Our first transport partnership with Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary(@woodlandswildlifesanctuary) was a special one - rescuing our very first Sandhill crane!
We received an urgent request about an orphaned crane colt stranded near Saganok Rez, north of Manitoulin Island. These young birds require constant parental care throughout their first year, making this a time-sensitive rescue. The remote location would have meant an extremely long ground transport, putting additional stress on an already vulnerable bird.
Volunteer pilot Kai Salvini(@kai.salvini) and Keirsten immediately mobilized, transforming what would have been an arduous road journey into a swift aerial rescue. The young crane handled the flight remarkably well and has now begun her rehabilitation journey at the sanctuary.
Huge gratitude to Kai and Keirsten for their swift response, Allen from Saganok Rez for the initial rescue efforts, and Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary for taking on this bird`s rehabilitation.

Bento, a sweet rescue kitten, made his journey to Vernon, BC, where he was lovingly welcomed by his new dad, Wayne, right at the airport.
Before takeoff, Bento’s amazing fosters braved the rain to meet our first-time volunteer pilot, @cam_rides_bikes and send him off with lots of love. ☔
Big thanks to Ginger, a longtime @wetnosesrescue volunteer, and @cam_rides_bikes for helping little Bento find his forever home!
Happy new beginnings, Bento! 🐱

Maple, a sweet Golden Retriever made it safely to her foster family in Northern Ontario!
Our pilot Gerd W. flew this sweet golden retriever to her new foster home through @GoldenRescue.
Before the flight, there are a lot of important details to cover such as crate size, how Maple would be secured, and weight to make sure everything would fit properly in the aircraft.
These might sound like small details, but these discussions are crucial for rescues like this.
They`re what keep every animal safe and more importantly comfortable during transport.
Thanks to Gerd for getting Maple there safely, and to Golden Rescue for trusting us with her!

When plans shift, our pilots set the course.
Volunteer pilot @Adriaanse.Rob and his son, Thomas, set out to fly 10 stray cats and kittens from Fort St. John to Victoria, B.C., for our partners @Np_forgottenfelinessociety and @VOKRA.
Each of these lucky felines had new families waiting for their arrival in Victoria.
After a planned fuel stop in Quesnel, tightening weather over the Coast Mountains made the original route unsafe.
Exercising his judgment as pilot in command, Rob made the call to divert to Lillooet. There, he connected with a helpful fellow aviator who lent him a vehicle to drive the cats to Victoria the same day, where they were safely delivered to VOKRA. A local first responder also made quick friends with one of the kittens!
The kindness of animal lovers knows no end. We can’t thank the individuals on the ground in Lillooet enough for helping Rob, Thomas, and almost a dozen cats get where they needed to go.
Pilots are in charge of their transports: they decide when to launch, divert, or stand down.
Rob’s above-and-beyond choice to complete the mission by road was incredibly generous.

Trick or treat!
We asked some of our former rescue passengers to send us their Halloween pics, and they delivered!
Check out these cuties who flew with us to their forever homes:
• Moswa the Bouvier des Flandres looking majestic (photo: Alec Herdy)
• Zara those ears! 😍 (photo: @einsteinandzarathebassets)

Nothing scary about them finding their perfect families! These pups went from needing homes to living their dreams.

Look at this adorable 2-year-old golden retriever having a fresh start!
Our volunteer pilots @kai.salvini and @paul.salvini flew over 800 km to bring him to Simba to his foster family through @GoldenRescue.
Golden retrievers are incredible companions because they`re so loyal, loving, and full of energy. They thrive with daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of time with their people. With a 10-15 year lifespan, they`re a wonderful long-term addition to families who have the time and space to let them shine.
That`s why working with rescues like Golden Rescue is so valuable. They make sure each dog finds the right match as a family.
Thanks to Kai and Paul for making the flight, and to Golden Rescue for their dedication to every dog in their care.

Our golden co-pilot is Bailey, a two-year-old rescue who joined the skies with pilot Maciej (@tangotangomango).
Bailey came to his second chance through Golden Rescue @goldenrescuecanada — one of Canada’s largest and most devoted single-breed rescue groups. Run entirely by volunteers, Golden Rescue has helped thousands of Goldens find safe and happy homes since 1990.
We’re so happy Bailey found his wings and we’re proud to keep working alongside Golden Rescue to help more dogs find theirs. 💛🐶
