Jimmy is safe ❤️

We’re happy to say that after a long journey, Jimmy arrived safely in Southern Ontario following a long day of flying with Captain Dave.

Jimmy’s family had to make the difficult decision to leave him behind as they relocated. We were contacted on short notice to lend a hand and get Jimmy to the Southern Ontario Sheltie Rescue ASAP. Captain Dave and his co-pilot Ehsan stepped up, flying 15 hours straight to make this rescue mission happen. During the flight, he seemed pretty heartbroken and overwhelmed — didn’t want to eat or drink — but he was a perfect passenger the whole way.
Jimmy is now safe in Southern Ontario, with access to the care he needs and a foster home while he waits for his forever family.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this happen, thanks to your generosity any many generous donors, we raised the fuel money for this flight in a day and a half! It was truly amazing to see your support. Thank you so much, from us at Pilots4Paws and from Jimmy. ❤️

Tomorrow (Wednesday, August 13) from 5–7:30 PM, we’ll be at St. Thomas Municipal Airport (CYQS) with our friends at COPA 75 for a fundraising BBQ in support of Pilots4Paws.

I’ll be at the grill, serving up dinner while we raise funds to help fly dogs in need from Northern Ontario to the care and homes they deserve.

Huge thanks to COPA 75 for having us — there will be a ton of airplanes on the field, so flying in is encouraged!

Come for the food, enjoy the planes, and help us make a difference for pups who need a lift to a better life. See you there! 🐾✈️
