>During the week of September 12 through the 20th we want those
>participating in pilots n paws to be a part of transports all around
>the country and we have set a lofty goal of transporting 5000
>animals to safety and their forever homes. We are doing this to gain
>local and national media attention about three themes. The first is
>the most important and that is to make the public aware of the dire
>need for spay and neuter programs so we do not have to kill millions
>of animals annually. Secondly we want to make the general public
>aware that general aviation, its pilots and plane owners, make a
>huge contribution to our nation, not only in the furtherance of
>their businesses and personal interests, but for humanitarian
>purposes including the transport of rescue animals. Finally we want
>pilots and plane owners to be aware of the need for animal
>transports so we can greatly increase the ranks of those pilots and
>plane owners so no request for transports goes unanswered.
>
>None of this will happen without strong support and help from
>shelters and rescues and fosters. If a shelter or rescue is from an
>area that has high rates of euthanasia we want that shelter or
>rescue to pencil the week listed above and commit to making an
>animal or multiple animals available to a shelter, rescue or foster
>in an area where these animals can be placed in forever homes. We
>know nobody can predict what animals are going to be available, or
>their size, or even how many during that week in September, but we
>do know there will be animals available. Those sending rescues and
>shelters need to locate their counterparts in areas of the country
>where high kill rates are not the rule, and get them to agree to
>make space available for the animals that will be rescued. Ideally
>the distance between the sending and receiving parties should be 300
>miles (more or less, we pilots have some flexibility) so we can
>avoid having transport relays which are difficult to coordinate.
>
>The sending and receiving pair will then have a pilot or pilots
>volunteer to do that transport during the rescue week. Each team of
>pilot, sending and receiving rescues or shelters will handle their
>own transport details regarding timing, and especially media
>coverage. We want to involve as much local and national media
>attention as possible to make the public aware of the needs.
>
>There are many more details to be worked out and time is rapidly
>winding down so it is critical that we get sending and receiving
>pairs so we can get pilots on board to volunteer to do their part.
