I have been a pilot for approximately 10yrs, and in this time, I have worked for a charitable organization called "Pilots n Paws". I donate my time and resources to relocate animals from kill shelters to non-kill shelters. I coordinate with Pilots all over the US to help relocate these animals by sharing the distance traveled amongst other pilots and volunteers.
