Calling all wildlife organizations! It`s never too early to begin thinking about your busy spring seasons.
This year alone, our volunteer pilots helped transport a turkey vulture, countless owls, a swan, hawks, eagles, a turtle, and a crane. In past seasons, even a coyote and a bear cub. We coordinate no-cost, short-haul flights that reduce stress and speed up transfers between rehab centres, vets, and release sites.
How it works: you request a transport; we reach out to our network of volunteer pilots; together we confirm the safest plan.
What helps us help you:
-Species and crate dimensions
-Origin, destination, and target timing
-Handling notes (quiet loading areas, temperature needs, etc.)

Thanks to our volunteer pilot Walter, Gambit the swan safely made its way to @WildlifeRescueBC. 💙
After arrival at their facilities, the rescue’s team identified Gambit specifically as a Tundra Swan — a species of special concern in BC.
Unfortunately, the bird has several injuries consistent with a hard impact, including swelling and bruising, difficulty walking, and signs of head trauma.
The good news: he is eating well and receiving pain management, antibiotics, and close monitoring.
While the prognosis remains uncertain, the care team is hopeful and will continue supporting Gambit as he rests and recovers.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Another 7 pups recently took a journey to Calgary thanks to volunteer pilot Ken who flew these pups to @calgaryanimalrescue, one of our trusted rescue partners in Alberta.
We partner with this incredible organization regularly to help transport animals from overcrowded shelters. They provide medical care, fostering, and adoption services across the Calgary area.
Thanks to Ken for getting these 7 there safely, and to Calgary Animal Rescue Society for taking them in. A huge shout out to all our volunteers behind the scenes who work tireless to coordinate logistics, ensure safety and prioritize care for every rescue transport.

Every animal deserves love, comfort, and a family to call their own. Today, on International Animal Rights Day, we`re celebrating with one from our summer transports - Bailey & Benny`s story! These wiggly pups flew from Manitoba to their forever homes thanks to @ChanceRescue613 and pilots @cessna_ag_pilot95 and Gerd.
Because every life matters, and every animal deserves to soar towards their new beginning!

If you’ve been with us since the launch of our organization, you’ve seen just how much we’ve grown.
But at our core, our purpose has never changed.
Frankie and Poppy`s story is one we’ll always hold close. In 2016, Pilots Dave and Matt flew the pair to their forever homes.
Nine years after her rescue flight, her adopter reached out with a comment that reminded us why our staff volunteers, volunteer pilots, and rescue and wildlife partners do what they do.
To our past and present pilots, and to every volunteer who has made a flight possible: thank you. Your impact lasts a lifetime.
Head to our blog to read the full heart-warming story. Link in bio.

Two gorgeous Greyhounds, Prince and Bailey, finally made it to their new foster families last month. 🐾
After weeks of searching for fosters and a safe transport option, our rescue partner Northwest Canadian Greyhound League (NCGL) @ncglcanada reached out to us to help the surrenders.
With few fosters available in their local area, the pair’s best shot at future forever homes was in Alberta.
Our long-time volunteer pilot @dr.campbell.vet.dentist stepped in to fly the boys from Boundary Bay, BC to Springbank, AB giving them the chance they needed.
It truly took a village and we can’t wait to hear more about Prince and Bailey’s new adventures soon!

Our volunteer pilot, Walter, recently took to the skies to fly two cats, adorably named Donnie and Marie, plus a litter of kittens from Northern B.C. to the Vancouver area.
If Walter looks familiar, that`s because he flew one of our most memorable transports of 19 cats (!) back in the summer.
So he’s no stranger to precious cargo, and this flight was another successful journey with our rescue partners @np_forgottenfelinessociety and @katiesplaceshelter
The route took them over the beautiful mountains over B.C, and all the cats arrived safely ready to live their best lives.
Thanks to Walter for stepping up once again, and to both rescue partners for trusting us with these little ones. Another litter saved!
