Last month, the ASPCA seized more then 40 dogs during an animal fighting investigation in Virginia. #35 was one of those dogs…..After medical care and testing, this lucky girl is now named “Hallie” and she is safely with Animal Farm Foundation in NY and on her way to a loving family.

Hallies smiling face!

It took two Pilots N Paws pilots working together to fly Hallie from harms way to safety. Pilot Nick O’Connel and co-pilot O’Neil Jones took the first leg from Virginia.

Pilot Bruce Cohen and co-pilot Adam Jackon were waiting to accept their very special passenger and take her on the final leg of her journey. Just seeing Hallie’s smiling grin and her joy for life was all these dedicated pilots needed to know to volunteer to fly her to safety.

Finally She's Arrived!

Special thanks to the ASPCA all law enforcement agencies involved and the Animal control officers for investigating and ending the suffering of these dogs. Thanks to the efforts of local law enforcement, the 41 dogs recovered will have a chance to live out happier lives.

Grateful appreciation to the rescue groups accepting the dogs who so needed their loving care and to the local shelter for providing temporary care. We look forward to watching Hallie shine!

She has arrived and is cute as can be! Thank you all for bringing her to us! In April 2011 the ASPCA and the Halifax County Animal Control seized more than 40 dogs during an animal fighting investigation in Virginia. With transportation help from Pilots N Paws, Animal Farm took one of these victims of cruelty into our care yesterday. Check out this video of her journey!

I'm Ready!

Scott is a dedicated volunteer pilot with Pilots N Paws. He has flown countless missions saving planeloads of dogs and giving each one the opportunity to find loving homes. Scott’s friends at Beyond 1 Films created this video showing just a few of the animals Scott and his co-pilots have flown to safe havens. It really is a “wonderful world for the animals” who are fortunate to have rescues and pilots who care……

“Pilots N Paws was honored to be featured in a National TV Special, “Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart.” The special continues to be aired across the country and the response has been extremely heartwarming! A very special thank you to pilot John Quimby, his family and son co-pilot Ethan, Tri-State Collie Rescue and Hallie and her family for opening their home and hearts to adopt beautiful “Jenny.”

We would like to acknowledge Kroger and Purina for their support of this filming and of Pilots N Paws. The vision of Jim Friedman and Addie Rosenthal with Blind Squirrel Productions clearly portrayed what volunteers with Pilots N Paws and rescues do every day to make a difference. Enjoy the film!
