On July 10th, 2010, Pilots N Paws was extremely honored to be the recipient of one of two awards that Broadway Barks presents to organizations who have made a difference in rescue animal work.  This is their 12th year of this outstanding program started by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore.  Numerous broadway stars participated in this years event held at Shubert’s Alley and we are happy to report that many dogs and cats found loving new homes during the adoptathon.  Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, along with others, are extremely dedicated to creating change for animals in need.  We thank them for acknowledging our contribution towards that same goal.  Here are just a few of the photos showcasing this incredible day. A special thank you to the Mayor’s Alliance of NYC for Animals for being our host and for all you do daily for animals in need.

Pilot Wayne took Phoebe to  Wadesboro, NC where she made a connecting flight in the afternoon with  Pilot Jon, his son and Pilot Andrew and they took her on to Roanoke  VA.

It took a little coordination especially after the flight had to  be cancelled on Friday due to weather and rescheduled. I was so  excited when they all said they would be willing to make it happen on  July 4th!!! Animal Control said Phoebe was such a sweetie they would  do anything to make it happen!

Sent to us from rescue volunteer extraordinaire, Sally Gotautus:
“Finally made a lil montage/video of the PnP (Pilot’ N Paws) flights that I’ve been responsible for setting up thruout the last yr +.  Amazing to see how many dogs have been saved…yet so many haven’t  + there are so many more   :(
 
It’s awesome & heartwarming to see what CAN be accomplished when people w/ the same mission SHARE their spirit.  One person ALONE could NOT do this!!

Another wonderful group of greyhounds are now in the loving hands of Suzanne, Jane, Michael and the crew in Ohio! Special, special thanks to Brigitte, and all the crew in Florida for making this possible!

First, Uranus and Apple Pie hopped a ride to the airport to meet Apple Pie’s mom- Mama Running board- in Sarasota. After reunion of mom and daughter (see first two photos), all three flew and landed in northern Florida (see next two photos), where Uranus will await his new family. Since there were thus some empty seats on the plane, Mama Sahara and Coin hopped on while Mama Running board and Apple Pie continued, determined to see what being a Buckeye means.
After looking at all 4 gals (all fawn in color), then at me- Mike declared this to be the flight of the blondes!!!

We initially allowed all 4 gals to choose their own seats on the flight. But when Apple Pie decided to sit ON TOP of another passenger (see photo 5), we had to insist on assigned seats!! Mama Running board decided to laugh it up with Mama Sahara on the way (see photo 6 ), and then Mama Running board flew the plane herself for a while (see photo 7).

We all touched down in Cincinnati, where a wonderful group of loving folks welcomed us into their arms to start a new wonderful life!!!!!!- Four beautiful blond girls girls, including Mama Running board, who spent her first couple of weeks in our home, and permanently in our hearts!

Looking forward to many more!!!

Janine

Their rescue destination was Melbourne, FL on the east coast of Florida. I then flew over to Tampa, on the west coast, where I was to meet up with Jason, a pilot from Georgia, who was bringing me 4 dogs. Unfortunately, Jason developed a flat tire on his nosewheel on taxi from Americus, GA. Jason arrived in St. Petersburg at 7pm with his wife Amy (they were spending their anniversary flying dogs and partying in St Pete).

I ended up flying all 4 dogs to the Florida Keys where we arrived around 9:30pm and fostered them until the next day. I had to go to Miami on Friday for a meeting, so I drove 3 of the dogs north and met up with Pati from the Dalmation Rescue and transferred the dogs. I adopted the 4th dog, a great little female black lab.

I got a little flying in on a beautiful night with a full moon!! It was a long day but 11 dogs were saved, winds were calm and even with the glitches it was still a great day/night to be in the air.

You are the most awesome man, to make this trip, travel through bad weather, just to help Cricket. I will never forget you and your commitment to helping animals get to safe places.
I was very worried when I saw the storm on the radar, and prayed for a safe trip for you. I can tell you really love animals and are compassionate about helping all.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This video was lovingly put together by Liz Bonderak, a volunteer with National German Shorthair Pointer rescue.  Liz always goes beyond the limits to help these pups and as you will see by the list of pilots who have volunteered, the pilots go beyond as well!  Here are just a few of the pilots involved in helping with the transports Liz arranges.  Thank you all and Liz,  this video clearly shows the difference everyone is making when they choose to help or adopt a rescue animal!
