Flights For Hope

08/18/2024

Can everyone just take a second and share this?

We need to reach all Canadians. We need a big wake up call, PLEASE Canada. 🇨🇦

We have to do better. 💔🐾🐾

Update: 10 pups.

Well it is official. Mamacita isn't going anywhere tomorrow. 😔

If anyone can offer a short term foster home for Mamacita and her newborn puppies, in the Winnipeg area please comment or pm me.

She was only supposed to make a pit stop for a couple of nights before she flew to Ontario. Now things have changed, having some extra help there for her would be great.

No matter what, we got you Mamacita.

Carmelina will be taking the open crate spot on her flight.

We did get both dog's flights covered, and hope to figure out a plan for Mamacita in the future.

Night sweet mama.

1 more to go!
(Hopefully lol)

Little Evie was saved from a remote community in Northern MB.

We are looking for someone to cover her flight from Winnipeg to Toronto, into the care of our friends at Lost Boys Hope.

You can sponsor her flight for $105, and funds can be sent to [email protected] with the password 'flight'.

It has been BUSY and we are really hoping things can work out for all of these beautiful dogs....who deserve a chance.

Thanks, as always for your continued support.

Temp foster found until Sept 12th so a plan can be made!
Thank you Crystal Smith 💕🐾🐾.

She gave birth to 10 pups. Desperately needs a foster home in Winnipeg. Even just for a bit.

Ugh 😭

It seems as though Mamacita may be going into labor....and she is supposed to fly tomorrow.

We need to see if we can come up with a back up plan. Pups that are 5-6 weeks are only allowed to fly. No newborns.

We are seeking out options to bring her to ON by ground.

Someone that could make her comfortable (suv or van) for this trip, ideally with handling experience.

Starting point would be Winnipeg, ending point St Mary's.

Please tag, comment, or pm me.

Thanks in advance.

If only you could hold on mama 🤞

FLIGHT SPONSORS NEEDED.

It has been busy, busy, busy around here!

We have these 3 little boys named Hector, Chip, and Carson who need a little help getting to rescue.

We are looking for flight sponsors to help get them from MB to Ottawa, ON into he care of our friends at It Takes A Village Dog Rescue .

Thanks to prior donations, we only need $30 ($90 total) each dog to sponsor them.

Please comment below if you would like to help, and you may also include which little soul you would like so sponsor.

Funds can be sent to [email protected] with the password 'flight'.

The boys will be flying tomorrow, let's get them covered. 💙💙💙

Thank you in advance.

REAL.

Especially right now.
Please, for the love of God.....no, please for the LIFE of your dog do what you can to make it work.

No, I'm not shaming people who literally have no choice...I'm shaming those that don't try. That don't make an effort. That don't look at every possible option to keep their dogs WITH them....their FAMILY.

I'm so sick of a the daily posts that come through my feed...'it pains me to do this ' or 'through no fault of their own we have to rehome our furbaby'. Enough is enough.

He is so right. DOGS R 4 LIFE!

08/16/2024

Update. Unfortunately her flight didn't work out, so they are looking to rebook. Will update.

Little broken Carmelina can fly tonight !!!

Thanks to our amazing supporters, we got extra funds from Mamacita's flight, so we will be using that to cover he r!

There is an emergency vet on standby, and as soon as she arrives our friends at Good Dog Niagara (Training & Rescue) will be taking her straight there. Big THANK YOU to Ann for stepping up to help her. 🙏🏽

Thanks to everyone who has sent funds to help with her vet care!

We appreciate all of the support!

Safe flight Carmelina!

UPDATE sponsored 💕

Mamacita....we got you!

Many, many thanks to all those who reached out regarding the pregnant mama (we have named her Mamacita, at least for now 😉).

I am so happy she has a soft place to land, with thanks to our amazing partners st Speaking of Dogs 🐾🐾.

A flight has been booked for Sunday and she is now in a temp foster home.

We are looking for a flight sponsor to cover her flight to Toronto. It is $105. Funds can be sent to [email protected] with the password 'flight'.

Thank you to community members for advocating for Mamacita and reaching out for help.

