Pilots n Paws is an organization that was founded by two pilots who were passionate about rescuing shelter animals in need.

Pilots and plane owners volunteer their time, planes, and gas to transport animals from point A to point B.

Shelters/Rescues/Fosters who want to save animals that would otherwise be euthanized and that not do well on a ground transport, and/or would otherwise have to travel long distances, will post a transport request on the website.

Pilots who are available or near the locations in need will respond.

These VERY generous pilots are our personal heroes.

They go that extra mile and some have even traveled in between thunderstorms, and on holidays risking their lives in order to save even ONE dog from being euthanized.

Some of them have even over-nighted dogs that were stuck en route to us. It has been and will continue to be our pleasure to work with them all.

Through Pilots n Paws, Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) has rescued hundreds of animals.

Thank you pilots! Words cannot express the gratitude WE feel for ALL the pilots making this possible. We couldn’t do it without you.
