Over the weekend, Pilots to the Rescue embarked on another life-changing rescue mission, saving 32 cats in dire need of love and care. Each with a unique tale of resilience and hope.
🐱 Sherman and Willow’s Race Against Time: Their story began in an apartment, where their owners faced the heart-wrenching threat of eviction. In their care were a mother cat and her three little kittens. With the local shelter at capacity, they reached out to the Wise County Humane Society, marking the start of a hopeful journey for these five souls.
🐈 A Home Full of Heart, Now Full of Hope: Loretta, Sweetie, Luna, Daisy, Sky, Baby, and Alex’s tale is one of unexpected turns. Their owner, facing eviction for taking in a pregnant stray, found herself in a dire situation as the little family grew. With the shelter unable to take more intakes, Wise County Humane Society stepped in to help.
📦 AJ’s Box of Hope: AJ’s life began in a box at a construction site. Tiny, vulnerable, but full of spirit, he was discovered and brought into the caring arms of the rescue, ready for a new chapter.
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone involved in this mission, especially PTTR’s road warrriors Albert & Adrian, and the Wise County Humane Society for their unwavering dedication. Let’s celebrate these small victories, for they pave the way to greater triumphs in animal rescue.
As we share these tales, we invite you to join us in our ongoing mission. Your support, whether through donations, sharing our stories, or volunteering, helps us create more happy endings.
Here’s to the heroes, both human and feline, of this weekend’s mission – you make the world a better place. 🙏

Triumph on Three Paws: Meeko’s Miraculous Journey 🐾✈️
We’re overjoyed to share an another rescue mission success story - a true testament to what happens when compassion and action collide.
Meet Meeko, the adorable tri-paw Bluetick Coonhound, who found himself on the euthanasia list at Lancaster County Animal Shelter in SC. His story could have ended there, but fate, and a few kind hearts, had other plans. 🌟
Enter Big Dog Ranch Rescue from Florida - a haven for dogs, and the largest cage-free, no-kill dog rescue in the US. With over 100 cage-free bunk rooms, it’s a paradise for pups like Meeko, offering a second chance at life. And guess who’s been there? None other than @mrbeast who held an adoption event at this very rescue! Check out their incredible facility and the work they do: @bigdogranchrescue
🛩️ The hero of our story, volunteer pilot Ken Bickel, flew from Lancaster, SC, to Palm Beach County Airport on Tuesday 1/30, bridging the gap between despair and hope for Meeko. The heartwarming handoff at the airport, captured in our photos, marks the beginning of Meeko’s new chapter.
We’re in awe of the dedication shown by everyone involved in Meeko’s rescue, from the shelter volunteers to Ken, and the team at Big Dog Ranch Rescue. Each of them played a pivotal role in rewriting Meeko’s destiny.
This is what our self-service transport board is all about – connecting those who need help with those who can offer it. Meeko’s journey from a shelter in South Carolina to a loving rescue in Florida is a beautiful example of the power of community.

Let’s rally behind Meeko as he awaits his forever family in the nurturing care of Big Dog Ranch Rescue. Share his story, spread the word, and let’s keep creating happy tales & tails for more like him. 🐶

Paws Across Miles: A Two-Day Rescue Mission 🚗🐾
Since yesterday, PTTR’s devoted driver Albert has been on a heartfelt mission with It Takes A Village Rescue, navigating the roads from Southern Pines, NC to Farmington, CT. His precious cargo? 16 cats, 2 Chiwawa puppies, and 6 additional puppies - each one a bundle of hope and potential.
Today, as Albert meets with Nancy from Cape Ann Animal Aid, we’re reminded of the incredible journey each of these animals has made. From uncertain beginnings to a future filled with love and care, these little ones are on the road to a new life.
Every mile driven is a step closer to safety and love for these 24 furry souls.
📣 How can you help?
- 💖 Donate: Your support fuels more life-saving missions like this one. Every contribution makes a difference.
- 🔄 Share: Spread the word! The more people know about our missions, the greater the impact we can make.
- 🐾 Volunteer or Adopt: Get involved directly and be a part of an animal’s journey to a forever home, or contact our shelter partners, if you are able to foster or adopt.

🌟 Mission Success: Pixie’s Journey to a New Beginning! 🐾✈️
This past Saturday January 20th, we witnessed an incredible tale of rescue and hope. Pixie, a young Shih Tzu, faced the unimaginable - losing her entire litter, including undergoing a c-section that revealed her puppies had not survived. 😢 Living in the shelter, Pixie yearned for comfort and love, a solace after her painful loss.
Enter the heroes of this story: Carly Minnis and her son Benji, from The Minnis Sanctuary in Maine, stepped forward to give Pixie the life she deserves. Their non-profit sanctuary is a haven where animals find peace and the care they need.
The journey from the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Long Island to Maine was made possible by the incredible Jenna Rouillard, a volunteer pilot with a big heart. Jenna @planeslovejesus, flew down to Long Island, ensuring Pixie’s safe passage to her new home.

🕊️💔 With a heavy heart, we share the tragic news of the passing of one of our volunteers @michelleyoung17. Michelle, a beautiful soul, devoted single mother, and brave soldier, has left us too soon. Her loss is a profound reminder that behind every smile can be struggles we know nothing about.
Michelle’s spirit of service extended to her volunteer work with Pilots to the Rescue. We remember her crucial role in an emergency rescue mission last year. Her dedication during that challenging mission, when Paw Force One encountered an oil leak in Kentucky, exemplified her courage and commitment. That long night, our founder drove through the night with Michelle, Brooke, & all the pups to get everyone back home safely, a journey we’ll never forget.
Her passing deeply saddens us and underscores the often silent battles many of us face. Today, we not only honor Michelle’s memory but also aim to support her beloved daughter G, who was Michelle’s entire world.
A GoFundMe has been set up to assist G during this incredibly difficult time. While no amount of support can fill the void left by Michelle, it’s a way for us to show solidarity and care for her daughter, just as Michelle cared for so many.
Please consider supporting: gofundme.com/f/ssgt-michelle-young

As we mourn Michelle’s loss, let’s hold her daughter and all who loved Michelle in our thoughts. Let this be a reminder to reach out, connect, and support each other, acknowledging the battles often hidden from view.
Michelle, you will be deeply missed, and your legacy of kindness and bravery will continue to inspire us. 🕊️💙
