Pups Fly To Brighter Future Thanks to Pilots N Paws!!
J and J's Homeless Pet Rescue participated in the PNP5000 this week. We sent 9 border collie mix pups and 1 Newfoundland 10 week old puppy to Syracuse, NY on Monday. All of the puppies came from local animal control in Beaufort County. This is the 4th flight out of Warren Field in Washington headed to rescues north for J and J. Our volunteer pilot had a really long day and didn't arrive home until midnight. The PNP program hopes to fly 5,000 animals to safety this week. See their website for more information and how you can participate: www.pilotsnpaws.org
One of our volunteers Don Hicks helped us to get the pups on the plane for us. He wrote the story below and took the pictures for us.
Here are photos from the airport. Jack Trimmer is the nice looking guy walking the large puppy as well as watering the pack. Pilot is John Greco and Ashley Norris his copilot, they are really nice people from near Pittsburgh. Ashley was being charmed by one of the female puppies... no one is betting it gets to stay in ny... might become a pack mate of her other two grown dogs. The flight departed for New York at 5:30 pm... expecting 3 hours of flying time... then another hour and a half back home. The pack took a final nap in the NC soil before taking off for the land of snow and cool summers. The big guy did lots of posing for photos and told us he would sleep on the plane. These pups are going to make 10 families very happy... they have lots of personality!
