In a country as vast and diverse as Canada, where communities are separated by rugged terrain, remote distances, and extreme weather, the act of rescue becomes far more than just transportation—it becomes a lifeline. At Canadian Wings of Rescue (CWoR), we believe every animal deserves a...

Ever wondered how some animals find their way across Canada to shelters, loving homes, or specialized care? The answer: they fly with Canadian Wings of Rescue.

What an incredible journey! Remember the bald eagle we rescued from Moosonee last month? After weeks of dedicated rehabilitation at @theowlfoundation, this magnificent bird was ready to return home!
Why "home" matters: Birds of prey must be released back to their original territories where they know the landscape, food sources, and can integrate with local populations. Releasing them elsewhere disrupts ecosystems and reduces their survival chances.
Earlier this month, volunteer pilot @tangotangomango donated his aircraft, fuel, and time to fly over 1,000 km from Burlington back to Moosonee - completing this rescue`s full circle!

Hank & Cash are two sweet pups whose journey with Canadian Wings of Rescue spanned almost 1,400 kms, two pilots, and three provinces!
Their second chances started in Manitoba, where the team at @a_tail_to_tell rescue reached out to us with a request for help: their shelter needed to free up space by moving Hank & Cash to another rescue, @dmrs.lowermainlandhumane.
We activated our team—just like we do for every rescue request—by calling on our network of volunteer pilots.
@cessna_ag_pilot95 volunteered to fly the first leg where she met Walter C. in Calgary for a hand-off.
From there, Walter took the pups the rest of the way to Boundary Bay Airport, where @dmrs.lowermainlandhumane was waiting to receive them.
Thanks to these two amazing pilots, Hank & Cash travelled safely to a new chapter where we hope they find their forever homes soon.

Foster families generously give their love, time and resources to the animals they support.
Many rescue pets spend time in more than one foster home before they find the place that’s truly forever. That was the case for Josie, a 7 month-old shepherd mix, rescued as a stray.
Thanks to our amazing rescue partner @wetnosesrescue and volunteer pilot @whysocirrus22t , who brought his family along for the ride, Josie flew from Boundary Bay, BC to Cranbrook to meet her new foster family ❤️
But Josie didn’t have to wait long, she’s already been adopted and we couldn`t be happier for her.
Thank you to everyone who made Josie’s journey to her happy ending possible.

Meet Rosie and her amazing rescue crew!
This beautiful 65lb Golden Retriever just got her second chance thanks to some incredible humans! Our volunteer pilot @hermanojonomono completed his SECOND rescue flight with us (we love our repeat heroes!), and this time he brought along his crewmate Esther to help with the mission!
Rosie flew across beautiful BC and is now safe with a temporary foster family while she waits for her forever home.
Massive thanks to our rescue partner @goldenrescuecanada for coordinating this rescue and to Jonathan and Esther for taking Rosie one step closer to her forever home.

🐾✈️ Luna`s incredible rescue journey across Canada! ✈️🐾
When Luna`s owner couldn`t provide the specialized care this gorgeous hairless girl needed, something magical happened - an entire community stepped up! ❤️
Father-son pilots @Paul.Salvini and @Kai.salvini flew Luna from Windsor, fostered her overnight, then continued to Winnipeg. Another amazing individual, Kia, fostered Luna until volunteer pilot @Georgegavrailoff completed the final leg to Saskatoon. This multi-day relay of love involved SO many incredible people who came together for this gorgeous girl!
Huge thanks to our rescue partner @PrairiesSphynxRescue and @flyfastair for making this possible.

Meet Moose, or as he’s affectionately known by his new owners, “Moswa,” meaning Cree for moose.
This 80 lb Bouvier des Flandres recently took a journey from the Montreal area to Northern Ontario thanks to pilot Jim.Hanna, his partner Carole, and Bouvier Rescuers of Ontario.
After being surrendered by his previous owner, Bouvier Rescuers of Ontario worked to find a new home for Moose. And a home Moose found.
Alec and his family, residents of Elliot Lake, ON, were ready to welcome an addition to their home. Owners of two Bouvier dogs already, Gracie and Jack, Alec says that Moswa is the perfect fit for their Bouvier-loving family. After a grooming appointment with a lot of TLC, Moose is looking like a new dog (swipe to see the transformation!).
Bouvier des Flandres are a Belgian herding breed known for their loyalty, intelligence, and big hearts. They’ve been working alongside people for centuries, and today often serve as trusted service dogs and companions.
Stories like Moose’s don’t happen without the hard work and dedication of our pilots and volunteers behind the scenes like, @Bailey.Fenton.5294 who manage so many logistics.
We can’t wait to hear how Moose continues to thrive. Photo credit: Alec Herdy.
