This 18-month-old chocolate Lab, named Mocha, was found as a stray in Manitoba and needed a way to get to her next stop in Saskatoon.
That`s when Thompson Humane Society reached out to us to help.
Thanks to our volunteer pilot @PaulRick26, who`s been moving animals from northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan for over a decade, for stepping in and flying her there.
Welcome to your next chapter, Mocha 🐶

On this recent transport, volunteer pilot @whysocirrus22t, flew Rico, a beautiful golden, over the mountains to his new home with our partners at @goldenrescuecanada
To safely cross mountainous terrain, Paul used supplemental oxygen during parts of the approximately 1 hour and 20 minute flight. At higher altitudes, oxygen levels decrease, and pilots use oxygen to stay sharp and ensure safe decision-making in the cockpit.
For healthy dogs like Rico, short flights at these cabin altitudes are well tolerated without supplemental oxygen. Careful planning helps ensure every passenger — human and animal — travels safely.
Another rescue fight completed thanks to volunteer pilots who go the extra mile (and altitude) to help animals reach their second chances.
A huge thanks to Paul who is a long-time pilot with Canadian Wings of Rescue. We are so proud to have incredibly dedicated pilots like you to help us help more animals.

POV: you’re a one-year-old golden retriever named Sunny and your private flight to a loving foster home just landed.
Huge thanks to volunteer pilot Dan, his crew, and our friends at @GoldenRescue for helping this very good boy get to his new home in Calgary.
Also, shoutout to Golden Rescue for always showing up for Goldens across Canada and supporting the work we do. This is what happens when animal lovers and pilots team up.
Want to help more dogs like Sunny take flight? Donations help keep these rescue missions in the air.

WHAT`S IN THE CRATE?
Well, it`s an impressive Peregrine falcon transported in 2024.
At Canadian Wings of Rescue, we connect volunteer pilots who believe in public benefit flying with rescues and wildlife organizations who need help moving animals safely — and this was a perfect example.
Originally transported by volunteer pilot @ClayBerndt to our partners at @TheOwlFoundation for specialized care, this incredible bird was ready for her next chapter.
A second volunteer pilot, Gerd W, then helped complete the journey, returning her to her home habitat in Kingston, ON for release back into the wild.
Her release was nothing short of beautiful.
Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth, reaching speeds of over 300 km/h in a dive.
From rescue to rehab to release, we`re proud be part of the ride!

One flight and a special first!
Pilot @Yaseen.Elzoghbi completed his first transport with Canadian Wings of Rescue, alongside Martini on her flight to a second chance.
The ask from our partner, @calgaryanimalrescue was simple, help Martini make it home.
With a friend @dr3amdog joining Yaseen as crew, and now stepping up as a volunteer pilot himself, this is how our community grows.

Sometimes it takes a community to change a life.
Lady, a 2-year-old pitbull, was found wandering alone and taken in by the @KWSPHumaneSociety. Due to provincial regulations around pitbulls in Ontario, they weren’t able to support her long-term so they reached out to @SPCALaurentides.Labelle to see if they could give her a second chance.
That’s where our incredible network stepped in. Our volunteer pilot @Charles.Morin.Charron and crew member @Nasandratra_aina made this life-changing journey possible.
In a journey spanning 1,500+ miles and over 6 hours in the air, Lady made her way to Quebec, where she now has the opportunity to find the loving home she deserves.
This mission was made possible by a passionate community of animal lovers and aviation supporters who came together to help. A special thank you to @Mathieu.Aviation and Vision Pro Performance Air Club, who generously offered an aircraft free of charge for the flight. We can`t thank you enough.
This is what happens when compassion takes flight.

From a long wait to a happy home for this greyhound!
Last December, two stunning greyhounds, Prince and Bailey, made the journey from BC to Alberta in search of a second chance.
We’re so happy to report that, @ncglcanada has shared Bailey, now Rinsewind, has found his forever home.
This is exactly why we do what we do.
A huge thank you to our volunteer pilot, @Dr.Campbell.Vet.Dentist, and the dedicated team behind the scenes who helped make this journey possible.
NCGL shares that Rinsewind is settling in beautifully: curious about everything, incredibly gentle, and very treat-motivated. Walks are quickly becoming his favourite part of the day, and he’s decided blankets aren’t just allowed on the couch, they’re his throne.
Stories like this are only possible because of the fosters, rescue partners, and volunteers, including pilots like Robert, who give their time, skills, and resources to help animals get the second chances they deserve.

Around here, we often say that you can get anywhere in a small plane if you can sit long enough.
That was definitely the case for our most recent transport!
Volunteer pilot, Archie, flew thousands of kilometres over two days, crossing three provinces to get Miley, Niamh, and Lily one step closer to their future homes.
The journey took them from Passion4Paws Rescue to @CalgaryAnimalRescue Society, where they’ll have the chance to find the loving families they deserve.
A huge thank you to our partners at @BrandonFlightCentre and @YBWTower for their support. And a huge thank you to the foster families who cared for them along the way.
Finally, shoutout to Archie, a veteran volunteer pilot who has flown dogs all across Western Canada, for making this flight possible.
