Pilots To The Rescue

Lights, camera, action! ?? Still can’t believe we teamed up with @sleepnumber? for this incredible commercial! ?? Our founder and one of our dedicated volunteer pilots showcased not just the power of a good night’s sleep, but the passion and dedication behind every rescue mission we embark on. ?? Spreading awareness for overcrowded shelters and the heart-driven purpose of our nonprofit has never felt so surreal! ??? Have you caught our commercial on Roku TV yet? Let us know! As ?@CNN? aptly captured: “When animal rescue pilots Michael and Michaella travel hundreds of miles to rescue animals, they need quality sleep to fly the distance.” - Content by Sleep Number ????

Rain or shine, nothing stops us from saving lives! ????? These animals are always our #1 priority, and today we’re on the final leg of a multi-day rescue mission, transporting 35 cats and kittens from Virginia to one of our amazing shelter partners in Pennsylvania.

?? On the Road Again! ?? Whether we’re in the air ?? or on the ground ??, we’re going full throttle this Giving Season to rescue as many animals as we can! Today, we’re on a 5-stop journey to save 19 dogs and 28 cats and kittens, traveling across multiple states NC – VA – PA – CT – MA to get these precious lives to safety and into loving homes. ???? This mission was made possible thanks to the dedicated teams at our supplying shelters: Caring Hearts for Canines, The Barker Rescue Project, The Humane Society of Dillon County, Bertie County Humane Society, and Paddy’s Friends Kitten Fosters. These amazing organizations worked tirelessly to prepare these animals for their journey. We’re delivering these furry friends to our wonderful receiving partners: Lucky Pups Dog Rescue, DOG STAR RESCUE INC, and New England Puppy Rescue, where they’ll find loving homes just in time for the holiday season. ?? ?? Let’s keep this momentum going! Every rescue takes loads of time, effort, and resources—and we need your help to fuel our missions. Please donate to help us save more lives this Giving Season and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gGZWecvB Thank you for being the wind beneath our wings (and wheels)! ?? #GivingSeason #RescueMission #AdoptDontShop #AnimalRescue #SavingLives #FosterLove #RescueDogs #RescueCats #PilotsToTheRescue #SpreadTheWord #AnimalLovers #DogsOfLinkedIn #Dog

A Mission to Remember! ??? Yesterday’s rescue was a huge success, and we’re still buzzing from the impact we made together with Hartz Mountain Corporation! Among the precious lives we saved were Noel and Holly, two adorable 23-pound yellow lab mixes who desperately need a loving home. Their backstory is heartbreaking: these sweet pups were considered “nuisances” in a mobile home park simply because their owners didn’t care for them or their well-being. ?? Left to roam and fend for themselves, they were eventually picked up by animal control. No one came to claim them—and that’s when we stepped in. ?? ???? Noel and Holly are now safe with our partners at Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter, where they’re waiting for a family to give them a home. Could that be with you? Or someone you know? ?? ?? Please share their story far and wide to help us get these two sweet pups adopted as soon as possible. Let’s make this holiday season the one where they finally feel love and comfort! ?? ?? #AdoptNoelAndHolly #AdoptDontShop #YellowLabLove #RescueMissionSuccess #SavingLives #PilotsToTheRescue #ForeverHome #HartzLovingPaws #DogsOfLinkedIn Michael Schneider
