Yesterday morning, Baton Rouge greeted us with a beautiful sunrise that was fitting for a celebration. Thanks to our partners at we were able to fly 56 pets to Binghamton, NY, where a second chance awaited them. Among this fine furry crew, was Dolly, a beautiful sable border collie who just happened to be our 7,000th passenger!

We are so grateful to have reached yet another incredible milestone, and in just under 3 years! Our mission is to continue to provide air transportation to animals in life threatening situations, and reduce the number of animals lost to circumstance. We can’t do it without amazing partners, supporters, donors, and friends like you...thank you! 🩵🩷💛

It was another incredible weekend with another trip to California in continued efforts to help alleviate the overcrowded shelters in the Los Angeles area in the wake of the wildfires.

We had privilege of working with North Shore Animal League and Riverside County Animal Services over the past few weeks to bring 43 dogs to the east coast for a second chance at finding the families they’re meant to be with and meeting their new best friends.

If anyone can give them that opportunity, it’s North Shore and the amazing Port Washington community.

WELCOME TO THE EAST COAST! 🐾❤️

Great things await you.

When natural disasters occur, which is becoming more and more frequent, the initial response to make room…create space for the lost, displaced, injured and suddenly orphaned. The best way to do that is to transport animals currently in shelters to healthy, available adoption centers in safe locations.

Although the LA wildfires have been extinguished, their devastating effects are still being felt. The not only worked to help create more of that much needed space, but also found foster homes for the dogs struggling in the overcrowded shelters and ill with respiratory ailments. Over several weeks, these loving fosters loved, nursed and healed these loving souls and helped them get ready for their next journey.

On Saturday, we met and these outstanding fosters in LA, where 23 dogs waited to board our plane tucked in with favorite blankets to keep them comfy on their flight to Minnesota.

Six amazing shelters were waiting for them! After a quiet and uneventful morning flight, our perfect passengers were greeted with loving arms, open hearts and lots of hope. 🩵

We are so thankful to have met this wonderful team and incredibly happy to have been part of this story.

Looking forward to saving lives with you all again soon!

🥁….FLIGHT #100 IS IN THE BOOKS!

Yesterday, thanks to we were able to make our 100th rescue, and we’re happy that it was with the team that took us on our first!

We left Baton Rouge, LA with 74 dogs and cats onboard, bound for amazing shelters in Maine and New Hampshire. Here are some of the sweet pups we had the pleasure of helping begin their new life!

STOP 4: “If it fits, it flies!” 🐷🐰🐭
While we usually transport dogs and cats, we’ve found a handful of other furry friends onboard as well!

On September 28, 2023, on our way back from NY, we stopped in Eerie County to pick up one, Penelope Pig. 🐽 She needed a little pick me up to a lovely farm in NC, where there was a lot of mud and loads of love for her.

We’ve also welcomed rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas!

STOP 3: Anyone in animal rescue will tell you there is nothing we love more than a happy ending. It’s what we want for every animal, and what they deserve. So, when we see amazing glow-ups and happy tails from sad trails, we love to share!

On March 2, 2023, we worked with and to bring 70 dogs rescued from commercial breeders in Missouri. When they arrived in Manassas, VA, they were covered in ticks, fleas, skin infections, and had been severely neglected. These dogs were some of the saddest I’ve seen. But in the loving hands and expert care of and these dogs were absolutely transformed!

JUST LOOK AT THESE FACES!

The gift of a second chance is an amazing thing. ✈️❤️🐾

STOP 2: On April 5, 2024, we flew 74 pups and puppies from Baton Rouge, LA to Binghamton, NY. Our pilots see a lot of sweet faces (work perk!), but every once in a while, there’s one that looks you in the eyes and goes straight to your heart.

That was just such a day for Keith. A little border collie was lying patiently in his crate when Keith snapped a photo for our social media pages, in fact, he took lots of photos that morning…but he kept coming back to that one.

He sent the pic to his family in Tennessee and by the time they landed in New York, he was making plans to bring that little black and white pup back home with him.

It was quite the adventure for Buddy that day, but he quickly settled in for the ride home and had an equally enthusiastic brother, Otis, waiting to meet him. Otis was adopted from Baton Rouge as well, from another fateful flight. ☺️

We hear no ball is safe around those two! ❤️🐾

STOP 1 on our Flightseeing Tour down Memory Lane: On Dec 15, 2023, we made our first cross country flight from NY > KY > CA. reached out in need of help to bring 3 special needs pups from Iraq to their new homes in sunny CA.

And it just so happened their new homes were just down the road from an amazing shelter team who had agreed to take a plane full of dogs from - but they had no way to get them there. We would be flying over Hazard, KY on our way to Chino Hills and needed to overnight our 3 Iraq pups, so when we took off the next morning, there were a handful of hounds with us!

It was truly a Christmas miracle and a trip we won’t soon forget! ✈️🐾❤️

Hi Friends! 👋🏽 Remember us?! ✈️🐾 Folks who have been here a while know we’re usually pretty quiet at the beginning of the year, but for the newer crew; it’s annual maintenance and inspection time, pilot training, and good ol’ Mother Nature often pops in and grounds us for a little longer than we’d like. Although she keeps us on our toes, off our feet and in the air is what we do best!

So, this week we’re returning to the air and it happens to mark another big milestone for us…IT’S OUR 100th FLIGHT!!! 🎉🎈🥳

While we’re loading the plane and getting ready to take off with these extra special passengers today, we thought we’d take a look back at a handful of our most memorable flights…..🎥🎞️

As another year winds down, it’s a good time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished, be thankful for how far we’ve come, and proudly share where we’re going in 2025.

In January, we promised a year chock-full of ambitious rescue goals and far-reaching objectives, which we strived to reach with each passing week. And we are so very proud to say that this year has been everything we hoped for and more...we have squeezed so much incredible work into these past 12 months.

With that being said, we are beyond excited to announce our new partnership ~ with the

🧡🧡🧡 🐶🐱✈️ 🧡🧡🧡

Over the last several months, we’ve been talking with the amazing ASPCA team, discussing how we might work together to save more lives through air transportation and much needed relocation for dogs and cats in overwhelmed shelters.

On Tuesday, November 19th, we flew to Hattiesburg, MS, where 46 dogs were waiting to board our plane bound for Coatesville, PA. Since that day, we’ve flown a total of four missions from Mississippi to Pennsylvania, transporting 112 dogs and 67 cats, nearly 200 animals, to a fresh start in a safe place, where we hope they’ll be able to live long, healthy lives.

We’re looking forward to making many more flights with the ASPCA! It’s an honor to be their partner and share in the outstanding work their organization does for animals across the country.
