Another set of volunteers made a world full of difference for Jady. She was pulled from a shelter in Georgia and flew to a temporary foster home in Asheville, NC. How many people does it take to move a dog on a 45 minute flight?

1. Kristen Bell – coordinator
2. Dede Fauconnet – Shelter Puller
3. Ann-Margaret Johnston – Pilot
4. Jean Stafford – Driver to Lee Gilmer Airport in Gainesville, GA
5/6. Dede Wilson and Kara Peterson – Drivers at Asheville, NC Regional Airport
7. Foster – name not provided

Apparently, it takes seven in Jady’s case.

A relevant Quote of the Day come from Dede:  “Do you fly out of Asheville? In addition to working with Tracy, I help a local jack Russell rescue. Occasionally we have a need to get a dog to an adopter out of state. This is my first experience with Pilots n Paws and it was great! I have always heard nothing but wonderful things about the program. My role with the rescue is as facilitator/ logistics. I would love to know what states you cover.”

The answer:  There are caring pilots all over the country willing to help. To see a map of the registered pilot volunteers (this certainly doesn’t cover all of the pilots that help with PnP transports) click here.
