Thank you pilots Bill Branch and John Rendall for flying the first leg Riverside, CA to Bakersfield, CA, and  Maurice Gunderson and Gary Palmer for flying the second legs: Bakersfield, CA to Carson City, CA to Lodi, CA. This wonderful gift of a Pilots N Paws flight definitely saved the lives of Dizzy, special needs cat and 4 very sweet Chihuahuas. Each of these little animals were at risk of euthanasia.

Dizzy cat was found in a yard In Bakersfield, CA.  The People were feeding her and noticed her ” bobble head ” likely a neurological issue cerebellar Hypoplasia. Thankfully Lana the director of Give Me Shelter Cat Rescue, San Francisco agreed to take Dizzy and find her a furrever home.

The chihuahuas saved were Gi Gi and Taco both pulled to freedom from high kill shelters in Southern California and also saved were Ava ( 11 yrs ) and Ruby (4 yrs ) who were prevented from being surrendered to a high kill shelter
(guardian has severe health issues) thanks to Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows, Reno. Thank you Pamela Wangsness  for taking these 4 chihuahuas into their rescue and promising to find them homes.  Your gift of flight enables these rescues to reach out and save lives. Continuing to reach out and rescue from locations 350 -400 miles away, would not be possible if they had to incur transport expense.

Thank you for this gift of flight.
These flights save lives.
