Our pilot, Jeremy Hope, just delivered over 900lbs of critical supplies to remote God's Lake Narrows! This community relies on such deliveries to keep their animals safe and healthy over the winter months.
We have a lot more food and supplies waiting in Winnipeg. Any pilots able to help transport are encouraged to reach out to us!
This little Barred Owl flew with us to be rehabilitated at @theowlfoundation in June. Now, all grown up and healthy, we are flying him back to the wild!
Today, this Barred Owl and a Screech Owl friend are waiting at St. Catherines Airport to be picked up and be released back home 🌲🌲🦉
Meet Lizzi! When she was a stray, she came into the care of our newest partner rescue @wetnosesrescue (see first picture)
And meet Lizzi now (see second picture) - through the love and care of rehabbers at Wet Noses Rescue, she's in great health 😍
On September 26, she'll be welcomed in Vancouver, from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She'll then be flying with us to her new forever home in Calgary 🛩🐾🐕
Keep tuned for updates on her journey
Our passengers (one Great Horned Owl and one Red Tail Hawk) getting loaded into their containers! They will be on the road soon to the airport where they will next meet up with our volunteer Pilot Gerd for what will be their last airplane ride back "home" to Ottawa - their next flight ... no pilot or plane required! Back to the wild 🌳🦅🌲
In late July, two fledgling Merlin Falcons were found orphaned and turned over to one of our animal rehab partners @wildbirdcarecentre
That's where we came in and transported the birds to @theowlfoundation for more specialized care! Each bird was transported in their own girl guide cookie box by our amazing pilot Gerd. He flew the pair from Carp Airport to Burlington and graciously drove the rest of the way to the Owl Foundation offices.
Stay tuned, as this week Gerd flies another pair of birds who have been fully rehabilitated by the Owl Foundadtion and are ready for release!
ZARA IS HOME!! 🏡🐾❤️
After over a week of flying across this country, from coast to coast, Zara was fitted with a headset this morning, and flown the final leg from Olds, AB to Revelstoke, BC by CWOR Pilot @rajacobs14 to be united with her new family! She is now safely home, getting settled into her new life with a loving family in #beauifulbritishcolumbia
A huge thank you to our pilots that flew this cross country-relay and hosted Zara at their homes during layovers: Pilot Clay Berndt (@clayberndt), Pilot Greg Campbell, Pilot Jeff Helps, Pilot Robert Campbell (@dr.campbell.vet.dentist) , and Pilot Archie Jacobs (@rajacobs1)! Despite weather delays and the overall complexity of the mission, these selfless heroes took Zara in as their own and got her home.
This was certainly a complex mission! Hats off, and our total admiration to our Transport Coordinator Anson Chappell for tirelessly planning out and managing the logistics 🛩🗺🧠
Shoutout to Maritime Basset Hound Rescue and Zara's new family, @einsteinandzarathebassets -
Thank you for trusting us with her care ❤️
We can't do what we do without the support of our gracious donors. Please consider giving what you can using the link in the bio.
We are happy to announce that last night, Winnie made it to St. John's and is united with her new family 😍
From being found in a horrible condition on a garbage heap in Jamaica to finding her new home in Nova Scotia, Winnie's story is one of resilience. No matter what came, and throughout her long journey, she kept a smile on her face. We are so happy that Winnie has finally found the home she deserves!
The entire community who helped Winnie find a home deserves immeasureable thanks - @montegobayanimalhaven for rescuing her and helping her find her way, Hope for fostering her in Ontario, and our pilot Greg for his selfless sense of service. We cannot make these flights happen without the support of our amazing donors! Please consider donating what you can using the link in the bio.
