Flashback to one of our more memorable – and biggest – rescues!

It was just before Christmas 2019 when we were able to rescue this 150 lb hunk of LOVE! He was surrendered from a family that needed to find him a home better suited for his size – and guess what? THEY DID!

Here is Apollo with his new mom! He got to skip the shelter and go straight to his fur-ever home.

[Note: normally we don’t facilitate single-dog transports, but because of Apollo’s size, we made a one-time exception].

If you’d like to help our pilots keep flying, we’d welcome your donations.
