Success Story

It was love at first sight for this newly bonded pair. Baxter was a perfect match for Susan and he obviously thought the same when we brought them together for their first meet and greet. After losing her boy Pepe a few months ago Susan wanted to find a new companion with a similar look, breed and personality as Pepe. Baxter ran straight to her with licks and wags abundant as if to say "I choose you too" It was a heartwarming happy-tears moment for all of us.
We know we can never replace your lost love but we can help you heal and open a new chapter of love and companionship...and save a shelter or rescue dog in the process! Thank you for wanting to adopt rather than buying from a breeder. You are part of the solution to this overpopulation crisis!

MEET BAXTER
Pilots and Pups and Little Big Paws Pet Rescue joined forces to pull this wonderful pup from the day's kill list at the Stanislaus Shelter.
We picked him up in Modesto and flew him to his foster mom in Woodland.
This boy is sweet, calm, lap loving, potty trained, mellow with a bit of spunk, leash trained...an wonderful pup overall. He was great on the plane and just chilled out in our handler's lap for the whole (bumpy) flight. He was very respectful at the dinner table too while we took some time for lunch.
It will be one lucky person that gets to bring this boy home! Contact Big Little Paws Pet Rescue for adoption information.
UPDATE! Baxter is adopted and living the good life with his new mom Susan!

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide air transport to animals out of overcrowded shelters, hoarding and neglect situations, dogfighting rings, natural disasters and other dangerous and abusive environments.
"THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND IT'S MORAL PROGRESS CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY IT TREATS ITS ANIMALS." MAHANDAS GANDHI
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that dogs are our responsibility as human beings.
Our ancestors domesticated them over 14,000 years ago and they have been our loving and faithful allies ever since.
Saving one dog will not change the world, but that dog's world will change forever.
We think that dogs (and other animals) in homeless or low-income families deserve proper medical care and nutrition. Just because their humans are in a difficult financial position shouldn't mean they have to endure the pain of an illness, infection or injury nor face poor health due to lack of healthy food or malnutrition. Our goal is to extend our help to all animals in need, even beyond the air-transport.

Adopt one dog,
change two lives.
When you see someone a year or so down the road after they adopted a rescue dog you may be inclined to say "What a lucky dog that is to have found you". More often than not the reply you'll hear is "Actually, I'm the lucky one". There is nothing more beautiful than the bond between a rescue animal and his human. Some say rescue pets just know what you did for them and are forever grateful. Whatever the case, you can be sure they remember what life was like before you came along and the love they will give is unequaled and unconditional.
It's true. True love changes everything.
