Save the Paws!
Hi friends!
I'm participating in the Pilots n' Paws " Operation Special Delivery" - a massive east coast animal rescue that starts on October 5th 2013. This huge event will save hundreds of lonely abandoned animals from being unmercifully killed in overcrowded shelters. Best of all, these critters will also get forever homes with people who want to care for these helpless loving creatures.
Many of these dogs will go on to be trained as service and comfort dogs for veterans with PTSD and other special needs through the Paws of War program.
The big event is coming up soon, October 5th 2013. It starts at Wright Army Airport in Hinesville Georgia and ends at locations all over the east coast from West Palm Beach Florida to PA, NJ and points north.
For those of you who know Kathy and I, you know we happily donate our time and money to animal charities, and we fly for Pilots n' Paws as often as we can. PnP is a coordinated effort of private pilots, like myself, that plan and work together to move hurt, lost, or death row dogs long distances to forever homes or to no-kill shelters. We and the hundreds of other pilots do this for free, absorbing the costs of the plane, fuel and time. We do this happily and willingly because we care.
To give you some perspective, the cost of renting a plane can be as high as $350 per hour for a twin engine aircraft and we typically fly missions that take about three hours. This event will take some pilots 10-12 hours to do.. but the benefits to these animals will be priceless.
Would you like to help a great cause?
Thanks for anything you can contribute. We've set up a donation page and all of the collected money will go to Pilots n' Paws events. With a little extra help from you, we can make a big impact in just one day.
Thanks!
Dave and Kathy