It is really hard to find placement right now and I'm trying my best to use our community page here, to connect rescues with one another to help dogs like Mamacita get safe.

Super thankful for all the shares and encouragement!

💕 I am just one person, but together WE are Flights For Hope . 💕

No more waiting sweet girl.....

We are grateful to say that our friends at Good Dog Niagara have stepped up to help the little puppy that was hit by a car.

We have given her the Carmelina💛.

We are asking our supporters, to offer their support to our friends, as her vet bills could be quite expensive. Her rescuer feels the femoral head in her leg may be broken. This injury is at least a week old, and we are all hopeful that her leg can be saved. Some of this injuries, left untreated can be catastrophic.

All donations can be sent directly to the rescues vet clinic, Stevensville Animal Hospital via etransfer at [email protected] please put Carmelina in the notes.

We have lots of people here that can truly help make a difference. Even $10, whatever you can spare as it will all add up!

Thank you in advance. 🙏🏽🐾🐾

SPONSORED! Thank you to everyone who donated. It truly was a team effort!

DONATIONS NEEDED

Our friend Katie Powell is the founder of Save A Dog Network Canada . She takes in the broken, abuse, neglected, and sick....trying to patch them together until she can find a rescue partner to take them in.

Her posts are raw and very real. Some, not for the faint of heart. BUT like many of us, she is the voice of the voiceless.

Canada's Forgotten Dogs....strays with no names....that no one other then rescue people seem to know about.

Our Canadian media can saturate the news with astrosisties to animals across the globe, but our Canadian dogs do not get a lot of exposure. Our Canadian government will lend a hand (💰💰💰💰) to assist across the world, while our Canadian indigenous peoples often live in third world conditions, with the dogs around them suffering 10 fold.

It is the little guys in rescue making the biggest impact. Shouting the loudest. Saving the most. It is people like YOU that can help them.

But, dogs cannot be saved without.....money.

At Flights For Hope our mission is to help Canadian homeless dogs/those in need get to the safety of rescue. We need your ongoing help to do that.

💙 Meet Dusty and Dominic. 2 little strays brought in sick and malnourished from Northern MB via Save A Dog Network Canada.

We are looking for donations to cover their cargo flight from MB to ON. I am awaiting the total for the flight, but it is usually a little over $400.

•If you would like to contribute to getting these little cuties safe, funds can be sent to [email protected] with the password 'flight'• ✈

Thanks to Good Dog Niagara for giving them a soft spot to land.

❤Thank you in advance for your help and support. We can't do this without you! 🐾🐾🙏🏽

#175 - BRUNO

You guys will remember me posting looking for rescue placement for a little puppy named Bruno.

Our friends at Halfway Home K9 Rescue stepped up to help this sweet pup, and the wheels went into motion to get him to Ontario!

Thanks to prior donations, we were able to sponsor his flight from Winnipeg (via K9 Advocacy Manitoba ) to Toronto.

As you can see, this gorgeous boy is settling into his foster home.

His sweet face reminds me of my Mash. If he is as sweet, and smart as my boy....someone will be very lucky to have him.

Be sure to follow their page for adoptable updates!

Welcome Bruno 💙🐾🐾

#174 - JUICY

Another wee nugget made a safe arrival into the care of our friends at Freedom Dog Rescue .

Lots of little Nunavut dogs are coming this way with the help of Sash-Mar Paws Helping Northern Dogs .

If you are searching for a small breed dog (breed is always a guess! Total mishmash!), be sure to follow their page. Most of their dogs fly into the Ottawa area, some to Toronto too.

Lots of littles looking for homes!

08/14/2024

Every day a request comes into rescues for help.
Every day a dog needs to get adopted to allow rescues to take on new dogs.
This is the situation at the moment for all of my rescue partners.......they are drowning in dogs, yet there are constant cries for help.

Our friends at Boxer Rescue Ontario are no different. They have many beautiful dogs looking for homes, several bonded pairs that can't be split up (that would be heart breaking, but finding a family to take on 2 dogs is hard), and more on the wait list to come in.

Presently, they have a family living in their car with 2 boxers, that they need a foster home for. This is Canada right now. People are struggling, and dogs feel the trickle effect.

