This Saturday (9/19) ten Lucky Dogs had the flight of their lives. Three generous private pilots, members of the Pilots N Paws program, flew them from shelters in three South Carolina counties (Pickens, Newberry, and Greenville) to find their forever homes in the DC area. Lucky Dog was able to arrange these flights as part of Pilots N Paws 5000 — a first-ever attempt to move 5,000 homeless animals out of shelters in a single week.
According to the National Council on Pet Population, 9.6 million shelter animals are needlessly euthanized each year. Lucky Dog volunteers make it possible to rescue over 100 dogs every month by fostering, conducting screening interviews, vet reference checks and home visits, putting on adoption events, and raising the funds needed get them out of shelters and provide them with lifesaving medical care.
Lucky Dog is thrilled to partner with Pilots N Paws in this effort — not only to save these ten Lucky Dogs, but to help increase awareness about different ways people can help animals in need, whether it’s by providing air transportation, becoming a foster home or general volunteering.
