In May 2025, we took to the skies for our biggest rescue flight yet—and our customers made it all possible.

Thanks to your support, over 120 animals—more than 60 dogs and 60 cats—were flown from overcrowded shelters in Louisiana to open arms and empty kennels in Wisconsin. This mission didn’t just change the lives of the animals on board; it also created space for others still waiting for their chance.

One of those passengers was Brimley.

Once loved, Brimley was heartbreakingly left behind—traded in for a puppy. He arrived matted, confused, and heartbroken. But even in his darkest moments, he never stopped showing love.

After a much-needed grooming and a little care, Brimley began to shine again. And then, he boarded the flight that would carry him to his new life—part of the largest rescue operation we’ve ever undertaken.

Because of you, Brimley now has a second chance. You gave him, and so many others like him, the fresh start they deserve.

This mission was more than a rescue flight. It was a declaration of hope, love, and unwavering commitment to animals in need.

Thank you for being the lifeline these animals needed.