If you love smooshy faces, shorter fur, and have room for 1 or even 2, please check out their page.

Here is a glimpse of some faces in their care....

UPDATE: This sweet girl has her flight booked for Sunday. She will be heading to our friends at Speaking of Dogs . We cannot thank them enough.

🚨 URGENT RESCUE PLACEMENT NEEDED. VERY PREGNANT FEMALE! 🚨

CODE RED!!!!

This sweet girl is a stray up in Black River, Northern Manitoba.
(Heartworm risk in this area).

She needs urgent rescue placement to get her safe asap.

She can get to Winnipeg, and then to Ontario, Flights For Hope will cover the cost. She does need to fly asap as if she has her puppies there, they will not be able to fly until they are 5 weeks. 😭

She is super sweet and deserves to have proper care, especially for newborn puppies.

They deserve more then a dirt den.

Please pm me if you can help.

Update: I have an experienced home offering to foster her about 1.5 hours east of Toronto, and their app is in process with a rescue partner. My fingers are crossed it works out. Will update.

🐾🐾A basket of rez puppies....🐾🐾

What more could a girl ask for?❤

Homes for them all would be a good start 🙃.

08/13/2024

YES!

There is no dog breed in the world that doesn't need to be walked.

A walk is such a sensory experience for dogs. All the information they get to process and absorb...the sounds...the sights.... the smells....oh and more smells!!!

Higher energy dogs don't so much need to burn off energy, but USE their brains. So much stimulation in a good walk, it can really make them more content!

Not only good for them, but good for us too!

08/13/2024

Check out beautiful Sky ❤

So many dogs in need of good homes. She sounds pawfect!

She does require thyroid meds, but they aren't expensive at all.

Please consider this sweet girl, if you have room in your home, and heart. ❤

🐾PUPPY PARTY!🐾

MEET,
Joey the 2nd
Franky
Charleigh
Caramilk
Henryetta
Rosey
And of course mama Lucy who we are family with.

Sadly, a third puppy Stevo “aka porkchop” has passed away due to fading puppy syndrome.
● Fading puppy syndrome is a condition where newborn puppies become sick within the first few weeks of life and may die. Newborn puppies are vulnerable and fragile, needing 24-hour care and vigilance to survive and thrive.●
Little Pork Chop was taken to the vet, but sadly his little body was just too weak to survive.

Foster mama Linnaea and her family are of course saddened, but they have given this little family a gift along with Oshawa Animal Service Center. Without them the likelihood of any of the pups surviving living outside is pretty slim. Lucy is just a puppy herself, and isn't attentive to her babes. She does her limited mommy duties but wants to be off exploring, playing, and following Linnaea around. Being a nurse herself, Linnaea steps up and helps in the areas that Lucy lacks.

I think we could have pocketed all puppies and Lucy would just get on with her day. Bless her heart. It really is sad. But, she has the rescue promise...no more puppies after this!

They all had a vet check up today and everyone is healthy, and happy! I even got a video of little Franky taking her 1st steps trying to walk! You go girl!

Enjoy these beautiful faces, and remember in about 6 weeks time the puppies will all be looking for homes.

5 females
1 male.
Simply precious.....❤

How can it be beautiful Shera is still looking for a home?
I know why honestly....every good home, has a good dog right now...making adoptions hard.

But, Shera would make a good first dog, or a second or third!
She is the true meaning of doggy pawfection.

Please SHARE & help Shera find a pawfect people.

#170 - 173 Bingo, Bandit, Chilli, & Bluey

This adorable little quart made a safe arrival into the care of our friends at Freedom Dog Rescue and what a cute group of 4 they are!

Rescue dogs come in all different shapes and sizes, now more then ever!

There is every breed available under the sun in the care of rescues and shelters. Gone is the day when only behavioral dogs lay waiting to be adopted, now getting all dogs adopted is tough. Even puppies.

But, these guys being small breed mutts, will no doubtfully be popular.

Look at those little faces.

Welcome little ones!

08/11/2024

#164 - 169 PUPPIES 1 - 6

All of the little puppies you guys sponsored flights for to Ottawa have made a safe landing into the care of our friends at Riverview Rescues .

