Puppy Rescue Flights, Inc.

Transporting Rescued Pets to Safety Since 2010

Our History

This operation, officially established as Puppy Rescue Flights Inc, a 501c3 non-profit, began unofficially in September 2010 under the initiative of Pilot Michael Young. Over the past 13 years, Pilot Young has personally flown over 8,500 pups/dogs and coordinated the air transport of several hundred more by other dedicated pilots. What started as a personal effort has now evolved into a substantial operation with dozens of volunteer pilots in Alabama and Florida, as well as the support of hundreds of dedicated volunteers providing Ground Support.

As a registered 501c3 organization, Puppy Rescue Flights Inc is committed to the rescue and safe transportation of animals from over-crowded shelters and rural areas in Alabama. The collaborative efforts of our volunteer pilots and Ground Support volunteers play a crucial role in the success of our mission.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

At Puppy Rescue Flights Inc, we are dedicated to orchestrating and facilitating secure transportation for rescued puppies and dogs. In select instances, we also extend our efforts to include the transportation of cats and kittens. These cherished companions hail from overcrowded shelters, often high-kill facilities, as well as private rescues nestled in remote rural areas where adoption prospects are slim and euthanasia looms.

Our core mission revolves around providing a lifeline to these animals, sparing them from unnecessary harm. Through our coordinated operations, these rescued pets find their way to private rescue organizations located in urban centers. Here, they receive essential spaying or neutering procedures, comprehensive healthcare, and preparation for eventual adoption. Concurrently, we actively champion the advancement of spaying and neutering initiatives within rural communities, fostering responsible pet care.

Generously donated funds play a pivotal role in sustaining our mission. These contributions are allocated to cover critical transportation expenses vital to executing our rescue operations. Moreover, these funds support the procurement of sustenance, supplies, medications, and veterinary care for these abandoned animals, both at the originating shelters and rescues, as well as at the receiving rescue organizations.

Our commitment extends to endorsing organizations that spearhead spaying and neutering programs, addressing the fundamental causes of pet overpopulation. The allocation of donated funds within our network is a responsibility assumed by our dedicated team of company officers, ensuring that resources reach those in greatest need.

At Puppy Rescue Flights Inc, our mission exemplifies our unwavering dedication to offering a second chance at life for these deserving animals. Every journey, every effort, and every contribution are integral components of our vision for a brighter future for our four-legged companions.
