1 man, 1 plane, 1000 Animals Saved We Love You Scott!

Today is a very special day.  Pilot Scott Messinger transported his 1000th, yes, you read that correctly, one thousand animals! 

Scott and his helper!

 

Some people have a calling, not just a mission, and Scott’s calling is to help animals in need whenever possible.  He has flown to every state in the north, northeast, midwest, south, east, southeast and even as far as Texas.  When you live in Pennyslvania that’s a lot of air miles! 

Up you go!

 Because of him, 1000 animals were given the opportunity to find loving homes.  Doggie kisses are worth millions and Scott has a fortune banked in puppy kisses alone 🙂

Dobie pup gave lots of kisses!

He is very modest and will be the first to tell you it is the rescue volunteers who do the hard work, he just flies the animals.  But we all know that if not for Scott, and pilots like him, the number of animals rescues could take in would certainly diminish.

Always a smile !

We love you Scott ! Thank you for your endless passion, your sense of humor, your dedication, and for making so many flights that have now saved 1000 lives. 

The plane says it all 🙂

Here are some “Scottisms”

Big dogs deserve to live too!

Keep finding us dogs (any size) and we’ll keep on truckin’

I’m in !

I hate an empty plane, it’s such a waste of life !

Works for me !

Its a heartwarming (and unfortunately sometimes heartbreaking)
experience flying these dogs to safety.

Very very cool!

I’m absolutely LOVING the response we are getting when we pull into an airport

Sometimes we all forget to give thanks for all our blessings…until we meet those who truly sacrifice…

Every now and then a certain rescue stays with you…This is the one for me.
Forever….

(special thanks to co-pilot Jeff, amazing coordinator Terrie, Scott’s amazing family and the many rescues and shelters who work together to save lives….)
