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.

Just a year ago, an adorable mixed malamute by the name of Poplar from northern Saskatchewan was rescued along with 6 other pups in search of their forever home. Now going by Finley, look at him all grown up while keeping that big smile on his face!

Finley found his perfect adopted match with Dani, and we couldn`t be more thankful that he`s living his best life as happy as ever - whether he was a small pup then or the big expressive boy he is now! 🐾

In our latest blog post, go behind the scenes of a real Canadian Wings of Rescue flight and see what it takes to make these transports happen.

SPOILER ALERT: It takes a huge group of passionate people who prioritize respecting, supporting, and caring for animals.

In this story, you`ll follow the journey of two golden retrievers, Max and Maple from @goldenrescuecanada, as they fly toward their chance at forever homes.

From flight planning to navigating tricky weather conditions (and managing two non-stop wagging tails), it’s all in a day’s work for our volunteers.

Golden smiles, golden hearts and one exciting journey!

After a stay with a loving foster family in northern Ontario, these golden retriever pups, Max and Maple, were ready for their next step toward adoption.

When @GoldenRescueCanada reached out to us, we did what we always do: put the call out to our network of volunteer pilots.

That`s when pilot @Kai.Salvini. stepped up to get these two safely to southern Ontario, where we`re certain, a bright future awaits. Kai monitored challenging weather over several days until conditions were safe for lift off!

This is rescue in motion. And it only happens thanks to the dedication of fosters, volunteers, pilots, and donors who come together for animals like Max and Maple.

We’re grateful to every one of our volunteer pilots, past and present, who make lifesaving animal transports possible.

Animals like Zara, a rescued basset hound, got a second chance thanks to pilots like @dr.campbell.vet.dentist, who donate their time and skills to help animals in need.

While our pilots volunteer their aircraft and time, transports may still come with costs, due to things like unexpected weather delays or landing fees. Your donations help keep dogs, cats, owls, falcons, and even a wolf (really!) safely in the air with Canadian Wings of Rescue.

If you’d like to support the animals, and the volunteers who go the distance for them, click the link in our bio to donate! ✈️

When an injured bald eagle needed urgent help, volunteers stepped up, and fast.

From Thunder Bay to Southern Ontario, this rescue transport was a powerful display of compassion, coordination, and care. It took a late-night landing, an overnight foster and a team of volunteers united by one mission: care.
