Charity Spotlight: The blog post was provided by Gini Green, the\u00a0Founder of\u00a0Pilots N Paws Canada, as part of our ongoing charity spotlight series.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pilots<\/p>\n

Pilots N Paws Canada started out in 2012 to help Canadian rescues and shelters with dogs, cats, puppies and kittens, but in just four years, we have expanded our free transportation to other wildlife including 14 pound snapping turtles, falcons, Snowy Owls, small endangered birds, and many other rescue animals we never had expected to help when we first started. Our volunteers have driven and flown over a thousand companion and wildlife animals to get them the help they need and give them the chance at a better life. At Pilots N Paws Canada, we provide free transportation for rescue groups in Canada that do not have the means to get animals to rehabilitation treatment, medical assistance, fosters, and larger populated regions where they could have a better chance at adoptions.<\/p>\n

So what does that mean to animals?<\/strong> Our services allow injured animals, sometimes from remote communities, to undergo lifesaving surgeries and then return back to the region they came from to be released into the wild as they should be. This means that overburdened Canadian shelters get a chance to transport healthy, adoptable pets that would have had their survival threatened if they remained in their sparsely populated regions. We transport them to areas that have Canadians looking for a new member of their family, giving the animal a chance at a new life.<\/p>\n
