The non-profit group includes more than 2,500 pilots and nearly 12,000 animal rescuers throughout the U.S. Pilots N Paws unites organizations that rescue, shelter or foster animals with pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of animals. To date, thousands of animals have been saved and or relocated thanks to the group. PILOTS N PAWS BORN IN 2008. Wehrenberg started telling his pilot buddies about the need for pilots in animal rescue and Pilots N Paws was born in 2008.

We do these missions...A LOT! Instead of writing down contacts, etc, it is better to use the resource Pilots N Paws. The transport requests will be posted there instead of on here because you will often be flying in conjunction with certified aircraft or (gasp) non-Vans experimental aircraft. Also, when you use PNP, you can download their form (since they are a 501c3) and write it off on your taxes. So not only do you get to fly and save a life, you get about one eleventh back for fuel. In some cases, with the new FAA ruling, if it is offered, you can accept reimbursement for fuel from a 501c. Please read the dialog on the PNP website.
It is very easy to get excited and help out, but please, please, please use the resources, it helps the rescue groups a lot more. I mean hey, I could write down and make drawings of airports, but it is easier to buy or download the sectional....lol. That being said, if you are in southern California, I fly rescue flights normally twice a month and we are combining the resources of two large rescues in Ramona within the next few months. There are two other groups I have dealt with...Lucky Dog Rescue Flights and Animal Rescue Flights (ARF) that transport down that way as well. Good luck, thanks for your efforts, and keep saving lives!
