhelming number of puppies being born. We fly animals that have been surrendered for rehoming, or for emergency medical care unavailable in their areas.

Our mission is simple; we aim to facilitate the transportation of these dogs and puppies. By land, this trip is upwards of 12 hours, requiring multiple volunteer drivers. By air, we can get a load of dogs from Timmins to Toronto in under 3 hours, easing the stress on the animals and allowing for a greater frequency of trips.

Our introduction to volunteer flying was with a beautiful pup named Jessi. Jessi had sustained severe injuries and needed emergency veterinary care. She was hit by a car and found left for dead on the side of the road in Moosonee. At the time, the odds of her survival were low. She was commercially flown from Moosonee to Timmins and desperately needed a way to get to a vet specialist in Toronto. We were called to help. Based out of London, we woke up to an early morning departure and, within two hours, made it to Timmins. By early afternoon, Jessi was safely in Toronto receiving care. Likely, she would not have survived the trip by land. Now, after many months of rehab, Jessi has made a dramatic recovery and is in a loving home in the GTA.

Any amount of donation is accepted and appreciated to help out these pups. Your support will allow us to expand our rescue network and fly more animals. Thank you all.
