NBC aired a piece on Friday night about an organization called Pilots 'N Paws, a volunteer organization that links up GA pilots, animals in shelters looking for a new home who are in danger of euthanization, and people willing to foster or adopt these animals. Here is their website:
http://pilotsnpaws.org/
We have rescued several dogs, mostly originating in the Southern US, who were transported in crates on horse trailers by volunteers who shuttle them up the East Coast making several stops along the way. My chocolate lab Cleco was found in a dump in Marion AR and would have been euthanized if not for this organization. Pilots N Paws appears to be a similar initiative, except the animals get to fly First Class
Think of the benefits: you fly more, help save some animals, and are a hero to your wife and friends (you even feel good about doing it). The animals are happy to be in a new home where they are well cared for. The people adopting are happy because they were able to rescue an animal and get to enjoy their pet. But perhaps most important to this group is the positive image volunteering for this organization would give General Aviation. We all know that anything we can do to help GA's image in the press these days is a very good thing indeed!
