Canadian Wings of Rescue is a 100% volunteer run federally registered charity organization dedicated to transporting 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 free, short domestic flights via our dedicated volunteer pilots wherever possible.
Transports help abused, abandoned and injured animals and help animals get to fosters, adopters, rehabilitation centres or other not-for-profit organizations.
Registered charity #808636088RR0001
We have flown many companion animals from shelters to rescues and forever homes across the country.
Thanks to continued support, injured wildlife benefit from the expertise of far away rehabilitation groups.
Donations can be made to Canadian Wings of Rescue through Canada Helps at www.canadahelps.org
When an injured bald eagle needed urgent help, volunteers stepped up, and fast.
From Thunder Bay to Southern Ontario, this rescue transport was a powerful display of compassion, coordination, and care. It took a late-night landing, an overnight foster and a team of volunteers united by one mission: care.

Freya, a stunning husky mix, has made her way to a new foster family thanks to pilot @BradReid_BTC, @WetNosesRescue and CWoR Transport Coordinator, @Bailey.Fenton.5294!
Fosters play a vital role in helping a pet transition into a forever home. Hoping to find her new adoptive family, Freya has made a pitstop at her second foster home in Cranbrook, BC.
Thankfully, Freya was rescued from a dangerous situation. Up until recently, her days and nights were spent chained up and starved while also trying to care for her puppies. Thanks to Wet Noses, her days are now filled with lots of treats, playing and snuggles.
Weβre so proud of this community who give animals the kindness and respect they deserve.
If you can donate to our cause please do! We appreciate any donation, big or small and each dollar goes to helping us help animals - big and small!

π¦ Prepare for an inspiring journey with an incredible wildlife rescue story! We have an amazing tale of teamwork and hope to share!
Meet these three gorgeous Great Horned Owl nestlings who recently embarked on a significant adventure. After a difficult beginning β experiencing injuries and becoming orphaned due to nest incidents β they found vital help and exceptional care at the @wildbirdcarecentre. They progressed from vulnerable hatchlings to strong, developing young owls!
The next vital stage in their journey involves learning crucial "owl skills" under the guidance of foster parents! This is where Canadian Wings of Rescue was honoured to step in. We had the privilege of flying these three remarkable birds to their temporary new home at @theowlfoundation where they will continue their rehabilitation and prepare for their eventual return to the freedom of the wild.
A huge thank you to our skilled pilot, Gerd W., for providing a secure and comfortable first flight for these owlets! This story truly demonstrates the power of collaboration in wildlife conservation. We`re excited to follow their progress and look forward to the day they soar back into their forest home!
