17 Dogs Saved with model, dancer, actress and casting director Savannah Vinson

On a cold and snowy Saturday in late February, Pilots To The Rescue Top Dog Pilot Michael Schneider and co-pilot Daniel Baumel flew from New Jersey to North Carolina, accompanied by model, dancer, actress, and casting director Savannah Vinson.

Savannah was raised on a farm where they had several rescued dogs and cats, and she generously agreed to come along on the flight to help raise awareness of the work we are doing.

In North Carolina, the team picked up ten homeless adult dogs, three Cattle Dog/Heeler mix puppies from an overwhelmed shelter in Georgia, four 3 month old Heeler/Husky mixes who were found abandoned and tied up outdoors in South Carolina, and a 4 month old German Shepherd rescued from an irresponsible breeder.

The nearly 300 mile return flight culminated in safety in New Jersey with our new partners at Home For Good Dog Rescue, a foster-home based non-profit. Each and every one has now been adopted!
