This week, we`re celebrating an incredible partner who shares our goal of giving animals a second chance. When Northwest Canadian Greyhound League(@ncglcanada) reached out to help transport Prince and Bailey—two beautiful surrender greyhounds—we were honoured to step in.
Thanks to their tireless dedication and the volunteer pilot who donated their time and aircraft, Prince and Bailey soared across the skies to their foster homes in Alberta, where they`re now one step closer to finding their forever families.
To the team at Northwest Canadian Greyhound League: thank you for trusting us to be part of these journeys. Your commitment to rescuing and rehoming greyhounds inspires us every day.

From abandoned to adored.
When Skye was found alone on a rooftop, dehydrated and starving, @WetNosesRescue stepped in, and thanks to the generous donations that support their work, she made a full recovery. Now she’s ready for her next chapter: a final safe, loving home.
Huge thanks to volunteer pilot @BradReid_BTC for donating his time (and a whole lot of care) to bring Skye to safety.
On the first attempt at the transport, weather forced them to turn back, but Brad went above and beyond to keep Skye comfortable and secure overnight. Day two brought clearer skies, and they made the full trip through B.C.’s interior to complete Skye’s journey to her new home.
A true team effort, and a powerful reminder of what happens when people show up for animals who can’t ask for help.

We closed out 2025 with one last transport on December 30!
When ground options are limited, civil aviation can help close the gap so animals reach the help they need.
Six puppies, found living outdoors in Saskatchewan with no available fosters, needed a transfer across provinces to care. Volunteer pilot Ken flew his Piper turboprop from Saskatoon, SK to Victoria, B.C., delivering the pups safely to our partner @Itty.Bitty.Kitty.Committeeibkc.
This flight was the final step in a larger rescue effort led by Northern Pup Project in Saskatchewan. Thank you to the many volunteers on the ground—the finder, temporary caregivers, vet teams, drivers, and coordinators—who stabilized these pups and got them flight-ready.
And a special thanks to pilot @Dr.Campbell.vet.dentist who also volunteered for this transport.
Here`s to another exciting year of flying with a purpose!

A coastal B.C. relay of three eagles, told in three flights…
Volunteer pilot @Fraserrecon departed Vancouver in his amphibious aircraft (a plane equipped to take off and land on both water and runways), heading for Bella Bella.
Waiting there: two rehabilitated eagles cleared by @OWLRehab to return to the wild. With the birds secured and weather checked, he turned north to Masset, where both eagles were released back to coastal skies.
The mission wasn’t over. In Masset, a third eagle—injured and in need of specialized care—was ready for transport. He set course south and flew the raptor patient to Vancouver, where the team at OWL (Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society) stood by to receive it.
From Vancouver to Bella Bella to Masset and back to Vancouver, we can’t thank @Fraserrecon enough for his commitment and generous donation of his time and aircraft.

We’re still squeezing in a few more transports in 2025!
A sandhill crane found near Sault Ste. Marie was cared for by a local community member, who lovingly named him “Sugar,” while they searched for help. At roughly nine months old and orphaned, he needed to head south for rehab to survive the winter.
This weekend, volunteer pilot Gerd W. met Sugar in Sault Ste. Marie and flew him to Muskoka Airport, where @WoodlandsWildlifeSanctuary picked him up for transfer to Minden, Ontario.
At this time of year, challenging weather conditions are expected. Gerd navigated tight weather windows over several days, saving the team a drive of over 12 hours. Safety, planning, and partnership made it possible.
Thank you to Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary, the individual who cared for Sugar, and Gerd for seeing this through. This is public-benefit flying in action!
