Hi dog lovers! Here's a heartwarming story of Canadian Wings of Rescue's most recent expidition.
At the end of January we came across a Facebook post that was asking for assistance getting three hairless animals out the interior region of BC to her rescue in Saskatoon. We reached out right away offering the services of Canadian Wings of Rescue (CWoR).
We were provided information about a tragic domestic situation and a loving owner who knew she needed help providing ongoing care and love to her animals even if that meant they needed to be relinquished. Ultimately, CWoR agreed to help with this transport even though our services were just being rebuilt and restructured.
CWoR had arranged transports with 3-4 pilots in total over the course of several weeks and continually re-arranged transports based on availability changes and weather pattern changes over the mountains. The hairless wonder trio was set up at a temporary foster home with the timer counting down on their agreed upon accommodation timeline. Instead of admitting defeat, we posted on a Facebook pet transport group where we heard from @Brandi Oliver with Fur The Haul of It and offered help with getting our trio over the mountains by car.
Over a week or two, both parties coordinated the best transport dates and times for getting them from Surrey, BC to Calgary area where we had a pilot ready to transport them the rest of the way.
Josh drove the long haul to Calgary where another ground transport was arranged with a lady named Barbara. She picked up hairless wonders in Calgary and drove them North to Olds, AB where she handed them off to our Pilot, Archie Jacobs. Archie housed the group for the night to prepare them for an early morning fly out to Saskatoon in a small weather window
On Thursday March 2, 2023, Kermit, Harry & Denis were secured in Archie’s plane and flown across the border and into the arms of Prairie Sphynx rescue in Saskatoon.
This transport took an entire month to achieve but with persistence and determination, we managed to get the first transport of 2023 done!
Congratulations to CWoR, Fur The Haul of It and Prairie Sphynx of helping vulnerable animals!
We're back, like we never left!
Canadian Wings of Rescue (originally known as Pilots n Paws Canada) is now taking on a new chapter in its ongoing effort of saving the lives of vulnerable animals one flight at a time. A new board of directors is working hard to bring us back to full operational capacity!
Stay tuned for upcoming missions and event!
