Have you heard of Pilots n Paws Canada?   They are a registered, non-profit organization that transport animals in need within Canada!

What a wonderful initiative to transport dogs to new homes!  CaacQ’s first flight passenger leaves this Saturday! Read on:

Montréal, March 1, 2013:   Since 2008 the Companion Animal Adoption Centres of Quebec (caacQ) has transferred homeless abandoned dogs to our partners in Toronto.  In 2012 more than 290 dogs have been sent by ground transport

The absence of low cost spays and neuters clinics (www.sterilisation.ca) in Quebec and the high number of abandoned adoptable dogs creates an overflow of Quebec canines.

The caacQ always seeking innovative and ethical solutions is collaborating with Pilots N Paws Canada (www.pilotsnpawscanada.com) to transfers by plane these wonderful dogs.

Our first flight transfer will take place this Saturday with Lexus a 2 year old black lab mix –  our first passenger.

We would like to thank our partner the Toronto Humane Society (THS) (www.torontohumanesociety.com) who since 2011 has kindly offered to find new homes for these homeless Quebec dogs.

We are reaching out to fellow pilots to sign up with Pilots N Paws Canada to take part in this life saving initiative.

  • Please note weather conditions may alter the flight schedule.
