The Coalition for Animal Rescue needs volunteer pilots to help transport homeless dogs from Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. John and Tortola, islands hit hard by last year’s Hurricane Maria.
Volunteer Pilots Needed to Fly Dogs Still Affected by Hurricane Maria
Key Takeaways:
- The Coalition for Animal Rescue (CAR) is urgently seeking volunteer pilots to transport homeless dogs from Hurricane Maria-affected Caribbean islands (Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. John, Tortola) to the U.S.
- Current large-scale animal rescue transport methods are financially unsustainable and logistically challenging, costing up to $18,000 per flight for 75 dogs.
- Volunteer pilots can dramatically increase the number of dogs saved and allow rescue funds to be redirected to essential medical costs or spay/neuter services.
- Dogs transported by volunteers are fully vaccinated, come with health certificates, and crates are supplied.