They all don't have names yet, but they all have wonderful foster homes that welcomed them in!

Speaking of names, as a fundraiser to raise money for the puppy's vetting, Riverview Rescues is allowing people to sponsor those vet costs, and name their puppy! Hop on over to the rescue's page if you want to help.

So many dogs are in need at the moment. My rescue partners depend on donations to keep them afloat. Sadly recently rescues have been closing their doors to intake, even some permanently. It is a very hopeless feeling for many at the moment. Besides the municipal shelters we work with, all of our rescue partners are volunteer base and get no government funding.

Every donation counts, no matter how small.

Look at these beautiful lives saved, thanks to the dedication of all those involved in rescue!

08/10/2024

Everyone is sponsored!!! Many thanks!!!!

FLIGHT SPONSORS NEEDED

MORE PUPPIES NEED YOU!

We have 7 more puppies that we need flight sponsors for!

All 7 little puppies were saved with thanks to our friends at K9 Advocacy Manitoba, where they have feet on the ground, continuously doing what they can to save lives in Northern Manitoba.

These 7 sweet babies will be heading to our partners at Northern Connection Rescue, where they will enter into their foster care program...with the hopes of eventually finding forever homes.

The light pup's mama will be staying in Manitoba, as she was foster failed by her foster family, so is already 🏡 home.

We need $50 more to sponsor each pup as we have some prior donations.

To sponsor a puppy, funds can be sent to [email protected] with the password 'flight'.

That's just 7 people with $50 to spare to help these little ones on their journey!

Please comment below to help!
Thank you in advance.
How precious are they? 🥰

💕EVERYONE IS COVERED! TY SO MUCH💕

Looking to help a homeless dog get safe? Look no further!

We have some wee pups that need our help with their flight costs.

These 5 wee pups are flying tonight via Sash-Mar Paws Helping Northern Dogs. The 4 lighter fluffy pups they think are possibly poodle/shihzu mixes.
BLUEY & CHILLI are the females 💜💜
BINGO & BANDIT are the males 💙💙.
Sash-Mar Paws will sponsoring Moms spay and she will stay with her family.

The solo puppy, also very cute 🥰, is maybe 8 weeks old. She was surrendered to Nunavut Animal Rescue to volunteer, meeting at Booster Juice. This which explains her sassy name JUICY 😝.

These 5 beautiful pups can be sponsored for $91 per puppy. If you cannot sponsor the entire cost, but would like to help you can send a general donation too. I will take those donations off the top of the total cost, and lower the sponsor costs accordingly.

Funds can be sent to [email protected] with the password 'flight'. Please put Sash-Mar in the notes so I can direct your donation accordingly.

Appreciate your help!
Let's get these wee babes covered!

Happy Friday!

Placement has been secured with our partners at Halfway Home K9 Rescue . For those interested in Bruno, please follow their page for updates. They also have many other beautiful dogs looking for homes.

SEEKING RESCUE PLACEMENT.

Sweet little Bruno was saved by our friends at K9 Advocacy Manitoba.
We are seeking a rescue in ON to take him into their care.
He is a sweet as pie, has had his vaccinations and has been dewormed.
He is approx 3 months old.

Flights For Hope will cover his flight to get him here.

If anyone is even interested in fostering, or fostering to adopt, I can try to match you up with one of my rescue partners.

I'm in love....but I already have 220 pounds of Northern love in my home!!!

Come on....someone scoop him up! 🙏🏽❤

#162 & 163 SAKARI & YUKA (aka Burna)

I just received these beautiful photos of Sakari and Yuka, and wanted to share them with you guys!

We were calling him, 'husky boy', but he now has a perfect name, Sakari 💙.
His eye has been examined by the vet, and unfortunately, he has entropion. This will require corrective surgery.

Burna has been renamed Yuka, which is much, much better 💞. We don't want her past to define her future. Those burns may etched their way i to her body, but not her soul.

Both dogs are doing well and the staff at Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary are taking wonderful care of them.

So grateful to be able to work with amazing rescues both in MB and ON....these photos say it all.

Please consider making a donation to Dog Tales to help with Sakari's surgery.
