On behalf of all of us at SFC, we’d like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to friends and family of Seuk Kim, a volunteer pilot who was tragically killed in a plane crash outside of Albany yesterday evening while flying 3 dogs to rescue.
We had the pleasure of meeting Seuk many times, as he spent countless hours flying animals from shelters to rescues all across the east coast, and he even adopted one of our kittens! We saw him just yesterday afternoon at a local airport while picking up our own dogs, moments before he embarked on his last rescue mission. As always, Seuk was upbeat, smiling, and happy- we never once saw him in a bad mood!
Transporters are the unseen, unsung heroes of the rescue world, acting as the bridge that helps so many pets who wouldn’t have a chance in their original shelters. Many of them, including Seuk, do this important work on their own time, using their own resources. Whether by car or by air, their work makes such an important difference and truly allows rescues like SFC and others to save pets we couldn’t otherwise reach.
We hope that you were greeted by thousands of wagging tails at the rainbow bridge, Seuk. The rescue community has lost an amazing one!
