PILOTS N PAWS & THE DRC

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

LEAVING CALIFORNIA

http://www.pilotsnpaws.org/

The DRC has established a wonderful partnership with Pilots N Paws....They are an organization of volunteer pilots that transport animals in danger and/or need all over the US. Below is our latest rescue doodle Delilah. She was in an animal control facility in CA. Thanks to the efforts of The DRC, the shelter and Pilots N Paws, we were able to get Delilah to our foster in AZ and the very next day she went to her forever home with a wonderful family in New Mexico!....Thank You DRC New England Coordinator, Liz Syring for coordinating the entire rescue, DRC Carolinas Director, Krista Sumlin for arranging Delilah's release from the shelter, DRC Arizona Director, Alison Ruckdashel for meeting the pilot Joe Radford and Delilah in AZ and for fostering her and special thanks to Ridgecrest Animal Control Director Mari Stage for not only releasing Delilah to the DRC but for personally handling all of her vetting and driving her to the airfield for pickup! THANK YOU Pilots N Paws!

Oh I love the pics of Delilah in the cockpit! What a character! That final shot of the plane over the airport sign is also spectacular.

What a great partnership.

This is a joyful tear-jerker. Do you think this pretty girl knew she was on the bigger and better places? I do. :)
The 3rd picture was my screen saver yesterday. It allows me to know that anything is possible.

So folks--this is what others are doing. You don't need you to take in a flea-infested, kennel cough, sick dog in heat to make a difference--You can just join us all in the new Spring voting. Do what you can when you can. Little and small it all makes a difference. Now this is just one of some great stories out there and this one is a doodle! Help all these volunteers out by just clicking your mouse. It is greatly appreciated. We as a Doodle Group can be proud.

Wow. This is wonderful. Delilah looks like she was a natural flyer. This is wonderful.

Isn't it the most amazing story? It's really like something you'd see on TV. These pilots do this voluntarily. They put together these flights all over the country, flying animals from shelters and rescues to fosters and safety. This really is a group who deserves our donation dollars.

I am glad everyone is as thrilled with these pictures and this story, as much as we are.

I spent a while looking at their website and saw that they had rescued another adorable Labradoodle puppy named Kona a while back. They look like an amazing program!
