I dare you to consider the mission of Pilots n Paws... and not
be affected. Devoted to helping the helpless, the aviators who
comprise Pilots n Paws not only do "a service" to the world... but
also show the world how big a heart aviation (and aviators)
possess.
Pilots N Paws is an organization created for pilots and other
volunteers who help to transport rescue animals by air. Their
mission is to provide a user-friendly communication venue
between those that rescue, shelter, and foster animals; and pilots
and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of these
animals.
Pilots n Paws notes that a general aviation transport requires
just one pilot volunteer and is far more efficient and dependable
than time-consuming ground transportation for these animals who are
often in danger of euthanization. Volunteer pilots retain complete
authority of their planning and flights, and can give as much or as
little time as they like.
The nexus of PnP is their online discussion board... Through the
discussion board those involved can exchange information so that
they can set up an entire transport and share all information
necessary to successfully accomplish the goal, but also allow
others to volunteer their efforts if they see help is needed to
save animals.
All participants are encouraged to check daily for various new
listings on the discussion board for purposes of volunteering or
assisting in an effort to save animals.
The discussion board is also intended for participants to
develop friendships and relationships and to get to know one
another, "because we are all working for a common goal."
