Name of Sending Rescue/Parties Foothills Humane Society Dana Myers [email protected] and Debi Boies of Pilots N Paws [email protected]
Name of Receiving Rescue/Parties: Kate Hood
Contact information (publicly viewable on forum): Debi Boies [email protected]
Are you a 501c3: Yes
Additional Info/situation: Please meet Rupert! He was supposed to fly to a rescue group in Chicago during our PNP Dog is My Copilot flyway but due to weather, the second pilot could not make it in. That left us with one plane that managed to get 22 animals on board but sadly, there was no room left for Rupert. Rupert literally stole everyone's heart at the flyway and we were sad that he was not able to make his connection. However, he was showing some stiffness behind so his foster Mom wanted to have him checked out. She did and he is fine, he was just sore from being cramped in a crate on the way to the airport. Meanwhile, one of our board members found the perfect adoptive family for Rupert! We had two very kind pilots who said " no problem, we will fly him next weekend" but that is when the cold front hit and squelched those plans. There is also a conflict with work schedules between the two pilots so we decided to reach out and see if any other pilots would be available to work together to get this senior boy his new home? We hope so. Please send us an email if you can help us out, we don't want any dog left behind from our Flyway!

Thank you for your kind offer. This would mean we need to fill two more legs, the first and last.

KJQF to KFVX (or airports of choice) NEEDED (161 nm)
KVFX to KMTN FILLED
KMTN to KBAF (or airport of choice) NEEDED (239 nm)

Farmville is FVX not VFX. Also, my ETA at MTN is about two hours after the pilot that is bringing the dog into FVX arrives. I am available all day so waiting to hear from a pilot flying into FVX. Once that is coordinated I will advise.

Sorry, typing to fast, FVX for farmville. As this stands today, we have the second and third legs filled for Saturday Sept.20, weather determining factor, and are looking for a pilot to fill the first leg from Concord, NC to Farmville, VA? Just making sure we are all on the same page.

Thank you
Debi

Evidently I cannot even type from a written paper in front of me, sorry, only excuse is overworked and tired! I do have BAF written down..argh, sorry, normally much more effiecient about double checking the codes!

So here goes once again and hopefully correctly this time, please feel free to proof and airports are ONLY suggestions, it's pilots choice for each leg.....

KJQF to KFVX NEEDED ?? (Concord Regional to Farmville)
KFVX to KMTN FILLED by Kevin (Farmville Regional to Poughkeepsie)
KMTN to KPOU FILLED by Dean
