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.

We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the Canadian Wings of Rescue flock, Tracy Germaine.
Tracy is joining our team as the new Treasurer for the Board. With over 15 years of experience in finance and operations, both in the public and private sectors, Tracy is the perfect fit to help keep our organization soaring. But that`s not all - her love of animals and family history in aviation make her a natural addition to Canadian Wings of Rescue.
When she`s not crunching numbers, Tracy enjoys embarking on wild adventures with the Kratt Brothers. Her newest hobby? 3D printing - she`s been busy creating all sorts of cool 3D models, maybe even a few animal friends!
We are overjoyed to have Tracy on board. Her passion for our feathered (and non-feathered!) friends is truly inspiring.
Welcome aboard, Tracy! 🐾

We can`t get enough of Hugo! 🐶
When this ultra-lovable Bouvier needed help getting from Sherbrooke, QC to his new adoptive family in Hamilton, ON, pilot @TangoTangoMango and partner, @KarolBu_ volunteered to fly the trip.
Hugo`s original family had to make the difficult decision to surrender him due to personal reasons, but thanks to Bouvier Rescuers of Ontario, Canada, Maciej’s dedication, and our team of volunteers, Hugo has started a bright new chapter with a family who welcomed him in with open arms. 💕
We`d like to give a big thank you to @Jetport_Charter for their generous support of this flight. Our FBO and airport partners play a critical role in making more transports possible.

🦅 Father-Son Heroes Take Flight! ✈️
A few days ago, a bald eagle was taken to @ThunderBirdWildlife in Thunder Bay with a wing injury, urgently needing life-saving surgery. Specialists at the @NationalWildlifeCentre in Caledon, ON, were ready to help—but the centre is over 1,300 km away, and time was running out. ⏳
Enter @kai.salvini and @PSalvini—an incredible father-son pilot duo—who stepped up. Within hours of seeing our call for help, they volunteered to fly this beautiful eagle to the care it needed. Thanks to their quick action, this eagle now has a second chance at life. ❤️
At Canadian Wings of Rescue, our volunteer pilots like Kai and Paul donate their time, skills, and aircraft to transport animals in need across Canada.
🙏 How You Can Help: As a 100% volunteer-run charity, we rely on donations to continue these life-saving missions. Help us spread the word, share our story, and encourage more pilots to join our cause. Your donations and advocacy make all the difference!

Did you know that Canadian Wings of Rescue flights have their own unique call sign? 🐾
In aviation, call signs are a mix of letters and numbers used to identify aircraft in communication with air traffic control. But with us, it’s a little more special! 💖
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! 🐾
We love how this serves as a reminder of the purpose behind every flight—saving animals! 🐕Have you flown with us? Drop your PP call sign(s) in the comments! ✈️🐾
