At Canadian Wings of Rescue, every animal’s journey is a testament to hope, resilience, and the power of passional people coming together. Griswold—affectionately known as Grizzy—is one such story that has warmed our hearts and reminded us why we do what we do. Grizzy’s adventure...
19 cats, 1 pilot, 1 unforgettable flight.
We want to send huge thanks and congratulations to @hermanojonomono who completed his FIRST volunteer flight with Canadian Wings of Rescue – and wow was it a big one!
When our friends at @BPRescue and @NP_ForgottenFelinesSociety reached out about an urgent need in northern BC, pilot Jonathan didn’t hesitate. He took to the skies to transport 19 cats in 8 crates on board his aircraft!
These cats were rescued from a remote community where no local resources were available. Without this flight, they wouldn’t have had a chance at forever homes.
There is an urgent need for cat foster homes and adopters across the country.
👉 Consider fostering a cat and especially if you are in the Victoria, BC area, contact Broken Promises!
👉 Adopt — don’t shop — and give a rescued cat a second chance.
Broken Promises is also accepting donations of food and supplies to help with their new residents. Visit their page for more information.
We’re proud to support journeys like this and are so grateful to pilot volunteers like Jonathan and the rescue teams who make them happen.

Recently, Canadian Wings of Rescue was called upon by @TheOwlFoundation to assist with a critically injured bald eagle, found by community members near Moosonee, Ontario.
The eagle, named Migaso, meaning “eagle” in Cree, was discovered in distress and needed urgent medical attention. Knowing the situation was critical, volunteer pilot @ClayBerndt stepped forward, taking off the very next morning to bring Migaso to the Foundation for emergency care.
Tragically, despite every effort, Migaso passed away while Clay was en route.
While these moments are heartbreaking, we believe it’s important to honour every effort — even when the outcome isn’t what we hoped for. To Randy, Clay, Annick, Brian, Horace, and everyone who came together to help — thank you.
Migaso was treated with dignity and urgency, and that matters deeply.

Just a year ago, an adorable mixed malamute by the name of Poplar from northern Saskatchewan was rescued along with 6 other pups in search of their forever home. Now going by Finley, look at him all grown up while keeping that big smile on his face!
Finley found his perfect adopted match with Dani, and we couldn`t be more thankful that he`s living his best life as happy as ever - whether he was a small pup then or the big expressive boy he is now! 🐾

In our latest blog post, go behind the scenes of a real Canadian Wings of Rescue flight and see what it takes to make these transports happen.
SPOILER ALERT: It takes a huge group of passionate people who prioritize respecting, supporting, and caring for animals.
In this story, you`ll follow the journey of two golden retrievers, Max and Maple from @goldenrescuecanada, as they fly toward their chance at forever homes.
From flight planning to navigating tricky weather conditions (and managing two non-stop wagging tails), it’s all in a day’s work for our volunteers.
