What a beautiful weekend!  Triple Tree was the perfect setting for our first Pilots N Paws flyin with wonderful weather,  pilots and planes from around the country , rescue animals arriving and departing, great companionship, delicious food, fun entertainment,  let’s do it again!  

  A special thank you to the South Carolina Breakfast Club for sharing their day with us and to Pat Hartness, owner of Triple Tree and Pat Derrick corporate pilot designated captain in charge , for allowing the Pilots N Paws members to enjoy their fabulous facility.

  Pictures say it best and we look forward to doing this again in the future.  This was southern hospitality at it’s finest! Wish you all could have joined us!  The highlight was the animals who were helped and flown to or from the event on their way to new and happy lives. 

 

Pilot Jim Tarkington and his co-pilot transported the corgi twins, Rascal and Buddy, on their last leg of their journey. Special thanks to the rescues involved and to Alysen for keeping these pups overnight!

Pilots Andre and Hans load the 7 pups headed north with the help of a much appreciated Anderson, SC shelter volunteer! 

Jay Faires might be young, but he  has talent way beyond his years!  Just ask anyone who was fortunate enough to listen to his concert Saturday night!  Remember his name, you will hear it in the future we have no doubt!  Thank you Jay, Debbie and Eric!

Pilot Art Dreyer, his wife and granddaughter flew Lizzie, the mini bull terrier,  from Florida to meet up with her second pilot Mike for the last leg of her journey to Ohio!

Pilot Sam Taylor flew all the way from Kansas city with a beautiful pup on board named Daisy. Her owner greeted her with kisses and a new life.  Sam didn’t return to KC empty handed, he transported little chi “Windy” to her loving family. 

Pilot John Lee and Pilot Ron flew this blind basset pup safely to rescue. 

Pilot Dick and Vicki Sipp didn’t leave with their plane empty. “Ginger” was given a first class ride to Michigan!~

 

Pilot Fred and his wife Bethany returned north with two pups headed to rescue from Greenville, SC. 

Pilots Rhonda Miles and husband Bob flew Diesel in from Knoxville to meet Sue with Distinquished Doberman Rescue!

Because of caring sponsors Subaru of America and Petmate, Pilots N Paws continues to grow in a positive direction and help innocent animals in need across the country. Thanks for being our proud partners!

This truly was a testiment to the passion of all the volunteers who contribute daily to lend their hands to the paws of animals who need a chance.  Thanks to all of you for your continued support!
