PilotsNPaws

PilotsNPaws is trying to plan a 5,000 Animal Rescue Week to highlightsecurity clearance requirements that may threaten air transport ofanimals. They are asking if rescues across the country are willing toparticipate in transporting an animal of theirs on a given week yet tobe determined. TO DATE,THEY HAVE HAD FEW RESPONSES FROM RESCUE GROUPS.Air transport by volunteer pilots is so important. I think rescues wouldlove this!!! The word is simply not getting to them.I have posted a link to this blog. Please go there and comment and sendthis to rescue groups. CROSS POST like mad. We can't lose these pilots.They also need people to join as voluteer fosters. They have a greatinteractive map showing volunteers and where pilots are located. Pleasehelp with this. Can you imagine 5,000 animals in the air in one weekgoing to rescue or forever homes?!!!Please go the blog and comment if you are a rescue willing toparticipate. Obviously, people can't hold dogs but it enough can belocated within a given distance of these airports, then whoever has an animal that needs to get somewhere that week, can participate.

Pups2go transport is behind you 100% I would hate to see the restrictions and red tape hinder the good work that the pilots do. I have met Jon at the Sparta TN airport several times,He has helped so many rescues to get dogs where they need to be so they have a chance at life. Count Pups 2 go in on this.

Pups2go would love to participate in the 5000 animal rescue week.Tell me more and I will get this out to my contacts.
I met Jon at the Sparta TN airport several times, all these pilots are doing great work and helping rescues get animals where they need to be, to start a new life.
I do ground transportation, and am so restricted by the feds. it makes everything so complicated and expensive, you feel like giving up.
