Canadian Wings of Rescue is a 100% volunteer run federally registered charity organization dedicated to rescuing animals within Canada. Our purpose is to work with Canadian rescue groups, shelters, and/or wildlife rehabilitation centres when they are faced with a transportation need. We arrange short flights via our amazing volunteer pilots wherever possible.
We provide free, or low cost options for, domestic flights to Canadian not-for-profit animal welfare organizations. Transports for abused, abandoned and injured animals to fosters, adopters, rehabilitation or transfers to other not-for-profit organizations.

Did you know that Canadian Wings of Rescue flights have their own unique call sign? πΎ
In aviation, call signs are a mix of letters and numbers used to identify aircraft in communication with air traffic control. But with us, itβs a little more special! π
Every Canadian Wings of Rescue transport starts with "PP," which stands for "Paw Print." For example, during our latest flight, our volunteer pilot used the call sign PP035 in all communications! πΎ
We love how this serves as a reminder of the purpose behind every flightβsaving animals! πHave you flown with us? Drop your PP call sign(s) in the comments! βοΈπΎ

This Thanksgiving, we`re grateful for your selfless service and big hearts.
Wishing you clear skies, smooth landings, and a holiday filled with joy. Thank you for giving the gift of life and love! ππ§‘

A Trail, BC family has just welcomed a new pup into their home!
After being surrendered to @AVoice4Paws in Vancouver, the rescue eventually found a new home for Keeper. The only issueβ¦it was over 600 km away! Thatβs where we came in. We believe distance should never be a barrier to adoption.
Instead of a long road trip, Keeper made the journey by air, arriving safely and swiftly at his new home thanks to pilot @BigtotheRescue and our volunteers.
Upon arrival, Keeper was welcomed with open arms and lots of love by his new dog-mom, Llora, and her family.
Spread the word about our mission, donate, or volunteer with us to make more stories like Keeperβs possible. Together, we can bring more pets to their forever homes.

Three incredible dogsβRhea, Sidney, and Preacherβwere surrendered to @A_Tail_to_Tell Rescue in Manitoba and found themselves in need of a new chance.
Thankfully, our amazing network of volunteers came together to give them a fresh start!
After making their way from Manitoba to Toronto, our volunteer pilot, @TangoTangoMango, generously donated his aircraft and time to fly these pups from @bbishopairport to @flyyow, where @BarkOttawa was ready to welcome them with open arms.
Moving to BARK Ottawa gives Rhea, Sidney, and Preacher a better shot at adoption and finding their forever homes!
A huge thank you to @Stolport.ytz for their partnership which makes it easier and more affordable for pilots to fuel-up and fly these life-changing transports.
If you believe every animal deserves a second chance, join us in supporting future transports. Donate, volunteer, or share this story to help spread the word.
