Veterinary dentist by day, Pilot on weekends & Hero to animals!

At Canadian Wings of Rescue, we’re deeply grateful for the dedication and compassion of our network of volunteer pilots. These incredible individuals use their skills and aircraft to rescue injured, abused, and displaced animals, providing them with a chance at a better life. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on one of our standout volunteers, Dr. Robert Campbell, who has been a part of our mission for the past year.

Dr. Robert Campbell in action.

 

Robert is not just any pilot—he’s a multifaceted hero. Based in Calgary, Alberta, with CYBW (also known as Springbank) as his home airport, Robert combines his flying expertise with his profession as a veterinary dentist & oral surgeon. His unique skill set is a perfect match for our organization, as he brings a deep understanding of animal care to every rescue mission he undertakes. Robert’s dual roles underscore his commitment to animal welfare, making him an invaluable asset to our team.

One of Robert’s favorite routes is from Springbank, Calgary (CYBW) to Campbell River, BC (CYBL). He relishes the breathtaking views of mountains and ocean, which he describes as “spectacular every single time.” This enthusiasm for flying mirrors his passion for helping animals, as each flight brings hope and healing to those in need.

Robert has volunteered to fly a husky pup, kittens, basset hound in his spare time and we’re so grateful to call him a member of the CWoR team.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Robert and all our dedicated volunteer pilots who make our mission possible. Their passion and commitment are essential to rescuing and caring for countless animals.

We invite you to join us in supporting these extraordinary efforts. You donations can help us offset the costs our volunteer pilots incur, provide food and safe transport carriers for animals and so much more. Together, we can ensure that every animal gets the chance they deserve.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

We can’t do this without volunteers and supporters like you. Thank you for being part of the journey.

What part should we show more of in these Flight Reports: planning, safety checks, or the handoffs?

Last summer, Max and Maple flew with Canadian Wings of Rescue from their foster home, moving one step closer to the forever families waiting for them. Their story is one of many. Canadian Wings of Rescue is 100% volunteer-run, and we rely entirely on community donations to cover any costs incurred during to make a transport happen. Our pilots give their time. You give what makes the rescues possible. 

Max and Maple made it because our community showed up. There are more animals waiting for their chance right now. Will you help us get them there? Every dollar funds the journey. Every journey saves a life. Donate today (link in bio).

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.
