Liz Blackman is the founder of Help4Pets, a 24/7, nationwide emergency ID system that works like “911” for your pet. Inspired by her own two dogs, Lita and Winchell, Liz created this lifesaving emergency system in 1996. To give you an idea of just how effective this service is at helping pets, Help4Pets was chosen by the Louisiana SPCA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to help pets and their families displaced by the disaster. When the SPCA International launched Operation Baghdad Pups to help American soldiers serving in Iraq safely bring home dogs who they had befriended after their tour of duty ended, Help4Pets was the ID system chosen to keep these pets protected during their long and treacherous journey to their forever home in the U.S.

Meet Michael Schneider, the compassionate founder of 'Pilots To The Rescue '. Since 2014, Michael has been on a mission to save homeless pets, just like these two adorable pups from the Friends of Grenada Animal Shelter in Mississippi. In this collaborative mission with the Bissell Pet Foundation, Michael picked up 10 dogs in Fletcher, North Carolina, and flew them back to our home base of Essex County Airport in northern New Jersey, where the dogs were received by the Broome County Humane Society in Binghamton, New York.

Every year, approximately 920,000 homeless pets (390,000 dogs and 530,000 cats) are euthanized in the United States, primarily because of a lack of space. Pilots To The Rescue coordinates with rescue facilities all over the U.S. to find space for dogs and cats abandoned or returned to animal shelters by their previous owners. By transporting pets to available shelters by air, we put them in a position to quickly find new homes and loving families.

Pilots To The Rescue (PTTR) is a non-profit, volunteer-driven, 501c3 public benefit aviation organization. Our mission is to prevent homeless pets from being euthanized and give them the best possible chance at a better life.

Do you want to help save the lives of dogs and cats all over the United States? Pilots To The Rescue’s work is sustained by the dedication of our incredible donors, partners, and volunteers. We absolutely mean it when we say that every donation - no matter the size - makes a difference in how many lives we can save.
